Your friend tells you that her father experienced brain damage in an accident. she wonders if psychology can explain why he can still play checkers very well but has a hard time holding a sensible conversation. what can you tell her?

Explanation:

            The consciously recalled explicit or declarative memories are processed in the hippocampus in our brain, and the implicit or the non-declarative memories of procedures and skills are processed in other parts, including the basal ganglia and the cerebellum of our brain. These are used to play games like the checkers.

            In the context, our friend's father might have damaged that part of the brain which processes explicit memories and not those parts that process the implicit memories.

answer: cannibalism, the capac raymi, capacocha, the eight day feast, the combing of the hair

explanation:

the incas have many rituals, cannibalism was always a very ritual thing, which was normally tied to sacrifices, warfare, death, and regeneration.

  the capac raymi was one of the most important ceremonies. it occurred around the summer solstice and was when they worshiped their sun god, also known as inti.

  the capacocho was another one of their most important ceremonies. it was when many children where selected to start their training, and these children where destined to become sacrificial blessings to their sun god, inti. being chosen for this ritual was a blessing.

  the eight day feast was a feast that lasted 8 days and, each day, the day began with a chanting at dawn. a follow up song at noon. which ended with complete silence at the end of the day. on this day, inca royalty was always dressed in silver and gold laced clothing.

  the combing of the hair was the most important ritual to young girls. this ritual was known as the coming of age ceremony, but only the most beautiful girls where chosen. in this ceremony, the girls chose their new name and where chosen as either brides, or princesses of rulers.
