1[blank_start]Forgetting[blank_end] is an inability to retrieve information due to poor encoding, storage, or retrieval.
- AForgetting
2Forgetting because you never learned it in the first place is an:
- AEncoding failure
- BStorage failure
- CRetrieval failure
3Forgetting due to a biological problem, such as head trauma or Alzheimer's, is known as a:
- AEncoding failure
- BStorage failure
- CRetrieval failure
4Forgetting because although the info was encoded and stored, you cannot get it out of your brain, is known as a:
- AEncoding failure
- BStorage failure
- CRetrieval failure
5________ is a retrieval failure phenomenon where you cannot recall what you are trying to say, but it feels as though it is right there.
- ADeja vu
- BTip-of-the-tongue
6This theory of forgetting states that forgetting occurs with the passage of time, a gradual fading of the memory trace. Involved storage decay.
- ADecay theory
- BInterference theory
- CMotivation theory
7When Bahrick studied the retaining of Spanish learned in school over the course of 50 years, what did he find?
- ARetention drops continuously.
- BRetention drops, then levels off.
- CRetention drops, then levels off, with an occasional spike in remembrance.
8This theory states that learning similar items may disrupt retrieval of other information.
- ADecay Theory
- BTheory of Interference
- CMotivation Theory
9__________ Interference has a disruptive effect of prior learning on recall of new information, such as trying to learn your new postal code. With this type of interference, old information affects/blocks new information.
- AProactive (forward-acting) Interference
- BRetroactive (backwards-acting) Interference
10This type of interference has a disruptive effect of new learning on recall of old information, such as trying to remember the first Harry Potter book, but only being able to remember the last book's information. With this type of interference, new information affects old information.
- AProactive (forward-acting) Interference
- BRetroactive (backwards-acting) Interference
11To minimize interference:
- AAvoid sequential study of similar material
- BSleep on it
12People unknowingly revising their memories is also known as:
- AMotivated Forgetting
- BRepression
13The defence mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness is known as:
- AMotivated Forgetting
- BRepression
14_____ believed that memories are hidden, not forgotten.
- AFreud
- BLoftus
15Memory Construction: We sometimes filter information and fill in missing pieces, constructing or fabricating our memories as we encode them ([blank_start]construction[blank_end]), or alter as we retrieve them ([blank_start]reconstruction[blank_end]). Thus, our memories are subject to [blank_start]distortions[blank_end] or errors.
- Aconstruction
- Breconstruction
- Cdistortions
16One of the factors that contribute to memory distortion is ________, which is when we imagine events and we often believe we actually have experienced them.
- AImagination
- BSource Amnesia
- CMisinformation
17One of the factors that contribute to memory distortion is ______, which is the attributing to the wrong source an event that we experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined. Ex: Plagiarism.
- AImagination
- BSource Amnesia (Misattribution)
- CMisinformation
18One of the factors that contributes to memory distortion is _______, which is incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event, such as eye-witness memory vs. testimony.
- AImagination
- BSource Amnesia
- CMisinformation
19There is no specific memory area in the brain; instead there are specific networks.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
20The _______ is the neural center in the limbic system that helps PROCESS explicit memories for storage elsewhere. It is the temporary storage location for long-term memories.
- AAmygdala
- BHippocampus
- CFrontal cortex
- DAdrenal gland
21This condition is when you can't form new memories, but can remember everything that happened before whatever caused this.
- AChunking
- BAnterograde Amnesia
22With Anterograde Amnesia, you are unable to make [blank_start]declarative[blank_end] (explicit) memories, but can form new memories that are [blank_start]procedural[blank_end] (implicit). Think of the Tower of Hanoi.
- Adeclarative
- Bprocedural
23This area of the brain is the processing area for implicit memories.
- AHippocampus
- BAmygdala
- CCerebellum
- DStriatum
24This area of the brain plays a key role in the storage of implicit memories.
- ACerebellum
- BStriatum
- CAmygdala
- DHippocampus
25This part of the brain stores emotional memories, and becomes active during the encoding of emotional events. It also initiates storage in other brain areas.
- ACerebellum
- BStriatum
- CAmygdala
- DTemporal Cortex
26This part of the brain is the storage area for old memories and skills.
- ACerebellum
- BStriatum
- CHippocampus
- DTemporal and Prefrontal Cortex Areas
27This cortex is also important in working memory and acquiring new info.
- ATemporal
- BPrefrontal
28Long-term [blank_start]Potentiation[blank_end] refers to the repeated stimulation of certain neurons and how it increases the likelihood that the neurons will respond strongly to future stimulation of a similar kind.
- APotentiation
29Long-term Potentiation is important for:
- ATransferring info from Sensory memory to working memory
- BTransferring info from Working memory to Long-term memory
30This neurotransmitter is key in the formation of memories, and LTP tends to occur at synapses where this neurotransmitter is released.
- AGlutamate
- BAcetylcholine
- CSerotonin
31This neurotransmitter plays a role in separating the encoding of new memories and the retrieval of old memories. It is also important in the consolidation of LTM, particularly with explicit memories.
- AGlutatmate
- BAcetylcholine
- CSerotonin
32This neurotransmitter is released when memories are forming, it prolongs action potential. Memory is impaired when drinking because alcohol decreases this neurotransmitter.
- AGlutamate
- BAcetylcholine
- CSerotonin
