In patients with Huntington’ s disease, it’ s the part of the brain called the basal ganglia that’ s destroyed. While these victims have perfectly intact explicit memory systems, they can’ t learn new motor skills. An Alzheimer’ s patient can learn to draw in a mirror but can’ t remember doing it: a Huntington ’ s patient can’ t do it but can remember trying to learn. Yet another region of the brain, an almond-size knot of neural tissue seems to be crucial in forming and triggering the recall of a special subclass of memories that is tied to strong emotion, especially fear. These are just some of the major divisions. Within the category of implicit memory, for example, lie the subcategories of associative memory--the phenomenon that famously led Parlov’ s dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell which they had learned to associate with food--and of habituation, in which we unconsciously file a way uncha

Passage 4
One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is the voice of the advertisers. Its strident clamour dominates our lives. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; plucks at our sleeves on the escalator; signals to us from the successful man as a man no less than 20% of whose mall consists of announcements of giant carpet sales.

C. Doctors are most successful when they are both emotional and scientific.
