AQA A Level Psychology: Memory Exam Questions and Answers The ability to recall events from our lives - 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. - ANSWER-What is The Multistore Model Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) - ANSWER-Who...

aerobic respiration - ANSWERan exothermic reaction in which glucose is broken down using oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water and release energy for the cells anaerobic respiration - ANSWERan exothermic reaction in which glucose is broken down in the absence of oxygen to produce lactic acid in animals and ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants and yeast. A small amount of energy is transferred for the cells exothermic reaction - ANSWERa reaction that transfers energy to the environment...

What is the central nervous system (CNS) - ANSWER-The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord, the brain is the centre of all conscious awareness and it is the outer layer, the cerebral cortex, which distinguishes us from animals. The spinal cord is an extension o the brain and is responsible for our reflexes and movements. The spinal cords main function is to relay information from the brain to the rest of the body. The brain is made up of four main areas, the brain stem, the diencephalon...
