While studying the different types of long-term memory, Mary finds it helps if she starts by thinking about how each kind of memory is defined. Which of the following would be the best way for her to think about the definition of procedural memory?1. motor skills and habbits2. facts and general knowledge3. associating two stimuli to produce a response4. personally experienced events

The correct answer is number 1. motor skills and habits.

Explanation:

Procedural memory is a long-term memory. It stores the knowledge on how to do things, also known as motor skills. That means certain procedures, such as talking, walking, and riding a bike can never be forgotten, since they are stored as procedural memories. Those procedures don't even require conscious thinking after they are learned - they can be accessed unconsciously. That is why most people do not know how to explain how they keep themselves balanced when riding a bike. They simply access that knowledge without thinking.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (8) eight.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
