The ability to recall events from our lives - Correct answer-What is the Episodic
Memory?
A visual representation of memory. It is a structural model in which STM and LTM
are unitary stores.
Information flows in a linear fashion through each store.
Each store has a different capacity, information is held for a different duration, and
information coding differs. - Correct answer-What is The Multistore Model
