Savig et al. (2008) monitored individual MTL neurons while displaying video clips of a variety of stimuli. They were able to identify neurons that respond preferentially to a visual stimulus. Later they asked participants to ________ and found preferential activation of the same neuron to the video clip concept.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study monitored individual MTL neurons and found ones that responded preferentially to visual stimuli. The researchers then tested the same neuron activation by asking participants to try to remember the video clips they had seen. This suggests that the neuron was activated by the concept of the video clip and not just the visual stimuli. Therefore, the best choice is C, to try to remember the video clips they had seen.
