PSYC 105 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Clive Wearing, Episodic Memory, Explicit Memory
Document Summary
Distinguishing between stm and ltm: double dissociation. Clive wearing and h. m. had functioning stm, but impaired ltm. K. f. had functioning ltm, but impaired stm. Proof that stm and ltm work independently of one another (can still be connected) Matching learning and testing conditions: context-dependent learning: dependent on the state one is in during acquisition, e(cid:374)(cid:272)odi(cid:374)g spe(cid:272)ifi(cid:272)it(cid:455): godde(cid:374) a(cid:374)d baddele(cid:455)"s di(cid:448)i(cid:374)g e(cid:454)peri(cid:373)e(cid:374)t.

Spacing effect: distributed practice vs. massed practice. Difficult to maintain close attention for long period of time.
