Compare the roles of the hippocampus and cerebellum in learning, using one example of the kind of learning associated with each.

### What a good answer covers - Identify the hippocampus with formation of new explicit memories. - Identify the cerebellum with motor learning. - Include conditioned responses as another cerebellar association. - Explain that the two regions are linked to different learning functions rather than treating them as interchangeable. ### The concept An explicit memory is information that can be consciously recalled. Motor learning concerns acquiring or adjusting a movement, while a conditioned response is a learned response associated with a stimulus. The course material assigns these functions to different brain regions, which illustrates that learning draws on distinct neural systems. ### Terms - **Hippocampus**: A brain region important for forming new explicit memories. - **Cerebellum**: A brain region associated here with motor learning and conditioned responses. - **Explicit memory**: A memory that can be consciously recalled. ### Remember Hippocampus points to new explicit memories; cerebellum points to motor learning and conditioned responses.
