Answer to Question 1
Answer: Blocking occurs when multiple associations are associated with a cue and one of those associations is stronger than the others, preventing retrieval of the target information. In a sense, blocking is an instance of cue overload. It can be eliminated by using a different cue. Suppression is the active weakening of a memory that occurs because the act of retrieval is competitive. Retrieving information strengthens its representation and suppresses competing associations. Providing a different cue does not eliminate suppression.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: Long-term memory consists of information acquired through experience and persists so that it can be retrieved at a later time. Long-term memory can be divided into declarative (explicit) and nondeclarative (implicit) memory. Declarative memory is memory for facts and events. Facts are stored in semantic memory and events are stored in episodic memory. Nondeclarative memory is that which is not consciously recalled but is used to aid performance. Priming, skills and habits, emotional responses, learned musculature responses, and habituation and sensitization are examples of nondeclarative memory.
