Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A schema is an organized knowledge structure that contains clusters of related information. Schemas help individuals organize information and make predictions about future events. Flashbulb memory refers to a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard. Elaborative memory involves the association of new information with existing knowledge and skills. Implicit memory refers to memories that are not consciously aware but can influence behavior or cognitive processing.
