What is the key distinction between implicit and explicit memory?
What is the key distinction between implicit and explicit memory?
- Implicit memory is associated with the central executive, while explicit memory is associated with the content-specific subsystems.
- Explicit memory includes both recognition and recall, while implicit memory does not.
- Implicit memory involves the use of stored knowledge without awareness, while explicit memory requires conscious effort. (correct)
- Implicit memory requires conscious recollection, while explicit memory does not.
According to the Cowan model of working memory, what is the relationship between working memory and long-term memory?
According to the Cowan model of working memory, what is the relationship between working memory and long-term memory?
- Working memory is completely separate from long-term memory.
- Working memory has a fixed capacity that is independent of long-term memory.
- Working memory can only hold information that is not stored in long-term memory.
- Working memory representations are a subset of long-term memory representations that are currently activated. (correct)
What is the key difference between retrograde and anterograde amnesia?
What is the key difference between retrograde and anterograde amnesia?
- Retrograde amnesia is caused by damage to the medial temporal lobes, while anterograde amnesia is caused by damage to the prefrontal cortex.
- Retrograde amnesia involves forgetting the past, while anterograde amnesia involves the inability to form new memories. (correct)
- Retrograde amnesia is a symptom of Alzheimer's disease, while anterograde amnesia is a symptom of Mild Cognitive Impairment.
- Retrograde amnesia results in a loss of long-term memories, while anterograde amnesia results in a loss of short-term memories.
