- 7cerebellumThe cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain that is located near the brainstem.
The cerebellum plays a key role in forming and storing the implicit memories created by classical conditioning. Implicit memory formation needs the cerebellum. - 8basal gangliaThe basal ganglia is a group of deep brain structures involved the formation of our procedural memories for skills.
They are involved in the process of performing tasks without conscious awareness, such as riding a bicycle or playing a musical instrument. The basal ganglia help in the automation of these skills by linking sequences of actions into smooth, habitual routines. - 9infantile amnesiaOur conscious memory of our infancy (first four years of life) is essentially blank.
Two factors contribute to infantile amnesia:
