Exam 8: Memory

According to Craik and colleagues at the University of Toronto,semantic encoding is a deeper level of processing than phonemic encoding,which itself is a deeper level of processing than is _______________ encoding.

The cognitive revolution and the invention of computers both contributed to the metaphor of human memory as a(n):

Goodman et al.investigated the impact of leading questions on children's memories for a traumatic event (i.e.,a painful hospital procedure)and found that overall,younger children had memories that were less accurate than older children and that misleading questions had _______ effect on children's memories for this particular event.

Martha learns her math formulas for the weekly quizzes that she has in math class.Although she consistently earns perfect scores on the weekly quizzes,the day after any given quiz,Martha would be unable to take the quiz again and do as well.She noted her knowledge of the math formulas resembled the forgetting illustrated by ___________________.

All of the following were mentioned as ways of measuring explicit memory EXCEPT:

The term ____________ was coined by Sir Frederick Bartlett and is defined as a mental framework or organized pattern of thoughts about some aspect of the world.

Words at the end of a list are typically remembered better than words presented in the middle.This is known as the recency effect and it presumably happens because the last few words on the list remain in __________ memory.

Discuss the encoding,storage,retrieval and motivational processes that are related to forgetting.

A researcher who damages particular parts of an animal's brain and then observes the impact of this damage on memory and learning is involved in what is considered to be a nonhuman animal lesion experiment.

Which of the following statements regarding the concept of depth of processing is true?

Modern cognitive scientists refer to short-term memory as "working" memory because they believe that it functions similar to a(n):

The inability of most people to remember personal experience from the first few years of their lives is technically called:

You pass someone on the street and he looks familiar to you.You don't remember the person's name,but you can recall that you met him at a New Year's Eve party last year at a friend's house and you can even recall what he was wearing.These types of memories are best described as examples of:

Which of the following statements regarding motivated forgetting is most accurate?

If you think for a moment about the concept "school," it is likely that other concepts such as "textbooks," "teachers," and "exams" may also come to mind.The fact that these other words can be triggered by the word "school" is best considered to be an example of:

According 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.

Many modern cognitive memory researchers believe that short-term memory is a system that actively and simultaneously processes different kinds of information and supports other cognitive functions such as problem solving.Based on this belief,these cognitive memory researchers refer to short-term memory as:

big,huge,broad,long,tall.When presented with these two lists,research indicates that people usually have more difficulty accurately remembering List 1,which suggests that an important role in short-term memory is played by ____________ encoding.

This multiple choice test question would be considered an example of a:

As you are reading this question,you most likely are not storing images of the way the letters and words look.Instead,you are probably using phonological encoding by saying the words to yourself silently and then you think about their meaning and utilize ____________ encoding.
