It is 10:15 a. m. on a mid-semester Wednesday. Three sections of introductory psychology are meeting on the second floor of Old Main. In Room 201, Ms. Romero is describing implicit memory. Across the hall in 204, Dr. Darby's class is considering the differences between sensory and short-term memory. Finally, in Old Main 209, Dr. Eastwood is writing the terms 'encoding,' 'storage,' and 'retrieval' on the whiteboard. Ms. Romero is discussing memory . Dr. Darby's class is examining memory . Dr. Eastwood is describing memory .

This question lacks options, options are: a. processes; types; stages b. stages; processes; types c stages; types; processes d. types; processes; stages The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Ms. Romero is discussing memory types. Human beings have two main types of memory, known as explicit or declarative memory and implicit or procedural memory. Implicit memory is a type of long-term memory that does not require the intentional retrieval of previously acquired experience. It allows us to express previously acquired knowledge even if we do not remember or cannot make explicit reference to the learning process. Declarative or explicit memory stores information about people, places and events that are located in consciousness. Dr. Darby's class is examining memory processes. In short-term memory, a fraction of the information passes from the sensory store to this new structure called the short-term store or short-term memory, where it is evaluated if the information is relevant and if it is worth sending it to the more permanent store ( long-term warehouse). Therefore, its processes are the retention, processing and consolidation of information. This type of memory, depending on the modal model, has a limited capacity since it can only store up to 7 units of information (letters, words, numbers, etc.) and its duration is limited. The information is structured through various coding processes that can be verbal, visual, semantic, etc. Dr. Eastwood is describing memory stages. Memory depends on three stages that include storage, encoding, and retrieval. The storage stage, also known as acquisition, requires the intervention of mechanisms such as attention, concentration or the perception of the senses. And it corresponds to the moment when the information is received from abroad. The second is the retention or encoding phase, in which informational material is stored in the brain. In the process, among others, repetition, visualization, association, ordering or grouping, previous knowledge or memory rules act. Third, there is the recovery or evocation phase. Elements that belong to previous records are rescued in it. The phase sets in motion the spatial and temporal references, clues and context.
