Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Remembering how to get to a new friend's house involves putting information into memory in a form that the memory system can accept and use. Encoding can be visual, acoustic, or semantic. Rose may not have encoded the information about where her new friend lives. Storage means maintaining the information in the system over time. Procedural, semantic, and episodic memories can be stored for a long time. Given that the physical structures involved in memory are normal and the information has been encoded properly, failure to remember should not be due to a storage problem. Retrieval involves recalling information stored in memory and bringing it into consciousness. People often search memories looking for information. Rose may be unable to retrieve the information about where her friend lives because she did not make meaningful associations when she learned the information, the cues she needs may be missing, or she may be experiencing problems with decay or interference.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Below is a sample response:
I learned how to play the guitar from a friend when I was in high school. I can remember the first lesson in Jeff's basement. Jeff was always burning incense, so there was a distinctive smell. And after listening to a few songs, Jeff tried to teach me how to play Louie Louie. These memories are all episodic. I also encoded semantic memories like what a fret is, and what flats and sharps are. My procedural memories include how to position my fingers to play a moving bar chord and how to strike a single string without touching nearby strings.
