amnesia
Ming is taking a memory test. She is more likely to recall the name of a popular singer if she had
attended the singers concert last year with her boyfriend
Explicit memory is to ___ as implicit memory is to ___.
aware; unaware
Why is classical conditioning considered a form of implicit memory?
because it involves learning an association without being aware of the reasons behind it
When investigating the serial position curve, delaying the memory test for 30 seconds
decreases the recency effect
____ memories are to experiences as _____ memories are to facts
episodic; semantic
The recency effect occurs when participants are asked to recall a list of words. One way to get rid of the recency effect is to
have participants count backwards for 30 seconds after hearing the last word of the list

implicit and procedural

it can involve both episodic and semantic memories
Suppose you have been studying your French vocab words for several hours and are making many mistakes. You switch to reviewing the new terms for your upcoming biol test, and your performance is noticeably better. You are experiencing
release from proactive interference
The predominant type of coding in LTM is
semantic
