Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Procedural memories, which relate to motor skills and habits, are stored in the basal ganglia. However, communication between the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex, which is necessary for conscious awareness of these memories, is limited. Therefore, we lack conscious awareness of many procedural memories. The other options are not as directly related to the storage or retrieval of procedural memories.
