1Parker is able to retain the information that he learned in his college classes from one semester to the next. The main memory process that accounts for the fact that Parker can hold information in his memory for extended periods of time is:
- Astorage
- Bretrieval
- Cencoding
- Dlearning
2Walt is an artist who draws cartoon panels for motion pictures. Each panel shows a slight change in the position of the characters. When the individual panels are transferred to film and shown at the proper speed, the characters appear to move smoothly across the screen. The perception of movement results from the way in which:
- Aepisodic memory is encoded
- Brehearsal occurs in short-term memory
- Cflashbulb memories are formed
- Diconic memory works
3Frederica is taking an engineering test, and actively storing and working on a complex problem. This activity is occurring in:
- Ashort-term memory
- Bretroactive memory
- Clong-term memory
- Dprocedural memory
4Graham pulled into a gas station to ask directions to a local tourist attraction. The attendant sketched a quick map for Graham to use. Based on Baddeley’s model of working memory, when the attendant was creating the map she was most likely making use of:
- Athe visuospatial sketchpad
- Bher iconic memory
- Cthe phonological loop
- Dthe central executive
5Which of the following is FALSE of long-term memory?
- Aeverything we experience is stored in long-term memory
- Bit does not store information in a way that is conceptual to remember
- Cit has a relatively unlimited capacity
- Dinformation is stored in long-term memory for long periods of time
6To answer the question “Where did you park this morning?” in the late afternoon requires primarily:
- Aepisodic memory
- Bprocedural memory
- Csemantic memory
- Dshort-term memory
7Claude remembered his new computer password by noting that the first letter was the same as his middle initial, the second two letters matched the postal abbreviation for his home state, and the last two letters were the first two letters of his grandmother’s maiden name. When Claude creates connections of this type, he is utilizing an encoding technique that psychologists refer to as:
- Aelaboration
- Btransfer-appropriate processing
- Coverjustification
- Dthe serial position effect
8Alden has very vivid memories of his 16th birthday party, when all his friends got together and threw him a surprise party. Even though a number of years have passed, Alden feels as though he can still recall every detail of the party, right down to what everyone was wearing. Psychologists refer to vivid memories of this type as:
- Aflashbulb memory
- Bdéjà vu
- Cprocedural memory
- Dsemantic memory
9The emergency services personnel initially read about the procedures to be used in a large-scale disaster. To complete the learning process, they took part in a mock disaster and rescued and treated “victims” as they would in a real disaster. This approach is based on the principle of:
- Amnemonic techniques
- Bencoding-retrieval match
- Cinterference
- Dreconstructive remembering
10Misty and Elliot were reminiscing about their first date. Misty was convinced that they went out for Mexican food and then saw a Tom Cruise movie; Elliot was convinced that it was Chinese food, followed by an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. (In reality, they had hamburgers and then saw a movie starring Kevin Costner.) Based on what is known about memory errors, you should conclude that the different recollections that Misty and Elliot have of their first date illustrate:
- Amemory reconstruction
- Bimplicit memory readjustment
- Cinterference
- Dencoding-retrieval match
