True or False:
Chunking increases the actual storage capacity of short-term memory by allowing the brain to store more individual pieces of information at the same time.

F

  • Chunking can increase the amount of information we can remember → True
  • Chunking increases the actual capacity of STM → False

B. Procedural and episodic memories may involve different memory systems.
C. Procedural memory is stored in short-term memory.
D. Brain damage always affects all types of long-term memory equally.
