You are travelling to America on a gap year and sit in seat 42F. You are sitting next to a man named Dave. Dave has a 9 month old baby on his lap, who is screaming. You are becoming increasingly frustrated, as you cannot sleep with the noise.
A semantic component of the memory is__ and an episodic component is __
The screaming baby, his name is Dave
You are sitting at 42F; your frustration at the baby crying
Your frustration at the baby crying; you are sitting at 42F
The noise; the baby belongs to Dave
An essential difference between semantic and episodic memories is that
Semantic memories are the same for everyone; episodic are personal experiences
Semantic memories are personal experiences; episodic are the same for everyone
You can verbalise a semantic memory but it is harder to put an episodic memory into words

None
The most sensitive measure of retention is
Serial recall
Cued recall
Recognition
Relearning
When we combine stored information with new information (eg, what we saw with the information that another person said they saw), this is referred to as:
Recall
Recognition
Relearning
Reconstruction
The fact that there is approximately 70% average for the MC of the exam and less than 50% for the SA section is evidence that
Recall is a more sensitive measure of retention than recognition
Relearning is the most sensitive measure of retention
The reconstructive nature of memory
Recognition is a more sensitive measure of retention that recall
