1Sensory memory is....
- AWhere information is held very briefly in raw, unanalyzed form
- Bsite of ongoing cognitive activity, holds information that is currently being attended to
- Ca limitless, permanent storehouse of knowledge of the world
2There are two types of long-term memory: [blank_start]procedural[blank_end] memory and [blank_start]declarative[blank_end] memory
- Adeclarative
- Bprocedural
3Which is true about the types of long-term memory?
- AProcedural memory is our stored knowledge of well-learned habits and skills; Declarative memory is general facts about the world and facts about ourselves (autobiographical memory)
- BProcedural memory is general facts about the world and facts about ourselves (autobiographical memory) ; Declarative memory is our stored knowledge of well-learned habits and skills
4The Modal Model of Memory proposes adults have an unlimited processing capacity. Information-processing theorists propose that children have a very limited processing capacity.
- ATrue
- BFalse
5Adult working memory can hold around [blank_start]7[blank_end] items at a time, and young children's holds between [blank_start]2 - 5[blank_end] items at a time.
- A7
- B2 - 5
6________________ refers to the basic-level abilities involved in regulating attention and using information in short- or long-term memory.
- Amemory strategy
- Bexecutive function
- Cinformation-processing theory
- DModal model of memory
7The 5 cognitive abilities associate with the development of executive function are :
1. [blank_start]Speed of processing[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Memory[blank_end]
3. [blank_start]Attention[blank_end]
4. [blank_start]Inhibitory control[blank_end]
5. [blank_start]Cognitive flexibility[blank_end]- ASpeed of processing
- BMemory
- CAttention
- DInhibitory control
- ECognitive flexibility
8Select which are true about Speed of processing ...
- Ayoung children require more time to complete cognitive tasks, speed increases with age
- Byoung children require less time to complete cognitive tasks; speed decreases with age
- CThere is increased speed due to increased mylenation
- Dthere is increased speed due to synaptic pruning
- Ein older adulthood white matter decreases
- Fin older adulthood white matter increases
9What are the two major changes associated with increased age with the cognitive ability Memory?
- AIncreased memory span, Increased working memory
- Bdecreased memory span, increased working memory
- Cdecreased memory span, decreased working memory
- DIncreased memory span, decreased working memory
10(attention) With age, there is an increase in:
- Aattention span: the length of time with which we can sustain focused concentration
selective attention: the ability to focus only on chosen stimuli and to be distracted by task-irrelevant distractors - Bselective attention: the length of time with which we can sustain focused concentration
attention span: the ability to focus only on chosen stimuli and to be distracted by task-irrelevant distractors
- Aattention span: the length of time with which we can sustain focused concentration
11Inhibitory control is the ability to prevent a cognitive or behavioural response and can be tested with the Marshmallow test. Which is true?
- AThere is increased inhibitory control with age.
- BThere is decreased inhibitory control with age.
- CThe inhibitory control stays that same as children age.
12The Wisconsin card sorting task tells kids playing with cards to sort by colour but then changes the rules and asks to sort by shape. Meaning children have decreased ________
- Aspeed of processing
- Bcognitive flexibility
- Cmemory
- Dinhibitory control
- Eattention
13Researched tend to find that young children often fail to even use strategies at all. We call this a [blank_start]production deficiency[blank_end].
- Aproduction deficiency
14The Keeney et al. 1967 study on strategy use, they found that children who rehearsed had better recall than those who did not; however a substantial amount of children did not rehearse.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15All of the following factors influence whether children use a strategy in a given task, EXCEPT:
- ASocioeconomic status

- B4 to 5
- C2 to 3
- D1 to 2
17Which of the following is not an accepted explanation of infantile amnesia?
- AInfants have no long term memory
- Binfantile memory is coded as action patterns
- Cinfants/children have verbatim memory
- Dinfants have an underdeveloped sense of self
18Children who are poor readers avoid reading because it's difficult, whereas good readers read more because it's fun, and the gap between poor and good readers increases with age. This phenomenon is called:
- AThe reading gap effect
- Bthe Matthew effect
- CThe John effect
- DThe avoidant reading effect
19The number one predictor of a child's reading ability is:
