Evaluate a model or a theory of one cognitive process (e.g. Memory, perception, language, decision making), with reference to research studies.
There are two types of long term memory: Explicit (declarative) Memory and Implicit (non-declarative) Memory.
First we will explore explicit memory and the breakdown of it. Explicit memory consists of Episodic (biographical events) and semantic (which includes words, ideas, and concepts.)
· Episodic- memories that you experience at a specific time and place
· Semantic- the system in which you use to store your knowledge of the world
Implicit (non-declarative) memory is expressed by means other than words. This is broken down into four categories which include procedural (skills), emotional conditioning, priming effect and conditioned reflex.
· Procedural memory- enables people to acquire motor skills and gradually improve them
· Emotional conditioning- related to our emotions
· Priming effect- we do this on a regular basis in which we relate things to something we already know from a previous experience.
