Long-term Memory
How much is the capacity and duration of long-term memory?
infinite (depending on various factors)
What is implicit memory?
Memory that does not need active recall to be retrieved
What is explicit memory?
Memory that needs to be active recalled to be retrieved
What is semantic memory?
What is episodic memory?
memories of a particular event
What categories is long-term memory encoded by? (Hint: another word for intent)
Meaning
What type of memories is implicit memory responsible for?
knowing how to do things (skills, actions, operations, conditioned responses)
What type of memories is explicit memory responsible for?
facts, general knowledge, events
Give an example of a semantic memory you have. (if you give a really creative, interesting, or weird semantic memory, that is true, you can receive up to 400 extra points)
a memory that is a fact, or that is general knowledge.
Give an example of a episodic memory you have. (if you give a really creative, interesting, or weird semantic memory, that is true, you can receive up to 400 extra points)
a memory that is of a particular event or autobiographic e.g. birthdays, first day of school
Why are long-term memories 'forgotten'?
Due to poor retrieval cues
Can implicit memories be 'forgotten'? If so, how easily are they forgotten?
Yes they can be 'forgotten', however they are very resistant to it.
What are the categories explicit memories are sorted into and what are they sorted by?
Explicit memories are sorted into semantic (facts) and episodic (events) memories.
What are the two types of episodic memory?
Retrospective and prospective
Explain the differences between implicit and explicit memory through an example.

Explicit - Reading (facts, events, gen knowledge)
Give an example of how implicit memory is used by a chef.
anything that includes skills, operations, and conditioned responses
Give an example of how explicit memory is used by a student.
