1Research on the duration of iconic memory suggests that it is:
- About 2 seconds long.
- B5 to 9 seconds long.
- Cindefinite in length.
- Da fraction of a second long.
2The iconic store and echoic store are subsystems that are important parts of:
- Athe retrieval process.
- Bsensory memory.

4A friend asks you to make a phone call for them and tells you the phone number to call. As you find your phone, you silently repeat the number to yourself to remember it. This example best demonstrates the process of:

- Aprocedural
- Bechoic
- Cworking

7According to the three-stage model of memory, the primacy effect is due to the transfer of words into long-term memory, and the ______________ is due to short-term memory reflecting memory performance for a list of items.
- Arehearsal effect
- Brecency effect
- Cserial position effect
- Dmisinformation effect
8With regard to the serial position effect, the primacy effect refers to the superior recall of words presented at/in the ___________ of the list.
- Abeginning and end
- Bend
- Cmiddle
- Dbeginning
9Making a grocery list and taking notes for a class involve encoding that is initiated intentionally and requires conscious attention. These are both examples of ____________.
- Aeffortful processing
- Bautomatic processing
- Cmaintenance rehearsal
- Dstate-dependent memory
10According to the depth of processing model, semantic encoding involves the deep processing because it requires us to attend to the __________ the information being encoded.
- Aphonological sound of
- Bphysical form of
- Cphonological and physical details of
- Dmeaning of
11Shopping lists and appointment calendars are considered to fall into which category of memory enhancement strategies?
- Ageneral memory strategies
- Bformal mnemonic techniques
- Celaborative techniques
- Dexternal aids
12Paivio proposed that long-term memory information is stored in two forms:
- Averbal codes and visual codes.
- Bvisual images and acronyms
- Cmnemonics and semantic codes.
- D. hierarchies and chunks
13Betsy went to a restaurant last night with some other first year students from her dorm. Although Betsy had never been to this particular restaurant, she knew exactly how to be seated, order, eat, and pay the bill. In her long-term memory, Betsy had a(n) __________ for restaurants.
- Aschema
- Bhierarchy
- Cinnate knowledge
- Dmnemonic understanding
14Research with expert and novice chess players by Chase and Simon revealed that experts were able to accurately recall the placement of more chess pieces than novices after a 5-second glance when:
- Athe pieces were arranged meaningfully.
- Bthe experts were allowed to use maintenance rehearsal.
- Cthe experts were allowed to use elaborative rehearsal.
- Dthe pieces were arranged randomly.
15In the case of the amnesia patient H.M. presented in the text, it was found that his:
- Adeclarative memory and procedural memory were severely impaired.
- Bprocedural memory functioned normally but his declarative memory was severely impaired.
- Cepisodic memory functioned normally but his semantic memory and procedural memory were severely impaired.
- Dsemantic memory functioned normally but his episodic memory and procedural memory were severely impaired.
16The amnesia patient H.M. was able to correctly perform a mirror-tracing task, but he had no recollection of ever having learned it. This means that we would classify his memory for this task as:
- Aexplicit.
- Bdeclarative.
- Cimplicit.
- Dsemantic.
17Intentional processing that requires conscious attention is best defined as:
- ASensory processing.
- BEffortful processing.
- CImplicit memory.
- DAutomatic processing.
18After taking the college entrance exam, Sidney was very upset as she drove home. She felt she had done poorly on the exam. The fact that Sidney was able to drive the familiar route home and arrive safely, even though she was so preoccupied thinking about the exam is due to her __________ memory.
- Aimplicit.
- Bexplicit
- Csemantic
- Depisodic
19Veronica just saw a person in a green car labelled "student driver" run a red light and cause a serious accident. While waiting for the police to arrive, Veronica suddenly remembers that she was in a serious car accident when she was a young child. With respect to recalling the accident stored in her long-term memory, today's accident apparently served as ____________.
- Arecall recognition
- Bconscious unawareness
- Cprocedural information
- Da retrieval cue
20John is feeling very happy and content today and has noticed that he seems to have a better memory for several positive events from his past. This example of improved recall best demonstrates the phenomenon of (select the most precise answer):
- Amood-congruent recall.
- Bmood-dependent recall.
- Cschematic recall.
- Dproactive recall.
21Which of the following best illustrates how problems with encoding can contribute to forgetting?
- AYou forget the name of a person because you had a particularly negative and embarrassing interaction with her the last time you saw her.
- BYou forget the name of a person because you failed to transfer this information into your long-term memory in the first place.
- CYou forget the name of a person because you haven't seen them in many years and time and lack of use has eroded your memory of her.
- DYou forget the name of a person because she looks very similar to someone else that you just met.
22Forgetting occurs because presumed memory traces are thought to fade away with time and disuse. This is referred to as ______________.
- Adecay theory
- Bdual coding theory
- Che encoding specificity principle
- Dinterference theory
23Retroactive interference is said to occur when newly acquired material in memory interferes with the recall of ____________ material.
- Astate-dependent
- Bschematic
- Cother newly acquired
- Dolder
24You watched your hometown team win an exciting overtime game two weeks ago. Since then you have attended two new games, but your memory for these later games is poor with memories for the overtime game dominating your memory. This memory recall pattern is called ___________ memory interference.
- Aretroactive
- Bproactive
- Cprospective
- Dall of the above
25_______________ can produce both retrograde and anterograde amnesia and is thought to cause a decline in the functioning of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter system.
A. Prosopagnosia
B. Parkinson’s disease- AProsopagnosia
- BParkinson’s disease
- CAlzheimer's disease

26 There is a case of a woman suffering from memory loss who could not consciously remember the fact that a researcher had pinpricked her hand the last time they met. Though her memory for events prior to the amnesia are normal, she has difficulty creating new memories. Her memory loss is best considered to be an example of:
- Aretrograde amnesia.
- Bretroactive interference
- Cproactive interference
- Danterograde amnesia.
27An eyewitness from a crime is asked to look through some mug shots to see if he can identify the person who committed the crime. After doing this, he sees a police line-up of suspects and identifies one of the men as the person who committed the crime because he looks very familiar. Unfortunately, the man in the line-up looks familiar not because the eyewitness saw him commit the crime but because he saw his face in the mug-shot photograph a few hours ago and the eyewitness has forgotten where he saw the man. This example best demonstrates the phenomenon of:
- Aproactive interference.
- Bretrograde amnesia
- Csource confusion.
- Dmemory consolidation.
28Synaptic connections become activated more easily after synaptic connections have been strengthen through repeated experiences of the same perceptions or ideas. This is known as ___________.
- Aneural chunking
- Bhippocampal formation
- Cneural networking
- Dlong-term potentiation (LTP)
