Exam 8: Memory

Research has found that self-generating many retrieval cues facilitates memory.It is assumed that this type of processing facilitates encoding by:

Sheryl is able to rehearse her lines in the school play while riding her bicycle to school in the morning.Both of these tasks require processing,but in the case of learning her lines,the processing is:

In the case of the amnesia patient H.M.presented in the text,it was found that:

Memory is enhanced by creating a perceptual set or a readiness to perceive,organize,and interpret information in a particular way.This is attributable to _____________.

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,after the amnesia she has experienced difficulty creating new memories.Her memory loss is best considered to be an example of:

If you are using a computer,the keystrokes you type are translated into an electrical code that the computer can understand.This process is most similar to which of the following human memory constructs?

Eric is taking his psychology exam which contains multiple-choice questions.In order to answer the questions,Eric's strategy is to actively search his memory for the answers and,as such,he relies on his ____________ memory.

When information to be memorized is organized into a hierarchy,this capitalizes on the fact that memory is enhanced by associations between concepts.

Expert knowledge is most closely related to the idea of:

What kinds of factors serve to create inaccuracies in memory or forgetting? In your answer,discuss the relevance of the misinformation effect and source confusion.How does this information relate to your opinion of the eyewitness testimony?

Yesterday Jen's dad sent her to the grocery store for a few last minute items for dinner.Jen repeated the list to herself as she walked to the store.Although she did not remember a few of the items yesterday,she did remember the first several and last several on her dad's list.Today she can't remember the last few items on the list but she continues to recall the first several items.Most likely these items that were the first items her father listed:

Discuss the approach Ebbinghaus took to the study of forgetting.In your answer be sure to describe stimuli and methods he used and his classic finding.

Paivio proposed that the two forms in which long-term memory information is stored are:

It has been observed that the creation of multiple self-generated retrieval cues facilitates memory performance.It is assumed that if one cue fails to activate the memory,there are other cues still available that could activate it.This type of processing specifically improves the __________ process.

The idea that a concept in memory is represented by a particular set of nodes and is retrieved when the nodes in that set are activated in parallel belongs to the proposition of memory known as:

It is generally thought that the process of memory consolidation occurs in the:

While studying for a test,imagine that you focused a great deal of attention on the meaning of the information and attempted to relate it to examples and concepts that you are already familiar with.Your studying would best be considered an example of:
