Why is perceptual priming relatively spared in Alzheimer's disease?
A) Because perceptual priming is a form of procedural memory, which is intact in Alzheimer's patients
B) Because the hippocampus (which is damaged in Alzheimer's) is not needed for priming
C) Because perceptual priming relies on the cortical sensory areas, which are relatively intact in Alzheimer's disease
D) A and B are correct


Which are similiraties and differences between recall and recollection?
A) Recall means to retrieve an item, which is actually not present; recollection means to recognize an item which is actually shown together with several other competing items
B) Recall depends on perihinal cortex, whereas recollection depends on hippocampus
C) Both recall and recollection depend on hippocampus
D) A and C are correct
