I will test your memory for these words in various ways.Memory TestExplicit test of memory: recallWrite down the words you remember from the list in the earlier slideImplicit tests of memoryOn the next slide, you will see some words missing letters, some “word fragments” and some anagrams. Guess what each word might be.Implicit Memory TasksWord-fragment completion is an implicit memory task.Fragments are (often) completed with words previously studied in the absence of an explicit instruction to remember the wordAmnesiacs often show spared implicit memory dissociation suggest d
