- Cc. I was talking to that boy three months ago.
- Dd. I talked to my cousin Amelia on the phone six months ago.
22. The primacy effect is attributed to
- Aa. recall of information stored in LTM.
- Bb. a type of rehearsal that improves memory for all items in a list.
- Cc. recall of information still active in STM.
- Dd. forgetting of early items in a list as they are replaced by later items.
33. The primacy effect (from the serial position curve experiment) is associated with memory.
- Aa. long-term
- Bb. short-term
- Cc. sensory
- Dd. implicit
44. Murdoch's "remembering a list" experiment described the serial position curve and found that memory is best for
of a list.- Aa. the first words
- Bb. the middle words
- Cc. the last words
- Dd. both the first and last words
55. When investigating the serial position curve, delaying the memory test for 30 seconds
- Aa. has no effect on the curve.
- Bb. increases the primacy effect.
- Cc. decreases the recency effect.
- Dd. increases both the primacy and the recency effects.
66. Regarding free recall of a list of items, which of the following will most likely cause the recency effect to disappear by preventing rehearsal from taking place?
- Aa. Inserting a 30-second delay before recall
- Bb. Presenting the stimulus list at a slower pace
- Cc. Counting backward for 30 seconds before recall
- Dd. Using a very long list (greater than 30 items at one item per second)
77. The recency effect occurs when participants are asked to recall a list of words. One way to get rid of the recency effect is to
- Aa. have participants say "la, la, la" while studying the list.
- Bb. present the list more slowly.
- Cc. have participants count backwards for 30 seconds after hearing the last word of the list.
- Dd. have participants see the words on a screen, rather than hear them.
88. Carrie answers her phone with "Hello?" A response, "Hi, Carrie!" comes from the other end of the line. Carrie responds back with "Hi, Dad!" Carrie processed "Hi, Carrie" using an
- Aa. auditory code in short-term memory.
- Bb. auditory code in long-term memory.
- Cc. iconic code in short-term memory.
- Dd. iconic code in long-term memory.
99. The predominant type of coding in LTM is
- Aa. phonological.
- Bb. concrete.
- Cc. semantic.
- Dd. visual.
1010. This multiple choice question is an example of a test.

1111. Lamar has just gotten a new job and is attending a company party where he will meet his colleagues for the first time. His boss escorts him around to small groups to introduce him. At the first group, Lamar meets four people and is told only their first names. The same thing happens with a second group and a third group. At the fourth group, Lamar is told their names and that one of the women in the group is the company accountant. A little while later, Lamar realizes that he only remembers the names of the people in the first group, though he also remembers the profession of the last woman he met (the accountant). Lamar's experience demonstrates
- Aa. The phonological similarity effect
- Bb. A build-up and release of proactive interference
- Cc. The cocktail party phenomenon
- Dd. A partial-report procedure
1212. Wickens et al.'s "fruit, meat, and professions" experiment failed to show a release from proactive interference in the "fruit" group because
- Aa. the stimulus category changed.
- Bb. the stimulus category remained the same.
- Cc. the response task changed.
- Dd. the response task remained the same.
1313. Suppose you have been studying your French vocabulary words for several hours and are making many mistakes. You switch to reviewing the new terms for your upcoming biology test, and your performance is noticeably better.
You are experiencing- Aa. the self-reference effect.
- Bb. retroactive inhibition.
- Cc. release from proactive interference.
- Dd. disinhibition.
1414. In which of the following examples of two different brain-injured patients (Tom and Tim) is a double dissociation demonstrated?
- Aa. Both Tom and Tim have good episodic memory but poor semantic memory.
- Bb. Tom and Tim both show deficits in episodic and semantic memory.
- Cc. Tom has good semantic memory and poor episodic memory, while Tim has good episodic memory but poor semantic memory.
- Dd. Both Tom and Tim have good semantic memory but poor episodic memory.
1515. The dramatic case of patient H.M. clearly illustrates that is crucial for the formation of LTMs.
- Aa. the hippocampus
- Bb. synaptic consolidation
- Cc. vitamin B1
- Dd. deep processing
1616. Your book discusses the memory functioning of patient H.M. who underwent brain surgery to relieve severe epileptic seizures. H.M.'s case has been extremely informative to psychologists by demonstrating that
- Aa. LTM can operate normally while STM is impaired.
- Bb. impairment of one memory system (LTM or STM) necessarily leads to deficits in the functioning of the other.
- Cc. a double dissociation exists for STM and LTM.
- Dd. STM can operate normally while LTM is impaired.
1717. Which of the following is NOT a conclusion from the case of H.M., who had an operation to help alleviate his epileptic seizures?
- Aa. The hippocampus is necessary for forming new LTMs.
- Bb. Short-term and long-term memories are controlled by different mechanisms.
- Cc. Short-term and long-term memories can operate independently of each other.
- Dd. LTMs are unaffected by damage to the hippocampus.
1818. Neuropsychological evidence indicates that STM and LTM probably
- Aa. represent different aspects of the same mechanism.
- Bb. are caused by different mechanisms that depend upon each other.
- Cc. both rely most heavily on a semantic coding mechanism.
- Dd. are caused by different mechanisms that act independently.
1919. A study participant is given a list of words to remember. One week later, he recalls the list. Let's say that one of the list words was PEAR.

- Aa. REAR
- Bb. PAIR
- Cc. APPLE
- Dd. BEAR
