Question 2

What is Mishkin's neural circuit for implicit memory? You may want to include a diagram in your answer.

Accepted Answer

In Mishkin's (1982) model of implicit memory, the basal ganglia in the midbrain receives inputs from the neocortex and dopamine-producing cells in the ventral tegmental area and substantia negri nuclei in the brain stem. The basal ganglia then sends that information to the thalamus, which in turn sends information to the premotor cortex. Students may draw a diagram similar to Figure 5.5 in the text

Accepted Answer

An artificial grammar is a set of rules governing how a string of letters can be combined. Students may draw Figure 5.6 in the text
