True or False?
Semantic memories are time-stamped.
False.
Semantic memories are not time-stamped as they consist of knowledge/facts.
An example of semantic memory is:
a) knowing the name of your first teacher
b) recalling your first day at school
c) being able to ride a bike
a.
An example of semantic memory is knowing the name of your first teacher.
Procedural memory is used when we carry out certain .
Procedural memory is used when we carry out certain skills.
These skills are automatic and require little concentration, e.g. riding a bike, roller skating, driving.
Brain scans indicate that each type of long-term memory may be stored in different areas of the brain, which is a strength because:
a) this is rich, insightful data
b) this is clinical evidence which is objective
c) this takes an idiographic approach
b.
Brain scans indicate that each type of long-term memory may be stored in different areas of the brain, which is a strength because this is clinical evidence which is objective and therefore scientific.
True or False?
One strength is that there is no crossover at all between any of the types of long-term memory.
False.
There are some cross-overs between episodic and semantic memory, which suggests that long-term memory is actually more complex than first thought.
An example of procedural memory is:
a) learning how to drive a car
b) trying ice skating for the first time
c) playing the piano at a concert
c.
An example of procedural memory is playing the piano at a concert.
