Answer to Question 1

Answer: Amnesiacs, like H.M., have their hippocampus removed. They experience anterograde amnesia in which they cannot create new memories. Therefore, the hippocampus must be important for binding information into memory. Likewise, the retrograde amnesia found with these patients suggests that the hippocampus is important for consolidating information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Explicit memory is memory for facts, ideas, and events that is consciously recalled. Implicit memory is for nonconscious types of memory that do not have to be recalled but, nevertheless, aid performance.
