Exam 7: Interconnections Between Acquisi-Tion and Retrieval

A friend of yours has recently grown a beard.When you encounter him,you realize at once that something about his face has changed,but you are not certain what has changed.We can conclude from this that

In one study,participants first learn a list of words.Then,in a memory test,participants are asked whether each word was on the earlier list and also whether they "remember" seeing each word or just "know" each was on the list.While participants are making these "remember/know" judgments,an fMRI scan records their brain activity.The results indicate that

Participants are asked to memorize a list of words.The eighth word on the list is "inches," the ninth word is "meters," and the tenth word is "feet." In which of the following situations would the participants be most likely to remember the previous exposure to "feet"?

The famous patient H.M.was unable to remember events he experienced after his brain surgery.The surgery apparently produced

Which of the following statements regarding explicit memory is FALSE?

Which of the following is most like an example of the influence of implicit memory?

Establishing a memory connection

According to the textbook chapter,what would be the most accurate way to describe the subjective feeling of familiarity?

Theories of spreading activation assume that activating one node will lead to

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

Participants are asked to memorize a list of words.In addition to the words themselves,participants will remember some aspects of the context in which the words appeared.This tendency to remember a stimulus within its context is referred to as

In an experiment,participants learned materials in Room A and were tested in Room B.If they were asked to think about Room A just before taking the test,participants

Two groups of participants were asked to learn a series of word pairs and were then given a memory test.Both groups were told to remember the second word in each pair and use the first only as an aid to remember the targets.For Group A,the first word was semantically associated with the target word (e.g. ,dark-light).For Group B,the first word rhymed with the target word (e.g. ,sight-light).Then,each group was given hints during the memory test.Some of these hints were related to meaning (e.g. ,"Was there a word associated with 'dark'?");some were related to sound (e.g. ,"Was there a word associated with 'sight'?").Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Geraldo,a lawyer,has read about a case (Jones v.Arizona)that he thinks will help one of his clients.Geraldo wants to make sure that he remembers to discuss the case with his client,and also wants to remember to bring up the case in his opening statement in court.His best approach is likely to be to

Weston is initially unsure how to answer the question "What is the capital of Wisconsin?" When provided with the hint "It's a girl's name," Weston quickly recalls that the capital is Madison.Which of the following best explains this?

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

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.

Abigail saw the stimulus "cla--" and was asked to think of a word that began with these letters.This task is called

If you perceive a stimulus and then later perceive the same stimulus again,you are likely to perceive the stimulus more quickly and more easily the second time.This benefit can be described as a(n)

Double dissociations in memory are important because they
