3Automatic Processing - Unconscious encoding of incidental information about: [blank_start]Space[blank_end], ex: putting your keys somewhere and remembering it later, remembering pictures on a page but not the answer to an essay question. [blank_start]Time[blank_end], ex: remembering the events of the day. [blank_start]Frequency[blank_end], ex: Effortlessly keeping track of things you do, such as how many times you need to eat in a day. Also things like word meanings and reading backwards.

4When encoding information, we do so by meaning, which is [blank_start]semantic[blank_end] encoding, imagery, which is [blank_start]visual[blank_end] encoding, or by organizing into [blank_start]chunks[blank_end] or hierarchies.
- Asemantic
- Bvisual
- Cchunks
5Encoding lies on a continuum from shallow to deep, and the depth of the initial processing determines how well it's later remembered.

- CVisual
7The intermediate level of encoding is encoding based on sound and is known as:

- AMore
- BFewer
15For Time Spent Learning, Ebbinghaus found that the amount remembered depends on the time spent learning, "practice makes perfect", and that even after we learn material, additional rehearsal _______ retention.
- AIncreases
- BDecreases
16For the Spacing Effect, Ebbinghaus found that we retain information better when our rehearsal is _________ over time

- BEchoic Memory
22Sensory information is stored for just an [blank_start]instant[blank_end], and is relatively [blank_start]unprocessed[blank_end]. Our brain must quickly decide what information will be processed enough to remain in short term memory and what information will be [blank_start]discarded[blank_end].

26Working memory is a short-term memory store for information you are thinking about right [blank_start]NOW[blank_end]. It contains information we are [blank_start]actively[blank_end] using, and the [blank_start]processing[blank_end] of briefly stored information.
- ANOW
- Bactively
- Cprocessing
27The short-term memory is the activated memory that holds a few items briefly for ~ [blank_start]30[blank_end] seconds, maximum [blank_start]2[blank_end] minutes.

- CRetrieval cues
52This memory strategy involves using the bits of related information that we encode while processing the target info.

53This retrieval cue is when you activate the associations with words, events, contexts, moods, emotions that were experienced while processing target info.
- APriming
- BChunking

55_______ states that we can remember things better where we first learned them.
- APriming
- BThe context effect
