Document Summary

Module 24 storage: retaining information in the brain. Our capacity for storing long-term memories is essentially limitless. Despite the brain"s vast storage capacity, we do not store information as libraries store their books, in discrete, precise locations. Instead many parts of the brain interact as we encode, store, and retrieve the information that forms our memories. What is the role of the frontal lobes and hippocampus in memory storage? consciously know and declare (declarative memory) Explicit memory: memory of facts and experiences that one can: the frontal lobes and hippocampus processes and stores. Recalling a password and holding it in working memory would explicit memory lobe activate the left frontal lobe. Calling up a visual party scene would activate the right frontal. Hippocampus: a temporal-lobe neural center located in the limbic system equivalent of a save button for memories. With left-hippocampus damage, people have trouble remembering verbal information but they have no trouble recalling visuals.
