When you encode information into memory using its personal meaning, which of the following are you using? A. Visual Encoding B. Acoustic encoding C. Semantic Encoding D. Information Processing E. C and D

If, in trying to memorize and alphabetical list of Russian States, you can remember the last two states on the list better than the middle two states on the list, you have experienced the ______ effect A. Serial-position B. Primacy C. Recency D. A and C E. B and C

Which of the following is true of sensory memory? A. It requires conscious awareness B. It exists in the hippocampus C. It can be studied in the lab D. It exists in one system E. It can be directly accessed

Which of the following is true of short term memory? A. It stores spoken words and visual and spatial images B. It seems to be dominated by visual encoding C. It has an unlimited capacity D. It does not retrieve information from long term memory E. A and D

When I remember my first day of college, I rely on _____ memory

Which of the following is true? A. School educated children have better memories than those with schooling B. All sorted memories are stored in semantic networks C. Bransford and Johnson's research suggests that it is crucial to have the right schema during the encoding stage D. Cultural utility does not play a role in how schemas develop E. Parallel distributed processing models believe information in memory is located in a specific part of the brain.

What does the research on recognition and recall of high school classmates suggest? A. We are better at remembering faces than names B. That recognition is more difficult than recall C. That recall is more difficult than recognition D. A and B E. A and C

It I don't like my professor because he unconsciously reminds me of a high school teacher I disliked, I am using this type of memory.

Which of the following is true of the tip-of-the tongue phenomenon? A. It is another demonstration of how recognition is easier than recall B. It increases in frequency with age C. It appears to occur in all cultures and age groups D. It has to do with explicit memory E. All of the above

Which is true? A. Implicit memories cannot be activated B. Cryptomnesia is a type of tip-of-the tongue phenomenon C. Memory illusions are believed to be a direct result of implicit memory D. When in a negative mood, we tend to recall positive memories E. According to the encoding specificity principle, there is little problem in believing a claim by and adult that he or she has just remembered being sexually abused as a child.

Which of the following statements is true of forgetting? A. The greatest amount of forgetting occurs in the first few hours after learning B. Research indicates that decay significantly influences forgetting in long term memory. C. Jenkins and Dallenbach's research indicates that decay causes greater memory loss than interference D. Proactive interference involves forgetting based on newly learned information E. A and D

Which of the following brain regions are involved in memory information and storage? A. Cerebral cortex and amygdala B. Striatum and neocortex C. Long term memory, short term memory, and sensory memory systems D. All of the above E. A and B

What is the best way to spend four hours studying

This model is a rough analogy for human information processing

This stage of memory transfers information into a form that can be remembered, and stored in memory

This state of memory organizes and maintains information for a length of time

This stage of memory recovers stored information from memory so it can be used

This type of memory stores information just long enough for us to select items for attention

This type of memory actively stores about 7 (+-2) bits of information

This type of memory has immense information capacity and durability

This technique can help keep items in short term memory longer

Some information is encoded into long term memory automatically, however, most encoding requires

The dominant encoding process for long term memory is

This type of memory requires conscious recollection

What are the two major types of explicit long term memory?

This type of memory involves unconsciously storing and recalling information

In this model, information is organized in long term memory as a vast network of interrelated concepts

These help us remember and organize details, reduce processing time, and fill in knowledge gaps

This model contends that memory is a large network of interconnected neurons that work simultaneously on different memory tasks

The process of recalling information requires 2 things

This process only requires making a decision about whether or not the information has been encountered before

A stimulus that helps us recall information from memory

According to this principal, retrieving information from long term memory is most likely when the conditions at retrieval closely match the conditions present during original learning.

Deja vu and Cryptomnesia are memory illusions cause by

Information stored in long term memory can influence this:

The way people are questioned can cause

Most forgetting occurs in the first ___(TIME)___ after learning

It is much easier to _____________ ______________ information than to ______________ ______________ information

What are the two types of forgetting?

Therapeutic techniques or childhood memories can cause ________________ _______________

This looks to be the key to memory

There is __________ _______________ location associated with certain memories, but certain types can be stored in ______________ ______________ ________________

The increased memory for the first bits of new information in a string

The increased memory for the last bits of new information in a string

The act of organizing items of information into a meaningful unit

This involves thinking about how new information relates to old

Memory for general knowledge about the world that is not associated with the time and place the info was learned

Memory of previous experiences without conscious recollection

A method of activating implicit memories

Memory of how to perform a skill and are usually carries out automatically

A memory illusion in which people think that their work is unique

The inability to remember events occurring during the early part of life

Detailed and vivid memories of distressing events

Forgetting due to interference due to newly learned information

Forgetting due to previously learned information

The long-lasting strengthening of synaptic transmission along a specific neural circuit

The inability to form long-term memories due to injury

The loss of information previously stored in memory due to injury
