1[blank_start]Memory[blank_end] is the process of retaining, retrieving, and using information about stimuli, images, events ideas and skills after the original information is no longer present
- AMemory
2[blank_start]Sensory memory[blank_end] is the initial stage, and holds all incoming information for seconds. [blank_start]Short-term memory[blank_end] (STM) holds 5 to 7 items for 15 to 20 seconds. [blank_start]Long-term memory[blank_end] (LTM) can hold a large amount of information for years or even decades.
- ASensory memory
- BShort-term memory
- CLong-term memory
3Rehearsal is an example of a [blank_start]control process[blank_end]
- Acontrol process
4[blank_start]Sensory memory[blank_end] is the retention for brief periods of time, of the effects of sensory stimulation.
- ASensory memory
5The [blank_start]persistence of vision[blank_end] is the continued perception of a visual stimulus even after it is no longer present (e.g., the trailing light behind a sparkler).
- Apersistence of vision
6The [blank_start]whole[blank_end] reporting method is when participants are asked to recall a string of numbers/letters in one big chunk. The [blank_start]partial[blank_end] reporting method is when participants are asked to recall string of numbers, but in smaller chunks (e.g., how a phone number is 020-489-5410, rather than 0204895410).
- Awhole
- Bpartial
7[blank_start]Iconic[blank_end] memory is the brief sensory memory for visual stimuli. [blank_start]Echoic[blank_end] memory is the persistence of sound for a few seconds after the stimulus.
- AIconic
- BEchoic
8How long does short-term memory last for?
- A13-17 seconds
- B4-8 seconds
- C15-20 seconds
- D1-2 minutes
9How many items can be held in short-term memory?
- A5-9 items
- B7-10 items
- C10+ items
- D13-15 items
10[blank_start]Chunking[blank_end] is when small units can be combined into larger, more meaningful units. E.g., the words, monkey, zoo, city, child, loud, bonobo, can become, bonobo monkey, city zoo, and loud child.
- AChunking
11[blank_start]Working memory[blank_end] is a limited capacity system for temporary storage and manipulation of information for complex tasks such as comprehension, learning and reasoning
- AWorking memory
12The phonological loop consists of the [blank_start]phonological store[blank_end] which has a limited capacity and holds information for only a few seconds, and the [blank_start]articulatory rehearsal process[blank_end] which is responsible for rehearsal that can keep items in the phonological store from decaying
- Aphonological store
- Barticulatory rehearsal process
13The [blank_start]visuospatial sketchpad[blank_end] holds spatial and visual information.
- Avisuospatial sketchpad
14The [blank_start]central executive[blank_end] is where the major work of the working memory occurs
- Acentral executive
15The [blank_start]phonological similarity[blank_end] effect is the confusion of words or letters that sound similar. The [blank_start]word length[blank_end] effect occurs when memory for lists is better with shorter words than it is for longer words
- Aphonological similarity
- Bword length
16[blank_start]Articulatory suppression[blank_end] is the repetition of an irrelevant sound, which reduces memory because speaking interferes with rehersal
- AArticulatory suppression
17[blank_start]Visual imagery[blank_end] is the creation of visual images in the mind in the absence of a physical stimulus. [blank_start]Mental rotation[blank_end] is the rotation of an object tin your mind (not physically).
- AVisual imagery
- BMental rotation
18The [blank_start]episodic buffer[blank_end] can store information and is connected to the long-term memory
- Aepisodic buffer
19The [blank_start]delayed response task[blank_end] requires the holding of information in the working memory during a delay period
- Adelayed response task
