The answer is C... do you have any harder questions?
Those with schizophrenia might suffer from deficits in long-term memory (the ability to learn and retrieve new information or experiences in one's life) as well as short-term memory (the ability to maintain information over a short period of time).
While the definition of short-term memory is self-explanatory, the definition between parentheses: "the ability to learn and retrieve new information or experiences in one's life" seems to refer to 2 different types of long-term memory.
- "the ability to ... retrieve ... information ... in one's life" refers to semantic memory if it concerns only <u>ideas and concepts which were not created by personal experience</u>. This includes elements of common knowledge that people learn at school, for example.
- "the ability to ... retrieve ... experiences in one's life" refers to episodic memory if we are talking the ability to retain and conjure <u>autobiographical memories</u>. In other words, it has to do with being able to recall places, emotions, and circumstances surrounding events which happened to us. For example, many people have enduring episodic memories of their wedding day.
If you are referring to the time after USA declared independence Europe was in a mess as war was raging on in Europe most commonly known as the "Napoleonic Wars".
Hope that helped! :)
