the events that happened to her the day before. This is characterized in the movie as short term
memory loss. Is the writer of this script using the term short-term memory accurately? -
answer✔✔No

long term. What does this tell us?
This pattern reveals an important distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory.

This pattern reveals an important distinction between explicit memory and implicit memory.
This pattern reveals an important distinction between focused attention and divided attention. -
answer✔✔This pattern reveals an important distinction between explicit memory and implicit
memory.
What does the memory literature tell us about maintenance versus elaborative rehearsal?
Elaborative rehearsal reliably boosts long-term memory, maintenance rehearsal does not.
Maintenance rehearsal reliably boosts long-term memory, elaborative rehearsal does not.
Both forms of rehearsal produce significant, reliable increases in long-term memory.

considerably more effective. - answer✔✔Elaborative rehearsal reliably boosts long-term
