Explain the difference between implicit and explicit memory tests, and provide an example of each.
Explain the difference between implicit and explicit memory tests, and provide an example of each.
Implicit memory tests do not explicitly instruct subjects to use memory, reflecting 'unconscious memory,' while explicit memory tests explicitly instruct subjects to use memory, associated with 'conscious recollection.' An example of an explicit memory test is a recognition test, while an example of an implicit memory test is word fragment completion.
Describe the findings of the study on forgetting rates for perceptual implicit memory compared to explicit recognition.
Describe the findings of the study on forgetting rates for perceptual implicit memory compared to explicit recognition.
The study found that forgetting rates are slower for perceptual implicit memory than for explicit recognition.
What were the results of the study comparing the attention requirements for implicit and explicit memory?
What were the results of the study comparing the attention requirements for implicit and explicit memory?
The study found that implicit memory does not require attention, as evidenced by the results of the test involving words with full attention versus words with a secondary task (divided attention).
