Exam 8: Memory

The amnesia patient H.M. was able to correctly perform a mirror-tracing task, but he had no recollection of ever having learned it. This means that we would classify his memory for this task as:

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:

Betsy went to a restaurant last night with some other first year students from her dorm. Although Betsy had never been to this particular restaurant, she knew exactly how to be seated, order, eat, and pay the bill. In her long-term memory, Betsy had a(n) _ for restaurants.

Episodic and semantic memory are two subcategories of procedural memory.

Consider the following two lists of words: List 1) man, mad, cap, can, map. List 2) big, huge, broad, long, tall. When presented with these two lists, research indicates that people usually have more difficulty accurately remembering List 1. Baddeley would argue that the reason List 2 is easier is because the list information would be stored in which component of working memory?

Which of the following would be most likely to produce a flashbulb memory?

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

Research indicates that you are likely to remember more on an exam if you

Any external or internal stimulus that triggers the activation of information stored in long-term memory is called a(n) _ _.

Carl and Ursula are taking a second language course and they study together. Each week Carl and Ursula study their new vocabulary words by generating another associated word and a short one-sentence memory that involves the word. Last week Carl and Ursula decided to cut down on the amount of preparation that they each did by taking turns generating the cues for the vocabulary words. When Carl used Ursula's notes to study that first week, he did not do well on the exam because:

As you try to remember all of the types of long-term memory, you decide to use a mnemonic device. You take each type of memory and visualize it in a different place in your house. You are using

A recall test is generally considered to be easier than a recognition test.

The recency effect appears to be due to the early transfer of information into long-term memory.

Prior to transferring information to long-term memory, both elaborative and maintenance rehearsal keep information active in memory.

Craik and Lockhart proposed the notion that the more deeply we process information, the better it will be remembered. This is the concept.

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.

Research with expert and novice chess players by Chase and Simon revealed that experts were able to accurately recall the placement of more chess pieces than novices after a 5- second glance when:

You have just witnessed a traffic accident. In order to best avoid a misinformation effect, the police officer should ask you which of the following?

The neural network approach to memory assumes that nodes in a network are physical in nature and do not contain individual units of information.

If you had to remember a series of words, which of the following techniques would be the best?
