1What is the capacity of the SMS?
- A5 to 9 items
- BVery large
2How is information encoded in the SMS?
- AHaving paid attention to incoming information it is encoded in the STM
- BInformation is taken in, in the form that it is received.
3What is the duration of the SMS?
- Aup to 30 seconds
- Bhalf a second
4How is information forgotten in the SMS?
- AInformation fades away after a fraction of a second
- BOnce the capacity is filled new information pushes existing information out
5How is information in the STM encoded?
- AInformation is stored in the form it is received
- Bverbal information is encoded semantically (according to meaning).
- CHaving paid attention to incoming information, it is encoded in the STM
6What is the capacity of the STM?
- AVery large
- B5 to 9 items
- CUnlimited
7What is the duration of the STM?
- AHalf a second
- BBetween 15-30 seconds
- CNo limit
8How is information in the STM forgotten?
- AInformation decays (fade away) after a fraction of a second
- BOnce the capacity of STM is exceeded, any new information coming in displaces (pushes out) existing info.
9How is information in the LTM encoded?
- AInformation is encoded in the form it is received
- BVerbal information is semantically encoded (encoded according to meaning)
10What is the capacity of the LTM?
- A5 to 9 items
- B very large
11What is the duration of the LTM?
- AUpto 30 seconds
- BUnlimited
12How is information in the LTM forgotten?
- ARetrieval Failure or Interference
- BInformation decays (fades away)
13What is the evidence to support the Multi Store Model?
- APaulesu et al
- BMurdocks serial disposition curve
14What is retrograde amnesia?
- AAmnesia that affects the STM e.g. following a head injury patient may not be able to remember what happened to them prior to the accident
- BAmnesia that affects the LTM e.g. after brain damage, a patient may not be able to transfer new information into LTM
15What is Anterograde Amnesia?
- AAmnesia that affects the STM e.g. following a head injury, patient may not be able to remember what happened just prior to the accident.
- BAmnesia that affects the LTM e.g. after brain damage, a patient may not be able to transfer new information into LTM
16What is the central executive?
- AThis directs the activity of the other 2 separate units in the working memory model
- BThis hold the sound of speech
17What is the articulatory control process?
- AThis holds the sound of speech
- BWorks by rehearsing words e.g. when trying to remember a phone number for a few seconds.
It also holds the words we are waiting to speak aloud
18What is the phonological store?
- AThis holds the sound of speech
- BThis stores visual and spatial information
19What is the viso spatial sketchpad?
- AWorks by rehearsing words
- BThis stores visual and spatial information
20What is the study to support the working memory model?
- AMurdocks serial disposition curve
- BPaulesu et al
21What is episodic memory?
- AA type of long term memory that contains facts - general knowledge,meaning of words, rules knowledge about objects e.g. the capital of france is paris
- BA type of long term memory for events that includes information related to time and place
22What is semantic memory?
- AThis is a type of long term memory that contains memories of how to do things such as walking or riding a bike
- BThis is a type of long term memory that contains facts - general knowledge - meanings of words, rules, knowledge about objects e.g. paris is the capital of france
23What is procedural memory?
- AThis is a type of long term memory that contains memories of how to do thing, such as walking, riding a bike, swimming
- BThis is a type of long term memory for events that includes information related to time and place
24What is the evidence for ESP memories?
- APaulesu et al
- BTulving
25What is the visual level of processing?
- Aencoding based on what information means (deep processing)
- Bencoding based on what information looks like (shallow processing)
26What is acoustic levels of processing?
- AEncoding based on what information means (deep processing)
- BEncoding based on what information sounds like (moderate processing)
27What is acoustic levels of processing?
- AEncoding based on what information means (deep processing)
- BEncoding based on what information sounds like (moderate processing)
28What is the semantic level of processing?
- AEncoding based on what information looks like
- BEncoding based on what information means
29What is the evidence to support levels of processing?
- APaulesu et al
- BTulving
