participants presented with word pairs; told to remember second word of pair; pair was semantically related or rhymed; during testing, prime words were presented as cues or hints

Fisher and Craik

had severe epilepsy, severe anterograde, unable to form new long term memories

HM

inability to form new long term memories (50 first dates) can learn new implicit tasks

anterograde amnesia

direct, recall or recognition, episodic, conscious

explicit memory

distinction between explicit and implicit memory is supported by

brain damage

good memory for generic info, love for wife, unable to remember events, disrupted episodic memory but intact semantic memory

clyde wearing

dependent on the state one is in during acquisition; more likely to remember material when in the same state as encoded

context-dependent memory

spreading activation
