question 5 of 10 step 1 of 1
which of the following options describe a memory function of the amygdala? select the four that apply.
answer 2 points
remembering that a particular location makes one feel afraid
storing memories that involved traumatic emotional events
remembering that a particular person makes one feel afraid
remembering where the milk is located in the grocery store
moving new information into long - term memory

Explanation:

The amygdala is involved in emotional - related memory functions. It helps in remembering emotional associations such as fear - related memories (locations or people that cause fear) and stores memories of traumatic emotional events. Moving new information into long - term memory is more related to the hippocampus, and remembering where milk is in a grocery store is a non - emotional spatial memory not primarily an amygdala function.

Answer:

1. remembering that a particular location makes one feel afraid
2. storing memories that involved traumatic emotional events
3. remembering that a particular person makes one feel afraid
4. moving new information into long - term memory (although the amygdala has a role in emotional aspects of this process rather than the whole process)
