1. Now listen to part of a
1. Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a psychology class.
2. Ok, uh... the first kind of memory, we're all very familiar with this, right?
3. You probably remember what you had for dinner last night - you have a Conscious Memory of last night's dinner.
4. So, um, if I ask you 'what did you eat last night?' you could tell me.
5. But these other kind of memories - 'implicit Memories', they work differently.
6. Let's take an example from the world of advertising.
7. When you're driving along a highway, you'll see plenty of billboards - you know, road-side advertisements.
8. You certainly don't remember them all.
9. But they still affect you.
10. Marketing researchers have shown, well, to be specific, let's say there's a billboard on the highway advertising a ... car, called the 'Panther'.
11. The ad shows a big picture of a car and above the car in huge letters is the name of the car- 'Panther'.
12. A lot of people drive by the billboard.
13. But ask those drivers later if they saw any advertisements for cars, and well, they'll think about it and a lot of them will say 'no'.
14. They honestly don't remember seeing any.
15. They have no conscious memory of the 'Panther' billboard.
16. So, you ask the same people a different question.
17. You ask, um...ok, um...you ask them to name an animal starting with the letter 'p'.
18. What do you think they'll answer?
19. Do they say 'pig'?
20. 'Pig' is the most common animal that starts with the letter 'p', but they don't say 'pig'.
21. They say 'Panther'.
22. The billboard had an effect even though the drivers don't remember ever seeing it.
A sample Answer to this speaking in text:
In the lecture, the professor mainly talks about implicit memory which is that sometimes we can remember things without even realizing it. For example, when people see a car ad on the billboard, they can unconsciously remember details in the ad. Say the car in the ad is called panther, people can’t remember that they’ve seen a car ad on the highway, or anything has to do with panther. But interestingly, when they are asked to name an animal whose name starts with a “p”, they’ll say “panther” instead of “pig” which is more commonly known. The billboard had an effect even though the drivers aren’t aware of it.
