They do, however, point people in the correct  \ndirection. Use these questions to see where the concepts above “fit.” Also, use the questions listed as a guide in your reading.  \n1. What is “memory,” and how do psychologists describe it?  \n2. What are the similarities and the differences between explicit and implicit memories?  \n3. What kind of information is processed automatically?  \n4. How do memory systems (sensory, short-term, working, and long-term) work?  \n5. How are effortful processing strategies applied in order to help improve memory?  \n6. What are the different levels of processing, and how do they affect encoding?  \n7. What are the different parts of the brain and the nervous system that affect memory, and, just as importantly, what roles do they play in memory?  \n8. How do emotions, external cues, and order of appearance influence memory?  \n9. How is memory measured?  \n10. Why do people forget?  \n11. How do misinformation, imagination, and source amnesia influence memory?  \n12. How can we know whether a memory is real or is false?  \n13. How can eyewitness memories be manipulated?  \n14. What is the controversy regarding repressed and recovered memories?  \n15. How does one define cognition?  \nUnit Seven Essential Questions--Continued  \n16. What is the function of concepts?  \n17. How does creativity work, and how can it be encouraged?  \n18. How do heuristics, overconfidence, belief perseverance, and framing influence decision making and problem solving?  \n19. What is intuition, and how does it work?  \n20. What are the components of language?  \n21. How do people acquire language?  \n22. What are the important milestones in language development?  \n23.
