Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Joanna's memory is accurate, then recalling the day of the robbery should activate the same areas as other memories of being with Kyle. However, it should also activate different areas than remembering the field trip that the teacher claims she was on. Therefore, both options B and C are correct. Option A is not a viable answer as no specific areas of the brain have been identified as being solely involved in telling the truth.
