Parts of the Brain Involved with Memory

Critical Thinking Questions

What might happen to your memory system if you sustained damage to your hippocampus?

Hint:

Because your hippocampus seems to be more of a processing area for your explicit memories, injury to this area could leave you unable to process new declarative (explicit) memories; however, even with this loss, you would be able to create implicit memories (procedural memory, motor learning and classical conditioning).
