  • Which type of memory is described as being resistant to forgetting?
    Procedural memory
  • What is automatic language production in relation to procedural and semantic memory?
    It allows fluent speech using semantic facts without conscious recall

    Play the piano
  • How are episodic memories characterized in the text?
    They are autobiographical and about personal life experiences
  • What are the three types of long-term memory?
    • Semantic memory
    • Procedural memory
    • Episodic memory
  • What type of memory is described as non-declarative and implicit?
    Procedural memory
  • What is retrograde amnesia as described in Clive Wearing's case?
    Inability to remember episodic memories from before brain damage
  • What influences the strength of episodic memories?
    The level of emotion felt when coded
  • What distinguishes declarative memories from non-declarative memories?
    Declarative memories can be put into words, while non-declarative memories cannot
  • What is the role of the hippocampus in memory?
    It connects different brain regions for memory storage
  • What is the relationship between procedural and semantic memory as mentioned in the text?
    There is a strong connection as we can produce automatic language
  • How do modern cognitive neuroscience studies contribute to memory research?
    They use healthy samples to show distinctions between types of long-term memory
  • What is the significance of Clive Wearing's ability to play the piano?
    It demonstrates that procedural memory can remain intact despite other memory losses
  • What should you do if asked to discuss the differences between types of long-term memory?
    Pick a few key distinctions to explain
  • How does the depth of processing affect semantic memory strength?
    More links to information increase its strength
  • What is the relationship between episodic and semantic memories over time?
    Episodic memories can become semantic memories
  • What is the role of the motor cortex in memory?
    It is involved in procedural memory
  • What is the significance of the hippocampus in relation to memory types?
    It connects different brain regions for episodic and semantic memory
  • What is the role of emotion in episodic memory strength?
    It influences how deeply the information is processed
  • How does the ability to perform a skill relate to procedural memory?
    It can be performed unconsciously after learning
  • What is the impact of practice on procedural memory strength?
    More practice increases the strength of procedural memory
  • What is the relationship between automatic language production and memory types?
    It shows a connection between procedural and semantic memory

    Declarative memories can be put into words, while non-declarative memories cannot
  • What type of memory is described when recalling how to ride a bike?
    Procedural memory
  • How resistant to forgetting are procedural memories?
    Procedural memories are very resistant to forgetting
  • What type of amnesia does Clive Wearing have?
    Retrograde amnesia
  • If you were asked to describe the capital of France, which type of memory would you use?
    Semantic memory
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of using clinical case studies in memory research?
    Strengths:
    • In-depth investigation of memory
    • Unique insights into memory processes

    Weaknesses:
    • Limited generalizability to healthy individuals
    • Potential for extensive unseen brain damage
