• working memory, procedural memory, and semantic memory

What are the features of short term memory?

• Limited capacity and duration

• Limited capacity but unlimited duration

• Unlimited capacity and duration

• No capacity but unlimited duration

What are the features of long term memory?

• Capacity to store only visual information for a long period of time

• Capacity to store a large amount of information for a long period of time

• Inability to retain any information for a long period of time

• Ability to store a small amount of information for a short period of time

What is anterograde amnesia?

• Inability to form new memories

• Enhanced ability to form new memories

• Difficulty in recalling old memories

• Improved cognitive function

Explain retrograde amnesia and its impact on memory.

• Retrograde amnesia is the enhancement of memory for events that occurred before the onset of amnesia.

• Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memory for events that occurred before the onset of amnesia. It can impact the ability to recall past experiences and information.

• Retrograde amnesia has no impact on memory and does not affect the ability to recall past experiences and information.

Discuss the role of rehearsal in the multi-store model of memory.

• Rehearsal only occurs in long-term memory

• Transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory

• Rehearsal has no role in the multi-store model of memory

• Rehearsal is only important for visual memories

Explain the terms 'encoding' and 'retrieval'.

• Encoding is the process of deleting information from memory, while retrieval is the process of storing new information.

• Encoding is the process of organizing information in memory, while retrieval is the process of forgetting stored information.

• Encoding is the process of converting information into a form that can be stored in memory, while retrieval is the process of accessing and bringing stored information back into conscious awareness.

• Encoding is the process of encrypting information in memory, while retrieval is the process of decrypting stored information.

What are the limitations of Bartlett's Theory of Reconstructive Memory?

• Inability to explain the role of emotions in memory

• Lack of empirical evidence and subjective interpretation of data

• Overemphasis on the role of schemas in memory

• Too much reliance on objective evidence
