Q

‘I find it curious,’ said Mara, ‘that when I try to remember the answers for my psychology test I have to think really hard, but when I ride my surfboard I don’t have to think how to do it at all.’

With reference to types of LTM, explain why Mara finds remembering the answers to her psychology test more difficult than remembering how to surf (4 marks)

A

Mara finds it difficult to recall the answers for her test as they involve semantic long-term memories and episodic long-term memories
