Question 17
As people age they are likely to experience memory decline in
A. episodic and procedural memory.
B. declarative but not procedural memory.
C. declarative and procedural memory.
D. episodic but not procedural memory.

so i picked D but its C..

also when you relearn something, do you use recall/recognition to get the original score?? also people say if you learn it quicker then you have used relearning, what do they mean by quicker??? how can you measure how fast you have learnt something?

You sure it's C? The answer is B
Question 17
Answer: B
Explanation:
As people age they are likely to experience memory decline in declarative but not
procedural memory. (Note that D is partially correct but B is more correct because it
includes semantic memories, which also decline).

And I picked D as well.
Episodic - easily lost but semantic isn't so to say declarative in general would be incorrect wouldn't it?

5. Which one of the following is a possible explanation of why forgetting occurs?

A. Memory fades through overuse over time
B. Suitable retrieval cues are not used.
C. Material has been attended to in STM.
D. The subject is motivated to remember.

I chose A, as the question states possible explanation, but B was labelled as the correct answer.
I thought, that in regards to the retrieval failure theory, info is not actually forgotten, but just temporarily inaccessible due to poor cues.

try this question out:

Freda's dog Jip, always used to bark fiercely at the postman. Fiona trained Jip not to bark by squirting water in his face every time he barked. Soon Jip ran away to the back of the garden when the post was delivered.
After the whole family, including Jip, had spend four weeks at the beach over summer, Fiona noticed that Jip barked at the postman again on the first day back home.

Jip started to bark again after they returned from the beach is showing
A. acquisition of a learned response
B. extinction of a learned response
C. generalisation of a learned response
D. relearning of a learned response

additionaly, do adults usually experience difficulty forming new memories as they reach old age?


also, has anybody heard observational learning described as the "social learning theory"?




thank you :)

it does get a little hard to concentrate at 12:30 at night, after hours of studying..
but yes you are definitely correct, as most of my marks are lost from not properly reading the question.

haha your correct again. I was sure it was C. Don't you have to be in the same physical environment for it it to be context?

I just realised why it's B, the behaviour of barking at the postman has spontaneously recovered
but the behaviour of not barking has been extinguished...
didn't see that before :)
and yeah, I just did a trials for teachers exam.
