Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

The "remember/know" paradigm is a method used in cognitive psychology to study the different processes involved in memory retrieval.

a. The primary task in this paradigm is to distinguish between two different types of memory retrieval: "remembering" and "knowing."

b. "Remembering" depends on the mnemonic process of recollection, where the individual is able to consciously recall specific details and contextual information about a past event or experience. On the other hand, "knowing" relies on a feeling of familiarity without the ability to recall specific details or context.

c. This paradigm tells us that memory is not a unitary process, but rather consists of different types of retrieval processes. It suggests that there are distinct mechanisms involved in conscious recollection and feelings of familiarity, indicating that memory is a complex and multifaceted cognitive function. Additionally, it highlights the importance of understanding the different processes involved in memory retrieval in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of human memory.

Compare and contrast implicit and explicit memory. Include in your discussion a description of the various testing methods that are used to assess each type of memory.
