What do studies of human anterograde amnesia reveal about the biological basis of long
term memory? Ground your answer in research described in your textbook.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should include a discussion of both human and animal research. The
discussion of human research should focus on the effects of specific kinds of brain damage (for
example, that sustained by H. M.) on specific memory processes (for example, disruption of the
formation of new explicit, but not new implicit, memories). The description of animal research
should concentrate on the role of the hippocampus in memory.
