Exam 6: Verbal Learning

Smith gives his experimental subjects the words BOY and SKY to learn in a paired associate task. After presenting subjects with these two words, subjects must generate a sentence that uses both of the words. Dr. Smith's methodology is study the effect of which of the following processes on paired-associate learning?

Joe remembers to buy his wife, Ann, an anniversary present because to word "anniversary" contains his wife's name. This type of memory aid is illustrative of:

Bill has to take a final exam that will consist of long essays. The mnemonic device he should use to enhance his memory should be:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of implicit learning?

A critical element of Ebbinghaus's work on memory processes involved:

If you studied for an exam by preparing to simply recall definitions, then the principle of encoding specificity states that you should be questioned using questions of which type?

The existence of long-term memory can be said to be supported by the occurrence of:

As a result of taking this test today, you are having a difficult time recalling the material you studied yesterday, for a test in tomorrow's calculus class. The memory deficit described here illustrates:

The easier it is to associate information within the context of a paired-associate learning task means that one has learned the material in a better way (opposed to having difficulty forming associations).

Mnemonics:

Memories that can be retrieved from a given memory store are considered:

A group of children are presented with a list of 20 words that they are told to remember. Upon engaging in a free-recall task after the list is presented, which of the following children is likely to recall the most words?

Enhanced recall for information presented in an earlier (as opposed to later) portion of a word list is referred to as:

Which of the following groups of words has the highest chance of being recalled perfectly?

Placing a list of to-be-remembered items along a mental path, and then taking a walk to along the path to remember the items is the basic idea underlying which mnemonic device?

Steve is trying to remember the name of his first-grade teacher, but he's having difficulty. He remembers that the teacher's name starts with an M, but that's all he can seemingly remember. Steve's problem is arising from a difficulty with:

Sue is asked to remember as many words from a previously studied list, and is given the word "ANIMALS" as a reminder. This type of task is best described as:

Which of the following stimuli would be most typical of the material that Ebbinghaus used in his memory research?

Which of the following is not an essential component of a mnemonic system?

The answer to which of the following questions would be considered a valid indicator of one's serial learning ability?
