The term that refers to the memory for events and facts tied to one's own life story is:

• Semantic memory

• Procedural memory

• Autobiographical memory

• Sensory memory

Autobiographical memory is:

• Memory for generic knowledge of the world

• Memory for how to perform specific tasks

• Memory for events related to one's personal life

• Memory that forms during REM sleep

While writing her college essay, Mia recalls her first science fair project and the award she won. This type of memory is best classified as:

• Autobiographical memory

• Semantic memory

• Structural recall

• Phonemic rehearsal

In a study, people asked to write about their childhood memories retrieved more information about specific life events than those who were simply asked to recall facts. This supports the concept of:

• Mnemonic enhancement

• Procedural storage

• Autobiographical memory

• Declarative reinforcement

A person vividly remembers their high school graduation, the speech they gave, and the feeling of walking across the stage. This is an example of:

• Semantic memory

• Autobiographical memory

• Phonological loop

• Sensory encoding

Anterograde amnesia refers to:

• The ability to recall past memories but not form new ones

• Forgetting one's name and identity

• The inability to recall details before a trauma

• A memory problem related to retrieval cues

Which condition results in the inability to form new long-term memories after brain damage?

• Retrograde amnesia

• Anterograde amnesia

• Alzheimer's disease

• Dissociative identity disorder

After an accident, Ben is unable to form new memories but can remember everything from before the crash. He most likely has:

• Retrograde amnesia

• Autobiographical memory syndrome

• Anterograde amnesia

• Working memory deficit

A study examined individuals with hippocampal damage who could not learn new names or addresses. This supports findings associated with:

• Procedural memory

• Retrograde amnesia

• Anterograde amnesia

• Serial recall interference

A neurologist diagnoses a patient who can remember childhood events clearly but cannot recall what he had for breakfast or what happened yesterday. The most accurate diagnosis is:

• Retrograde amnesia

• Anterograde amnesia

• Maintenance encoding failure

• Mnemonic interference
