Exam 8: Memory

Hermann Ebbinghaus studied the processes of memory by:

Research on the phenomenon of mood-congruent recall has indicated that people tend to have better recall:

If I were to ask you whether the word "force" rhymed with the word "course," to make this distinction you would have to use __________ encoding,a method of processing that is considered to be less "deep" than/as semantic encoding.

When taking this exam,you need to retrieve information from _____________ memory to answer the questions.

The tip-of-the-tongue state can occur because we are having trouble recalling an actual memory that has been stored in our brains,but it is also possible that this effect could sometimes be the result of:

Information about frequency,spatial location,and sequence of events often enters memory through ____________ processing.

Sir Frederick Bartlett's experiment showing how people misremembered various elements of a unique Pacific Northwest Indian story is most strongly related to which of the following?

The concept developed by Fergus Craik and Robert Lockhart (1972,2008),which states that the more deeply we process information,the better it will be remembered is referred to as the ______________ concept.

Schacter and his colleagues used fMRI to examine memory retrieval in subjects who believed that they had been abducted by aliens.They found subjects:

If you were asked the geographic relationship between your school and Norway,you would likely retrieve a mental world map for use in the ________________ to derive your answer.

Some memory theorists propose that memory can be represented as being similar to a massive system of linked ideas and concepts known as a(n)__________________.

When old memories interfere with a person's ability to recall newer memories,it is called:

When researchers refer to a neural pathway as being "stronger," they specifically mean that:

You are witness to a hit-and-run car accident.Just before the accident you looked directly at the car's license plate.How long can you expect your sensory memory to hold on to that iconic image?

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 ____________ encoding by saying the words to yourself silently and utilizing ____________ encoding by thinking about their meaning.

Most sensory memory is rapidly lost,unless it enters the _______________ memory.

George Sperling attempted to assess the duration of iconic memory by:

The hippocampus plays a critical role in the encoding of long-term declarative memories.

Which of the following best illustrates how encoding failure can contribute to forgetting? You forget the name of a person because:

A memory researcher claims that a concept such as "dog" is triggered by the simultaneous firing of nodes #8,#47,and #123 in a network,but if node #8 is simultaneously triggered with nodes #9 and #301,an entirely different concept appears in the mind.The views of this researcher are most consistent with the:
