Q

Sherry can remember her tenth birthday party when she was on holiday in France. During this holiday her father taught her how to swim. Although it took time for her to learn, she barely has to think about how to swim now. Sherry can also remember the French words for the food she ate while they were in France, even though she did not speak any French before the holiday.

With reference to Sherry’s experiences, explain episodic memory.

A

Sherry remembering her tenth birthday party/when she was on holiday in France are examples of episodic memory because she recalls the events that took place at a specific point in time

Although it took time for her to learn, she barely has to think about how to swim now. Sherry can also remember the French words for the food she ate while they were in France, even though she did not speak any French before the holiday.

With reference to Sherry’s experiences, explain procedural memory.

A

Sherry remembering how to swim is an example of procedural memory because she is remembering an automatic action/muscle-based memory

54
Q

Sherry can remember her tenth birthday party when she was on holiday in France. During this holiday her father taught her how to swim. Although it took time for her to learn, she barely has to think about how to swim now. Sherry can also remember the French words for the food she ate while they were in France, even though she did not speak any French before the holiday.

With reference to Sherry’s experiences, explain semantic memory.

A

Sherry recalling the French words (for the food she ate) is an example of semantic memory because it involves remembering factual/meaningful information.

55
Q

Annie can still skateboard even though she hasn’t skated for many years. What type of LTM is this, explain.

A

Annie’s case/remembering how to skateboard is an example of procedural memory (1) because she is remembering an action or muscle-based memory (1).

What type of LTM is this, explain.

56
Q

Germaine can still recall what happened on his first day at university even though it was ages ago.

What type of LTM is this, explain.
