Consistency bias exaggerates the similarity between:

Retrieval cues are always external stimuli in the environment.

Janet uses semantic judgement in encoding new terms encountered in her sociology class.fMRI studies reveal that the part of her brain likely to be MOST active during this process is the _____ lobe.

Andrej is a child who suffered hippocampal damage.It might be predicted that Andrej will struggle with:

Some psychologists who study memory believe that the role of the hippocampus is to:

Jessica has problems concentrating and,as such,does not perceive the information she reads in her textbook as well as she should.Jessica has a problem with _____ of information.

Conceptual priming is to perceptual priming as:

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is an example of blocking.

Sensory storage can hold information for only a few seconds or less.

Three groups of rats acquire a memory on day 1.On day 2,rats in group 1 are given a drug that prevents initial long-term storage while they are actively retrieving the memory.Rats in group 2 receive the drug but do not engage in memory retrieval.Rats in group 3 actively retrieve the memory and are shocked 6 hours later when they are not engaged in retrieval.On day 3,all three groups are assessed.Which group will show the GREATEST impairments in memory?

The phonological loop is a subsystem of working memory that stores and manipulates:

The case of HM is a documented case of a patient who could not form new long-term memories due to the removal of his _____ and parts of his temporal lobe.

Kandel's work with Aplysia demonstrated that short-term memory involves enhanced neurotransmitter release.

Recovering alcoholics tend to report a greater urge to drink when they visit places where they used to drink.This is partly the result of:
