The former refers to …, whereas the latter refers to … . Select one: a. autobiographical; explicit; memory for personal life events; memory for general knowledge b. semantic; implicit; memory for general knowledge; memory for personally meaningful events c. episodic; procedural; memory for personally meaningful events; passive memory retention d. prospective; semantic; future-orientated memory; memory for general knowledge Clear my choice Question 3 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statement regarding changes on implicit-explicit memory are true? Select one: a. Specific skills that are complex and require rapid responses show no significant age-related decline. b. Research on implicit memory indicates no to only slight age-related decline and findings on explicit memory show a significant age-related decline. c. Findings on explicit memory tend to be bias towards older people. d. A reason for the difference in age-related decline in these two systems may be that they are located in the same regions in the brain that are differently affected by ageing. Clear my choice Question 4 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Studies on the effect of the ageing process on the executive attentional skills of adults indicate that ... Select one: a. both younger and older adults’ executive attentional skills are affected when tasks are complex. b. younger adults’ executive attentional skills are less effective than that of older adults, suggesting a developmental process. c. no declines have been noted in older adults. d. older adults in particular are affected when tasks are novel and complex, and demand more than one attentional process.

Select one: a. the changes in intelligence were strongly related to age-related declines. b. the changes in intelligence did not only reflect the effect of age changes, but rather the combined effects of age, cohort and time of measurement. c. there was no evidence for the classic ageing curve and the classic ageing pattern. d. the classic ageing curve and the classic ageing pattern did not occur. Question 11 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statement regarding the rate of processing information and ageing are incorrect? Select one: a. Automatic responses are affected by age and are slower in older adults. b. There are major differences between younger and older adults’ reaction times for simple tasks because older adults have a slower reaction rate as they set more conservative response criteria. c. Neural activity from previous processing causes interference in response speed as we age. d. Older adults become slow as the complexity of the task increases.
