Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cerebellum has a key role in the processing, encoding and storage of what kind of memories?
A
explicit memories
B
short-term memories
C
procedural memories
D
declarative memories
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum plays a large role in implicit memories (procedural memory, motor learning, and classical conditioning).

Detailed explanation-2: -For explicit memories – which are about events that happened to you (episodic), as well as general facts and information (semantic) – there are three important areas of the brain: the hippocampus, the neocortex and the amygdala. Implicit memories, such as motor memories, rely on the basal ganglia and cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-3: -A curved seahorse-shaped organ on the underside of each temporal lobe, the hippocampus is part of a larger structure called the hippocampal formation. It supports memory, learning, navigation and perception of space. It receives information from the cerebral cortex and may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease.
