ahh...was  that worth 3 marks then...coz 1 mark for naming...2 for explaining?

[sillysmile]

yes thats what i did too.... i wrote semantic

names are facts that dont change

episodic memory is of personal experiences...
EDIT;
to be honest semantic does seem right to me now.

[ynnaej19]

I wrote semantic as well...

FML if it's episodic.
I guess there's a case for either one, if you justify why?

[Hope]

I'd lol if they want declarative

[courtney4892]

was this Q all up worth 3 or 2 marks?

[bomb]

recalling childhood names would still be semantic wouldnt it. dont know how it is episodic when not reaclling a personal event. There actually stating a fact in the actual name

Look up the definitions in Grivas/Carter. It should make it more clear it's episodic.

Semantic is just general facts about the world, Episodic is things specific to you.

[emmmm]

it was episodic because the names of the grade six classmates was specific and personal to him.

[ks31]

I said declarative, and explained it could be episodic or semantic

[coolwhip]

i wrote semantic as i thought it was knowledge of people's names.

i love how there's actually no exact answer in psych.
best subject ever.

[Barny05]

The MC question about the elderly, yet HEALTHY lady who can't recall the details of her daughters speech. What was the answer?

[bomb]

Did it say healthy? Woops.
I put anterograde.

She wouldn't be motivated to forget the speech, age related decline doesn't stop you from forming new memories and I'm not sure what the other option was.

[Bing 101]

I think the options were anterograde amnesia, alzheimers, age related memory decline and motivated forgetting. I put age related memory decline but now I'm not so sure.

[extcar]

^ i did too, cos im pretty sure alzheimers is a form of brain damage or some thing like that cos i remember it under anterograde amnesia.
does anyone remember what q32 on MC was? i remember i struggled with it but i couldnt remember the question lol ...
