Maguire, Valentine, Wilding, and Kapur (2003) were able to memory competitors using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Relative to normal controls, the memory competitors:
A)showed less average activity in the cerebellum.
B)showed more activity in areas of the right prefrontal cortex, which are associated with spatial memory and navigation.
C)showed more activity in the left prefrontal cortex, which are associated with verbal strategies.
D)showed surprisingly more activity in the anterior cingulate and the amygdala.

Question

Maguire et al. (2003) found that memory competitors showed more activity in areas of the right prefrontal cortex, which are associated with spatial memory and navigation, compared to normal controls. This suggests that the memory competitors may have been using spatial strategies to memorize information.
