Front 1

Explicit memory system

Back 1

__________________ system that consists of the frontal lobe and the hippocampus.

Front 2

Implicit memory system

Back 2

_________________ system that consists of cerebellum and basal ganglia.

Front 3

Frontal Lobe

Back 3

Apart of the explicit memory system that processes and stores explicit memory is called the ____________.

Front 4

Hippocampus

Back 4

Apart of the explicit memory system that forms new declarative long term memory and activates during sleep is called the ________________.

Front 5

Amnesia

Back 5

Loss of memory that occurs as a result of physical or psychological trauma is called _______________.

Front 6

Anterograde amnesia

Back 6

Front 13

Amygdala (flashbulb memory)

Back 13

The ____________________ functions in the explicit-memory system and is triggered by hormonal changes. The hormonal changes initiates a memory trace and because of this, emotion persist without conscious awareness.
