Question 1

According to the research on implicit memory and explicit memory,

Accepted Answer

A) people with amnesia typically perform better on explicit memory tasks than on implicit memory tasks. 
B) when the tests are conducted properly,most people with normal memory reveal very little implicit memory. 
C) on implicit memory tasks,people recall much more when they have used deep levels of processing,rather than shallow levels. 
D) psychologists sometimes discover a dissociation; for example,a variable may have a large effect on an explicit task,but a small effect on an implicit task.

Question 2

According to the discussion of the "false memory controversy,"

Accepted Answer

A) we have extensive evidence that people repress painful memories and later recover them. 
B) in some cases,therapists have suggested that unpleasant events may have occurred during childhood,and people may mistakenly believe that they actually occurred. 
C) researchers have constructed a checklist to determine whether an individual is telling the truth about an early life event; this checklist has high validity. 
D) the research shows that people seldom make errors; when they say they experienced an event,it is almost certain that they did so.

Question 6

What is one explanation that Craik and his colleagues propose for the reason why a deep level of processing leads to greater recall?

Accepted Answer

A) At a deep level,you recognize the patterns more efficiently. 
B) Deep levels make the stimulus different from other memory traces in the system; it's more distinctive. 
C) Deep levels place more emphasis on vivid physical characteristics of the material. 
D) Encoding specificity is more likely to occur.

B) British White residents were equally accurate in distinguishing British White faces and South Asian faces. 
C) South Asian residents were more accurate in distinguishing South Asian faces than British White faces.
