  13. 25. Restrictions that make it difficult to get to the goal state. These make it hard to solve a problem.

  4. 4. This type of memory refers to your organized knowledge about the world. This includes knowledge on words and other facts.
  5. 7. This means that a stimulus is different from other memory traces. An example is creating a distinctive encoding for a person’s name.
