Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that retrieval suppression was associated with a decrease in activity in the hippocampus. Option A is incorrect since the study did not find any association with feeling ill at ease in the scanner. Option B is incorrect as the regions associated with retrieval suppression were not in the occipital lobe. Option D is also incorrect as the study found a decrease in activity in the hippocampus, not an increase.
