What is the difference between declarative and nondeclarative memories?
Declaritive memory is recalling things you have learned or experienced, much like graduation day or prom night. We can recall who was prom queen. Nondeclarative memories is more like muscle memory, some activities are like tieing shoelaces, or riding a bike. Declarative memories are memories for experiences in your life and nondeclarative memories are memories for procedural types of information.

Describe the difference between cataplexy and sleep paralysis.
cataplexy is a narcolepsy attack, when mucles weaken without warning, or mucle goes limp.Sometimes experiencing strong feelings to the point that muscles go weak. it usually presents itself while awake and perfoming normal activities, and without warning cataplexy can occur. Sleep paralysis usually happens when you are about to fall asleep or between sleep stages. It is the inability to move after awaking, it usually last a between less than a minute to up to several minutes. Catapplexy is when someone has a narcoleptic attack and has muscle weakness and falls to the floor. Sleep paralysis is the inability to move right before sleep.
Sound can best be thought of as
changes in air pressure produced by the vibration of an object.
Stages of sleep are easily distinguished by
