‘MS’ had normal recognition & cued recall performance, but impaired on repetition priming, what is this evidence of?
Evidence for double-dissociation between explicit (declarative) memory and implicit priming processes
27 of 34
Recent research by Verfaellie and colleagues found that...
Amnesics normal when priming involves associations within-
domain, but impaired if associations between-domain

Consolidation theory refers to processes which fix information in LTM across
hours or days
29 of 34
Consolidation theory predicts that new memories are fragile and more easily disrupted than older memories
This prediction is supported by the shape of typical forgetting curves

This is called a temporal gradient in retrograde amnesia
