Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hippocampus is involved in the formation and consolidation of explicit memories, which are memories that can be consciously recalled and declared, such as facts or events. Procedural, automatic, and implicit memories involve different regions of the brain, such as the cerebellum and basal ganglia, and do not require the involvement of the hippocampus.
