- LTM > implicit > semantic > episodic
- LTM > implicit > procedural > episodic
- STM > explicit > declarative > episodic
9. The Miller and Seler (1994) study showed that:
- Neither younger nor older children were able to selectively attend to relevant stimuli
- Older children were able to selectively attend to relevant stimuli, younger children did not
- Both older and younger children were equally able to selectively attend to relevant stimuli
- Younger children were able to selectively attend to relevant stimuli, older children were not
10. Which of the following are methodologies used in cognitive studies

17. According to Rose (1983), how long do 6m and 12m old infants need for familiarisation?
- 20-30s, 10-15s respectively

- All types of attention increase with age
- Casual attention increases with age, fixed and settled attention decrease with age
- Casual attention decreases with age, fixed and settled attention increase with age
- Casual and settled attention increase with age, fixed attention decreases with age
19. Pressler and Carey (2004) showed that:
- Children were often confused about the functional relevance of some cultural tools
