- AMary can remember going her friends house 3 weeks ago.
- BTom can remember how to play football.
- CAlex can remember the meaning of the word 'memory'.
21Procedural memory refers to [blank_start]actions and skills[blank_end]. These memories aren't [blank_start]time stamped[blank_end], and require no [blank_start]conscious effort[blank_end].
- Aactions and skills
- Btime stamped
- Cconscious effort to recall
22Endel [blank_start]Tulving[blank_end] ([blank_start]1985[blank_end]) realised the multi-store model was too simplistic and that LTM wasn't a [blank_start]unitary store[blank_end]. He believed there were [blank_start]3[blank_end] separate LTM stores: episodic, semantic and procedural.

36Retrieval Failure: an explanation for forgetting that suggests that [blank_start]insufficient cues[blank_end] cause information to be forgotten. These cues can be [blank_start]state[blank_end] dependent (internal, e.g. drunk, tired) or [blank_start]context[blank_end] dependent (external, e.g. location)

- Mdrug
37[blank_start]Tulving[blank_end] ([blank_start]1983[blank_end]) suggested the [blank_start]Encoding[blank_end] Specificity Principle (ESP). This indicates that cues must be [blank_start]present on encoding[blank_end] and [blank_start]retrieval[blank_end] in order for them to be sufficient. Some cues are linked to material in a [blank_start]memorable[blank_end] way e.g.' STM' helps us recall information about short term memory. Other cues are not so obvious: either context (external) or state (internal) dependent.

39[blank_start]Carter and Cassaday[blank_end] ([blank_start]1998[blank_end]) conducted a study based on [blank_start]state[blank_end] dependent forgetting. They either gave the participants [blank_start]anti-histamines[blank_end] or didn't, asked them to learn and recall word lists. They recalled them either on the drug or not. They found that when there was a [blank_start]mismatch[blank_end] of internal states, recall was [blank_start]worse[blank_end].

- AContacted
- BSmashed
- CBumped
- DHit
44The [blank_start]response bias[blank_end] explanation suggests that the wording of a question has [blank_start]no effect[blank_end] on the participants' memories, but it changes the way they decide to answer. Words such as '[blank_start]smashed[blank_end]' encouraged them to answer a [blank_start]higher[blank_end] estimated speed.

- Cpolice officers
- Dcontaminated
- Emore accurate

48[blank_start]Gabbert[blank_end] put participants in pairs, and they watched a video of [blank_start]the same[blank_end] crime from [blank_start]different[blank_end] perspectives. They had a post-event discussion, and were then asked to recall the event. Gabbert found that [blank_start]71[blank_end]% of participants recalled information that they couldn't have seen from their perspective, suggesting post-event discussion [blank_start]directly affects[blank_end] eyewitness testimony.

- BCarter and Cassaday, 1998
- CLoftus and Palmer, 1974
- DBaddeley, 1996
52Which answer describes Johnson and Scott's study on anxiety?
- AParticipants believed they were doing a lab study. While waiting in the waiting room, an argument was heard, and a man either came out of the room with a pen and grease on his hands, or a paper knife with blood on it.
- BA study on a real life shooting, in which they interviewed people 5 months after the incident to see if anxiety had affected their memory in any way compared to their original police interviews, as well as seeing if they suffered any emotional stress since the incident.
53Which researcher investigated how anxiety affects recall in a positive way, and when?
- AYuille and Cutshall, 1986

- CBaddeley, 1966
- DTulving, 1983
- ECarter and Cassaday, 1998
- FLoftus and Palmer, 1974
56The [blank_start]Yerkes-Dodson[blank_end] law suggested that the relationship between [blank_start]emotional arousal[blank_end] and [blank_start]performance[blank_end] looks like an inverted [blank_start]U[blank_end]. This means that too [blank_start]little[blank_end] anxiety leads to too [blank_start]little[blank_end] recall, and too [blank_start]much[blank_end] anxiety leads to too [blank_start]little[blank_end] recall. Therefore, there is an [blank_start]optimal[blank_end] level of anxiety to ensure accurate recall.

57Name five disadvantages of the anxiety-recall studies.
1. [blank_start]Weapon[blank_end] focus could be [blank_start]irrelevant[blank_end]- may be based on [blank_start]unusualness[blank_end] of object/situation, not anxiety
2. Field studies can lack [blank_start]control[blank_end]- Yuille and Cutshall's (1986) study had post-event discussions, which is an [blank_start]extraneous[blank_end] variable
3. [blank_start]Ethical[blank_end] issues- deception (thought they were doing lab study), [blank_start]psychological[blank_end] harm (inducing anxiety)
4. Inverted U too [blank_start]simplistic[blank_end]- anxiety has more elements (emotional, cognitive etc.) other than [blank_start]physical[blank_end]
5. [blank_start]Demand[blank_end] characteristics- lab studies- AWeapon

- BJohnson and Scott, 1986
- CCarter and Cassaday, 1998
- DFisher and Geiselmann, 1992
59What are the 4 steps of a cognitive interview?
1. [blank_start]Report everything[blank_end]- include every detail, no matter how seemingly significant they are. They may actually be important, or trigger other memories
2. [blank_start]Reinstate the context[blank_end]- the witness should return to the scene in their mind, and remember their feelings and the environment (e.g. weather)
3. [blank_start]Reverse the order[blank_end]- change the chronology of event, preventing lying or basing answers on expectations
4. [blank_start]Change perspective[blank_end]- ask the witness to imagine themselves as a different witness/criminal, and then what they would've seen. This prevents basing answers on expectations.- AReport everything

63Semantic memory involves our [blank_start]knowledge of the world[blank_end]. Unlike episodic memory, these memories are not [blank_start]time stamped[blank_end], although they do require [blank_start]conscious effort[blank_end] to recall.
- Aknowledge of the world
- Btime stamped
- Cconscious effort
