Loci- "visual palace"
Chunking- breaking it down into pieces.
name all the types of memory our explicit and implicit memory branch off to
Implicit- procedural
explicit- declarative -> semantic and episodic
name the 3 re's in the types of retrieval and explain the difference between them.
relearning- learning something again
