Question

multiple choice 1 point the research on the development of episodic and semantic memory discussed in the textbook which tested recall of the hiding of three different stuffed toys showed that: semantic memory seems to develop more slowly than episodic memory. episodic memory seems to develop more slowly than semantic memory. semantic memory, but not episodic memory, is present in young children. episodic memory, but not semantic memory, is present in young children.

Explanation:

In cognitive development, research on memory systems (episodic: memory of personal events; semantic: memory of facts/knowledge) shows that episodic memory development lags behind semantic memory in young children. The study with stuffed toy hiding recall (testing episodic - like recall) supports that episodic memory develops more slowly than semantic memory. Option A has the comparison reversed. Options C and D are incorrect as both types of memory are present in young children (with episodic developing slower, not absent).

Answer:

B. episodic memory seems to develop more slowly than semantic memory.
