Which of the following are characteristics of sensory memory? Echoic memory is auditory sensory memory. Iconic memory is visual sensory memory. It causes us to experience motion of objects in discrete, separate steps. It is available for 20 to 30 seconds. Each sense contributes to sensory memory. Senses are available as a brief memory trace.

Which of the following are characteristics of working memory? It has a limited memory span. It is an active processing system. Information is available for 20 to 30 seconds. Information is maintained through rehearsal. Contents are updated by retrieval, transformation, and substitution. Information is available for 2 to 3 seconds. It holds information from one source at a time.

flashbulb memory

memory bias

suggestibility

misattribution

source amnesia

cryptomnesia

How might false memories be constructed? A person may falsely remember that a word was part of a list, if it was related to words that were in the list. A person immediately rehearses information he learns. An imagined event will form a mental image that may be later recalled as a real event. A person may encode as true a story someone else tells about him. A person attends to details of an event

In which of the following ways can long-term memory be distorted? cryptomnesia source amnesia using mnemonics chunking information suggestibility recall of flashbulb memories reconstruction intentional rehearsal

What evidence supports the idea that different types of memory are located in different areas of the brain? H.M. could form new implicit memories after his surgery but not new explicit memories. A patient with deficiencies in explicit memory still performs well on declarative memory tests. British children with poor episodic memories due to brain damage had perfectly good semantic memories and normal IQs. People can have the ability to form good explicit memories even if they are unable to form episodic or semantic memories

Which memory tasks would H.M. and others with his type of memory deficit have trouble completing? tying his shoes recalling events prior to his surgery. repeating a conversation he'd had after his surgery performing motor tasks learned after his surgery remembering a new bus route recalling he had met someone recently

Which of the following statements about persistence are true? Persistence refers to any type memory that lasts. PTSD is an example of persistence. It may be associated with activation of the amygdala, leading to stronger memories. It can be reduced using extinction procedures.
