Exam 7: Interconnections Between Acquisition and Retrieval

In a classic demonstration, Claparède showed that

The fMRI results using a "remember/know" testing procedure suggest that

A participant is asked, "In the list of words I showed you earlier, was there a word that rhymed with 'lake'?" The participant is likely to be well prepared for this sort of memory test if he or she

Which of the following statements is an example of a recognition test?

H.M. had much of his hippocampus removed to alleviate seizures. An unfortunate side effect was impaired explicit memory, even though later testing revealed his implicit memory was spared. In order to establish a double dissociation, which of the following patients would need to be found?

Imagine you are on a jury and subjected to conflicting eyewitness testimonies. One individual, Paul, says, "The defendant told me he took the money." The defendant claims that he is innocent, that Paul is misremembering, and that, in fact, their mutual friend Jake is the one who took the money. Given your knowledge of source memory, describe how this mix-up could occur. As a juror, what would you do in this case?

Group 1 is shown a series of words ("down," "right," and "sad") and is then asked to read the words aloud. Group 2 is shown a series of words ("up," "left," and "happy") and is then asked to say aloud their antonyms (opposites). If we later test participants' memories for the words, we will expect better performance for Group 1 if the test involves

When you are trying to access something in long-term memory, you use a

Which of the following observations is most likely an illustration of context-dependent learning?

Double dissociations in memory are important because they

When a person experiences familiarity but no accompanying source memory, the effect can be far-reaching but is unlikely to include

Compare and contrast implicit and explicit memory. Include in your discussion a description of the various testing methods that are used to assess each type of memory.

What is the level at which a node in a spreading activation model will fire?

Participants listen to a series of sentences played against a background of noise. Some of the sentences are identical to sentences heard earlier (without the noise), but other sentences heard in the noise are new. In this setting, participants will perceive

If you organized a game of Trivial Pursuit® with a group of Korsakoff patients, which of the following actions is LEAST likely to occur?

Argue in favor of or against the statement "Familiarity might be best classified as a conclusion you draw, rather than a feeling." Back up your thesis by including relevant empirical evidence.

Spreading activation models behave much like which biological system?

A researcher hypothesizes that high doses of caffeine can produce context-dependent learning. To confirm this hypothesis, the researcher would need to show that

In the brain, familiarity is associated with activity of the ________, while recall is associated with activity of the ________.

In the "remember/know" paradigm, "know" responses are NOT
