WACE Psychology — Unit 3

Memory Systems — Flashcards & Quiz

Memory is not a single system but a set of related stores and processes. WACE Psychology Year 12 Unit 3 distinguishes sensory, short-term and long-term memory, and further divides long-term into explicit (episodic, semantic) and implicit (procedural). Classic studies like HM's case illuminate how different systems depend on different brain regions.
