Q

What are the functions of autobiographical memories

A

Direct = guide and shape behaviour, problem solving and planning
Social = facilitating social interaction, develops new relationships and maintains old ones

Q

What is conways self-memory system

Q

Why can’t we make good episodic memories when we’re younger

Q

Why is it difficult for children to make memories in reference to the PFC and hippocampus

A

The hippocampus and PFC need to develop enough to be able to have strategic control over memory making

Q

What is stochastic independence

A

Lack of correlation between 2 measures of memory at level of individual items

26

What is functional independence

A

Finding experimental manipulation that affect performance on 2 measures of memory in different and even opposite ways

A

Right side

29
Q

What part does the stratum play in memory

A

Rewards learning

30

Remember to do something and remembering have done something

31
Q

What is procedural and declarative in memory

A

Unconscious memory and conscious memory

32

A

Episodic and semantic

36
Q

What are examples of non-declarative memories

A

37
Q

How does the hippocampus receive memory info

A
