Question 2

What can we conclude about the use of imagery to improve memory?

Accepted Answer

A) Imagery seems to be involved only in retrieval,rather than in encoding. 
B) In general,people recall only 10% more if the instructions emphasize imagery,instead of simple repetition. 
C) Compared to repetition instructions,imagery instructions produce much better recall. 
D) Imagery is helpful on recognition tasks,but not on recall tasks.

Question 3

Part of Chapter 6 examined students' study strategies for easy and difficult material.Which of the following students provides the most accurate perspective on that research?

Accepted Answer

A) Carlo: "When the memory task is relatively easy,students spend about the same amount of time studying the easiest items and the most difficult items." 
B) Sondra: "When the memory task is relatively easy,students spend the most time on the difficult items; when the memory task is relatively difficult,students spend the most time on the easy items." 
C) Phil: "Students study the difficult items more than the easy items when the material is related to their own interests; otherwise,they show no consistent pattern in their study strategies." 
D) Indira: "Students' study strategies depend on their motivational level; the most motivated students divide their time equally among the topics,but the less motivated students spend more time on the difficult tasks."

Question 4

Which of the following students provides the most accurate advice about metacomprehension?

Accepted Answer

A) Arianna: "Students typically have better metacognition if they read a passage,wait briefly,and then summarize the passage." 
B) Krisanthi: "Surprisingly,students who use shallow processing have more accurate metacomprehension than students who use deep processing." 
C) David: "Good readers and poor readers are equally likely to know that they should try to make connections among the concepts they are reading about." 
D) Derek: "Good readers and poor readers are equally likely to be aware of helpful reading strategies."

Question 5

Chapter 6 discussed college students' metamemory about factors affecting memory accuracy.According to this discussion,

Accepted Answer

A) students with ADHD consistently overestimate their memory accuracy,compared with students without ADHD. 
B) students are usually accurate in predicting how many hours they should study in order to get a good score in an exam. 
C) students usually believe that simple rehearsal is an effective way to study for an exam. 
D) students are aware that the research shows that you remember words better if they are printed in a large font size,rather than a small font size.
