Memories for facts that dont depend on remembering specific events
Semantic memory
____ refers to distinguishing between different types of memory
Division
____ refers to the fact that the different types of memory can interact and share mechanisms.
Memories such as short-term, long-term and LT into episodic, and semantic, and procedural
Interaction
A classic experiment by BB Murdock Jr. (1962) studied the distinction between STM and LTM by measuring a function called the ____ ____ ___.
Serial Position Curve
In an experiment that participants are asked to recall a list of words, a plot of the percentage of participants remembering each word against the position of that word in the list
Serial position curve
The finding that participants are more likely to remember words presented at the beginning of a sequence is called the _____ effect
Primacy
In a memory experiment in which a list of words is presented, enhanced memory for words presented at the end of the list : __ effect
