How does perceptual memory work?
A. The amygdala triggers an emotional response in the hypothalamus; projections to the hippocampus then prompt the recall of a specific memory.
B. Changes in synaptic connections in the visual association cortex occur during perceptual learning; at a later time, these circuits become active again, providing a "readout" of the visual memory.
C. A continuous flow of perceptual information is compared to a "template" of previously learned information stored in the cerebellum; when a "match" is made a memory is recalled.
D. Short-term perceptual memories occur at the level of the senses, whereas long-term perceptual memories are produced by the left frontal lobe.
