Document Summary
If rehearsal time is increased, primacy effect decreases. Double dissociation: they interact but are not the same process. Semantic coding is predominant type of coding in ltm types of ltm. Repetition priming-performance in response to stimulus is better if stimulus has been encountered recently. Effect of priming remains after stimulus is no longer presented. Performance improves even though training is not remembered. Procedural memory-remembering how to drive, ride a bike, etc. Experience of how skill was acquired is not remembered. Remains intact even if episodic memory is lost separation of episodic and semantic memory. : severe damage to hippocampus after accident, lost episodic memory, can no longer relive past events, knows that brother died but does not remember circumstances, remembers facts. Italian woman: brain damage after encephalitis, difficulties recognizing familiar people and remembering shopping list connections between episodic and semantic memory. Episodic info gets lost, but facts remain. Semantic memory can be enhanced via episodic memory.
