Tell me how to put it together!" Kent demanded. "I can't." Alvin complained. "I know how to do it, but I can't just tell you or write it down. It just all comes together one step after another. "Alvin is attempting to explain: a. the importance of timing in semantic memory. b. the difference between declarative and procedural memory. c. the primacy and recency effect. d. the effect of aging on memory.
IS (B) CORRECT ANSWER?THANK YOU :)
I agree.
THANK YOU:)
You're welcome.
No, (B) is not the correct answer. The conversation between Kent and Alvin does not directly relate to the difference between declarative and procedural memory. Instead, they are discussing the process of putting something together, which suggests a procedural memory task.
The most appropriate answer would be option (C), the primacy and recency effect. The conversation implies that Alvin understands how to do the task, but he cannot easily communicate the steps. This relates to the primacy and recency effect, which suggests that we often remember the first and last items or steps in a sequence more easily than the middle ones. In this case, Alvin may be able to recall the initial and final steps of the task, but struggles with explaining the middle steps.
