Final answer:

The statement is false because increased ACh release in the hippocampus is associated with explicit memories rather than procedural memories, which are typically processed by the cerebellum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that increased ACh release in the hippocampus favors expression of a procedural memory is False. Procedural memories, such as motor learning and classical conditioning, are predominantly processed and stored in the cerebellum, not the hippocampus

Although the hippocampus is involved in memory processing, it is more specifically associated with encoding new declarative and episodic memories and not procedural memories. Increased acetylcholine (ACh) release in the hippocampus may support activities linked to learning and memory but it favors explicit memory processing over procedural memory expression.
