Exam 6: Memory

Which type of memory is most resistant to loss in Alzheimer's disease progression?

The hippocampus appears to be responsible for the storage of new long-term memories.If it is removed,the ability to store anything new is completely lost.

Memory is defined as an active system that consists of three processes.They are:

Recognition is the ability to match information with stored images or facts.

Evidence suggests that procedural memories are stored in the cerebellum,whereas short-term memories are stored in the prefrontal and temporal lobes of the cortex.

Which of the following might be the most appropriate analogy for eidetic imagery?

Craik and Lockhart's research and theory focused on the _________ of memory.

You try to remember a phone number by repeating it over and over to yourself.What type of memory strategy are you using?

Iconic memory allows us to remember the beginnings of sentences long enough to have meaningful conversations.

Which model of memory proposes that the deeper a person processes information,the better it will be remembered?

Canadian researcher Dr.Daniel Bernstein presented new findings about the potential positive behaviour consequences of false memories at the International Conference on Memory in Sydney,Australia,in 2006.Dr.Bernstein's research used information to create false memories that created a/an:

Decay theory works well to explain forgetting in:

Which type of long-term memory is most difficult to bring into conscious awareness?

The three parts of the information-processing model of memory are:

Alzheimer's disease is most associated with:

Memory trace decay theory assumes the presence of a physical memory trace that decays with disuse over time.

McGill researcher Maggie Bruck tested Loftus's theory about suggestion and accuracy of memory recall using children as subjects.When given misleading information,children were more likely to later report:

You are learning a list of items for a test by relating the items to each other and to information that you already have stored in memory.Which type of rehearsal are you using?

One of the most hopeful trends in the treatment of Alzheimer's is the emphasis on:

Canadian researchers Wagar and Cohen found European Canadians were faster at recognizing individual traits and Asian Canadians were faster at recognizing collective traits.Their research suggests that culture affects the ________ memory process.
