Discuss the three types of long-term memories, and give an example of each from your everyday life.
What will be an ideal response?
Student examples will vary. A sample answer follows.
The three types of long-term memories are episodic, semantic, and procedural. When I think about what it was like to ride a bike without training wheels for the first time, I am using episodic memory. In other words, it is a memory from my daily experiences (either recent or long ago). When I am out for a bike ride and need to remember what different road signs mean, I am using semantic memory. That means I am recalling some general knowledge, but I do not remember when I learned it or where I was at the time. Finally, the act of riding my bike is a procedural memory. That means it is a skill I have learned that I do not have to consciously retrieve.
