What is the correct ordering of the processes of memory?

Psychologists distinguish between three necessary stages in the learning and memory process: encoding, storage, and retrieval (Melton, 1963). Encoding is defined as the initial learning of information; storage refers to maintaining information over time; retrieval is the ability to access information when you need it.

Which type of memory is most impaired by damage to the hippocampus?

In all five experiments, patients with hippocampal damage exhibited impaired recognition memory.

When remembering old information is disrupted by new information this is called?

Retroactive interference (retro=backward) occurs when you forget a previously learnt task due to the learning of a new task. In other words, later learning interferes with earlier learning – where new memories disrupt old memories. (Starting French may affect our memory of previously learned Spanish vocabulary).

Which theory of forgetting suggests that forgetting is the result of a failure to access stored memories?

Trace decay theory

Can babies remember being in the womb?

There is some evidence that fetal memory may begin within the second trimester after conception. Substantial evidence for fetal memories has been found at around 30 weeks after conception. Fetal memory is thus critical to the survival of the fetus both prenatally (in the womb) and after birth as an infant.
