Role of Cerebellum in Memory

what is the cerebelum and what is its functions?

is a vital component of the brain that plays roles in balance and posture, mental function, movement, motor learning, vision, and memory

recall what is implicit memory

unconcious retention using information aquired through experience or exposure

what are the three types of implicit memory?

1. procedural memory - this type of implicit memory involes the retention of skills and procedures that can be that can be performed automatically with no concious

2. habit learing - habits are automatic behaviours aquired through repetition and practice

3. conditioning - involve formation of associations between stimuli and repsonses, influencing behaviour with no concious

what is the cerebellums involvement in memory?

• this structure play crucial roles in the formation and storage of implicit memories

• the cerebellum contribute to formation, storage, encoding and fine tuning of motor skills, habits and procedural knowledge

what are the cerebellum processes steps in terms of memory?

1. motor learning - a process where the cerebellum is crucial to aquire this

2. repetition - when we repeat the cerebellum fine tunes motor commands

3. storage - stored in cerebellum

4. automatic motor functions - ability to perform tasks with no concious effort

5. integration - receives input from sensory areas and integrates this with motor commands to ensure right movements.
