Context has an effect on memory:

Evidence for state-dependent learning has been found in all of the following situations EXCEPT:

Which of the following observations is MOST likely an illustration of state-dependent learning?

Mark suffered a blow to the head many weeks ago, causing retrograde amnesia. Which of the following incidences is Mark LEAST likely to remember?

If a memory is like a city you want to travel to, and the retrieval paths you use to find the memory are like highways that lead to that city, which is the BEST strategy for memorizing?

Which of the following statements is TRUE about the role the hippocampus plays in memory?

In many circumstances, participants correctly recognize that a stimulus is familiar, but they are mistaken in their beliefs about where and when they encountered the stimulus. This error is referred to as:

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:

With respect to memory strategies, evidence suggests that _____ is superior 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 his implicit memory was spared. In order to establish a double dissociation, which of the following patients would need to be found?

Group 1 is shown a series of words ("down," "right," and "sad") and is then asked to read the words aloud. Group 2 is shown a series of words ("up," "left," and "happy") and is then asked to say aloud their antonyms (opposites). If we later test participants' memories for the words, we expect better performance for Group 1 if the test involves:

A researcher hypothesizes that high doses of caffeine can produce state-dependent learning. To confirm this hypothesis, the researcher would need to show that:

Which of the following statements is an example of a recognition test?

An investigator asks, "Can you remember what happened last Tuesday at noon while you were sitting in the back room of Jane's Restaurant?" This is an example of a question relying on:

In tachistoscopic testing, implicit memory seems to be maximized by:

fMRI results using a "Remember/Know" testing procedure suggest that:

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

A participant is asked to memorize a series of word pairs, including the pair "heavy-light." The participant is asked later if any of the following words had been included in the list memorized earlier: "lamp," "candle," "spark," and "light." The participant denies having seen any of these words recently. This is probably because:

Establishing a memory connection:

Which of the following statements is NOT true for explicit memory?
