Explicit Memories

Memories we are aware of

Implicit memories

Memories we are not aware of, we do many things without expllaining how we do them. These are called procedural memories

H.M.'s case has been extremely informative to psychologists by demonstrating that a. STM can operate normally while LTM is impaired. b. LTM can operate normally while STM is impaired. c. impairment of one memory system (LTM or STM) necessarily leads to deficits in the functioning of the other. d. a double dissociation exists for STM and LTM.

What happens to LTM memory on episodic and semanitic information?

semantic memory remembered better than episodic for long time periods

Release from proactive interference experiment?

test (A): 4 trials all 4 trials are of fruits, every trial results in a decrease of the new information being recalled (proactive interference) test (B): 4 trials first three trials were professions to be memorized, these first three trials showed the same curve as in test A, then on the 4th trial fruits were presented, the fruits were memorized with ease indicating that proactive interference was released
