Document Summary
Explicit memory information that you can recall. Implicit memory can"t really tell another person using in a narrative form but you can show through seq of motor output: associative (classical and operant conditioning, non-associative memory: 2 types: habituation and sensitization. These are served by reflex pathways in the spinal cord. Brain mapping the diff parts that subserves diff kinds of memories. Semantic memory and episodic memory are subserved/processed in the medial, temporal lobe including hippo and parts of the diencephalon. Procedural -> motor related structure: basal ganglia, cerebellum , primary motor area and supplementary motor area. Sensitization: increase in response to a naturally weak stimulus after being presented with a strong stimulus: eg. doctor"s office for vaccination. Habituation: decline in the response after repeated exposure to the same stimulus: not so meaningful stimulus and your response declines progressively. Neuroscientists have focused on a reflex behaviour: siphon/gill withdrawal reflex.
