   • Semantic memory

3. What type of memory stores general knowledge and facts about the world?

   • Episodic memory
   • Procedural memory
   • Sensory memory
   • Semantic memory

4. What type of long-term memory stores personal experiences and events?

   • Working memory
   • Semantic memory
   • Episodic memory
   • Procedural memory

5. Who proposed the distinction between episodic and semantic long-term memory in 1972?

   • Alan Baddeley
   • Richard Atkinson
   • Endel Tulving
   • Frederic Bartlett

6. Amnesia case studies showing loss of personal memories but preserved factual knowledge support which model?

   • Tulving's memory model
   • Reconstructive memory theory
   • Levels of processing
   • Multi-store model

7. How do episodic and semantic long-term memory primarily interact?

   • Personal experiences add meaning
   • Semantic creates episodic
   • Episodic replaces semantic
   • They never interact

8. Why is it difficult to study episodic and semantic memory in complete isolation?

   • They encode acoustically
   • They lack capacity
   • They decay quickly
   • They overlap

9. A brain injury patient remembers historical facts but no personal life events. Which memory is impaired?

   • Short-term memory
   • Semantic memory
   • Procedural memory
   • Episodic memory

10. Recalling the definition of a psychological term during an exam relies on which memory store?

    • Semantic memory
    • Working memory
    • Episodic memory
    • Sensory memory

11. According to Atkinson and Shiffrin, what is the duration of long-term memory?

    • Exactly 7 years
    • 0.5 seconds
    • Up to lifelong
    • 18 to 30 seconds

12. Brain damage affecting episodic memory often leaves which long-term memory intact?

    • Echoic memory
    • Semantic memory
    • Sensory memory
    • Working memory

13. Studying participant diary entries about personal life events mainly investigates which type of memory?

    • Procedural memory
    • Semantic memory
    • Sensory memory
    • Episodic memory

14. What is a major criticism of separating long-term memory strictly into episodic and semantic stores?

    • Capacity is limited
    • Duration is identical
    • Encoding is acoustic
    • Memories often overlap

15. Which memory store contains personal experiences tied to a specific time and place?

    • Semantic memory
    • Working memory
    • Procedural memory
    • Episodic memory

16. Recalling where and when you learned a specific fact shows interaction between episodic memory and which store?

    • Working memory
    • Semantic memory
    • Sensory memory
    • Procedural memory

17. What type of evidence demonstrates that episodic and semantic memory are distinct stores in clinical patients?

    • Schema distortion
    • Double dissociation
    • Serial position effect
    • Retroactive interference

18. Brain-damaged patient case studies support Tulving's distinction by providing evidence for what concept?

    • Separate memory stores
    • Acoustic encoding
    • Unlimited capacity
    • Reconstructive recall

19. Which feature is uniquely attached to memories stored in episodic memory compared to semantic memory?

    • Semantic meaning
    • Time and place
    • Acoustic cues
    • Motor skills

20. Which brain structure is primarily associated with the encoding of episodic long-term memories?

    • Prefrontal cortex
    • Medulla oblongata
    • Motor strip
    • Visual cortex
