When you are trying to access something in long-term memory, you use a

Which of the following observations is most likely an illustration of context-dependent learning?

Because of the effects of context-dependent learning, students might find it wise to

Participants are asked to memorize a list of words. In addition to the words themselves, participants will remember some aspects of the context in which the words appeared. This tendency to remember a stimulus within its context is referred to as

"Context reinstatement" refers to

If a memory is like a city you want to travel to and the retrieval paths you use to find the memory are like highways that lead to that city, which is the best strategy for memorizing?

Establishing a memory connection

A researcher hypothesizes that high doses of caffeine can produce context-dependent learning. To confirm this hypothesis, the researcher would need to show that

In an experiment, participants learned materials in Room A and were tested in Room. If they were asked to think about Room A just before taking the test, participants

Evidence for context-dependent learning has been found in all of the following situations EXCEPT

Context has an effect on memory

A participant is asked, "In the list of words I showed you earlier, was there a word that rhymed with 'lake'?" The participant is likely to be well prepared for this sort of memory test if he or she

Which of the following statements seems to be the best illustration of encoding specificity?

Theories of spreading activation assume that activating one node will lead to

What is the level at which a node in a spreading activation model will fire?

Spreading activation models behave much like which biological system?

Two groups of participants were asked to learn a series of word pairs and were then given a memory test. Both groups were told to remember the second word in each pair and use the first word as an aid to remember the targets. For Group A, the first word was semantically associated with the target word (e.g., dark-light). For Group B, the first word rhymed with the target word (e.g., sight-light). Each group was given hints during the memory test. These hints could be related to meaning (e.g., "Was there a word associated with 'dark'?") or sound (e.g., "Was there a word associated with 'sight'?"). Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Participants are asked to memorize a list of words. The eighth word on the list is "inches," the ninth word is "meters," and the tenth word is "feet." In which of the following situations would the participants be most likely to remember the previous exposure to "feet"?

A participant is asked to memorize a series of word pairs, including the pair "heavy-light." The participant is asked later if any of the following words had been included in the list memorized earlier: "lamp," "candle," "spark," and "light." The participant denies having seen any of these words recently. This is probably because

Steve is shown a list of words, which includes "baby." He is then asked to list all the words he can remember from the list, but he does not include "baby." Steve is later asked to identify words and nonwords, and "baby" is presented along with other items. Which of the following patterns is most likely to reflect Steve's performance on this identification task?

An investigator asks, "Can you remember what happened last Tuesday at noon while you were sitting in the back room of Jane's Restaurant?" This is an example of a question relying on

Familiarity (as opposed to source memory)

The fMRI results using a "remember/know" testing procedure suggest that

In the "remember/know" paradigm, "know" responses are NOT

In the brain, familiarity is associated with activity of the ________, while recall is associated with activity of the ________.

When a person experiences familiarity but no accompanying source memory, the effect can be far-reaching but is unlikely to include

Which of the following tasks is LEAST appropriate as a means of testing implicit memory?

Group 1 is shown a series of words ("down," "right," and "sad") and is then asked to read the words aloud. Group 2 is shown a series of words ("up," "left," and "happy") and is then asked to say aloud their antonyms (opposites). If we later test participants' memories for the words, we will expect better performance for Group 1 if the test involves

Abigail saw the stimulus "all________" and was asked to think of a word that began with these letters. This task is called

Which of the following statements is NOT likely to be an influence of implicit memory?

Which of the following statements is FALSE for explicit memory?

Like patients with Korsakoff 's syndrome, H.M. has difficulty with

In a lexical decision task, a researcher finds no effect of priming. Which of the following statements is a plausible explanation for this?

Which of the following is most like an example of the influence of implicit memory?

Because of the influence of implicit memory, participants judge

Participants listen to a series of sentences played against a background of noise. Some of the sentences are identical to sentences heard earlier (without the noise), but other sentences heard in the noise are new. In this setting, participants will perceive

Cindy and Linda are both eyewitnesses to a bank robbery. At the police station, they each select Mike from a police lineup and say, "He's the thief!" It turns out, though, that Mike has been a customer at the store at which Cindy works while Linda has never before seen Mike. With this background

If you perceive a stimulus and then later perceive the same stimulus again, you are likely to perceive the stimulus more quickly and more easily the second time. This benefit can be described as a(n)

Participants are asked to read a series of unrelated words out loud. According to the implicit memory hypothesis described in the text, this experience will help the participants

A friend of yours has recently grown a beard. When you encounter him, you realize at once that something about his face has changed but you are not certain what has changed. We can conclude from this that

What would be the most accurate way to describe familiarity?

Theodore has suffered from Korsakoff's amnesia for the last decade. Theodore is LEAST likely to do which of the following actions?

H.M. had much of his hippocampus removed to alleviate seizures. An unfortunate side effect was impaired explicit memory, even though later testing revealed his implicit memory was spared. In order to establish a double dissociation, which of the following patients would need to be found?

Double dissociations in memory are important because they

Amnesia can provide insight into the role of memory in our everyday lives. For example, if H.M. was having a conversation with a friend and noticed the friend looking off in the distance and smiling, he was most likely to
