Exam 23: Learning by Observation

An information-processing model that views memories as emerging from the simultaneous activation of interconnected neural networks is known as

We are more likely to remember the words "bicycle,cigarette,and fire" than the words "void,process,and inherent." This best illustrates the value of

A newer understanding of short-term memory that adds conscious,active processing of incoming auditory and visual information,and of information retrieved from long-term memory is referred to as

For a moment after hearing his dog's high-pitched bark,Mr.Silvers has a vivid auditory impression of the dog's yelp.His experience most clearly illustrates ________ memory.

The term working memory represents psychologists' newer understanding of

The tendency for distributed study to yield better long-term retention than massed study is known as

Ebbinghaus' retention curve best illustrates the value of

Explain the updated Atkinson and Shiffrin model of memory,which includes working memory and automatic processing.

According to Allen Baddeley and others,we consciously process incoming auditory and visual information in our ________ memory.

Effortful processing most clearly requires

Students often have longer-lasting memories of information from a one-semester course than from an intensive three-week course.This best illustrates the importance of

When Sperling visually displayed three rows of three letters each for only one-twentieth of a second,research participants

After being asked to remember three consonants,participants in a study by Peterson and Peterson counted aloud backward by threes to prevent

Encoding words based on the appearance of the word's letters involves

A friend claims that the faster you read,the more you remember.Use your knowledge of effortful processing and effective encoding strategies to refute your friend's claim.

To help think about the processes involved in memory,some memory researchers have developed

The immediate,very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system is referred to as

Using different neural networks to simultaneously encode the sights,sounds,and smells of a remembered baseball game best illustrates

The importance of parallel processing is emphasized by a model of memory known as

Researchers now recognize the active information processing that occurs in short-term memory and refer to it as ________ memory.
