Question 15

Which lobe for visual implicit memory?

Answer 15

Occipital lobe

Question 16

Auditory cortex for…

Answer 16

auditory discrimination

Question 17

Encoding vs. consolidation

Answer 17

Encoding is the accurate registration of incoming information, whereas, consolidation is what happens after you receive the information. CVLT is good for encoding because of repetition.
