Researchers categorize memory into two different kinds which then have subcategories. Implicit memory (intuition) form new memories that are procedural (implicit) Hm is unable to make new memories that are declarative (explicit), but he can. Hm learned the tower of hanoi (game) after his surgery. Cerebellum a neural center that processes implicit memories it, he is unable to remember the fact that he has already played the game. Donald hebb proposed that there were lasting cellular changes that must take place to represent learning and memory in the brain. Now is commonly known as the neurons that fire together wire together . Synapse that formed as a result of learning. Long-term increase in the excitability of a neuron to a particular synaptic input caused by repeated high-frequency activation of the input. Hippocampal formation structure in the temporal lobe that consists of the.
