6. Which of these is NOT a feature of the associate network model of memory storage?
Reflects the operations of the nervous system
Priming occurs, preparing for once concept by another
Network of associated ideas and concepts
Activation of one network leads to spreading activation
7. What is the difference between the phonological store and articulatory rehearsal system?
Store holds words and ARS holds other sounds
Store holds the initial sound input and the ARS repeats sounds
Store holds non-verbal sounds and ARS holds verbal sounds
Store repeats sounds from environment and ARS holds these sounds
8. Which of these facts about memory is not true?
Memories are accurate representations of our experiences
Memories are constructed
Schemas can distort memories
Active sifting occurs when forming and retrieving memories
9. Short-term memory temporarily holds information due to a limited capacity. What can increase capacity?
Priming
Rehearsal
Chunking
Acoustic storage
10. In what area of the brain is working memory processed?
Cortical areas across the four lobes
Sensory areas of cerebral cortex
Hippocampus and surrounding areas
Brain stem
11. Which of the following statements best describe retrograde amnesia?
Memory loss for events before a trauma occurs
Memory loss for events that occur after a trauma
Memory loss due to special conditions/abnormalities
Memory loss for events from the first few years of life
12. A cue is a stimulus that activates memory. Which of these features of retrieval relies on cues?
Autobiographical memories
Encoding specificity principle
Distinctive stimuli are better remembered
Flashbulb memories
13. Maintenance rehearsal involves rote repetition whereas elaborative retrieval rehearsal involves expanding on the meaning of the information. The method of loci is an example of elaborative rehearsal. What is the method of loci?
Producing associations between memories
Rehearsing information using verbal and visual coding
Associating mental images with physical locations
Reorganising information into meaningful units
14. Which of these is not a feature of sensory memory?
Encodes information in the same form it is received.
Briefly holds all sensory information from environment
Divides into two stores: Iconic and echoic
Allows you to pay attention to important information to transfer to short-term memory
15. Which of these are NOT an example of the misinformation effect?
Suggestion
Leading questions
Cultural influences
Source confusion
16. Which of these types of forgetting describes retroactive interference?
Information was not processed deeply during encoding
Physical memory traces fade with time and disuse
New information interferes with retrieval of previously learnt information
Old information interferes with retrieval of new information
17. Which of these features of the neural network model of storage is most different to the associative model?
Each memory is represented by a unique pattern of nodes
Connections between nodes are strengthened by activation
18. Which of the following statements best describes memory?
Process of moving information between sensory, short-term and long-term memory
Process that allows recording, storing and retrieving of experiences and information
Process of remembering information or an event with accuracy
Process of storing information in the brain to inform our behaviour.
19. Long-term memory can explain the serial disposition effect. What is this?
That the most recent items in a series will be remembered better than the first items because the recent items replace the first items in long-term memory.
That the first items in a series will be remembered better than the most recent because the first items move into long-term memory.
That the first items and most recent items in a series will be best remembered
That items will only be remembered if moved into long-term memory
20. What is motivated forgetting?
Forgetting memories of past experience (retrospective)
Consciously or unconsciously wanting to forget an event
Inability to recall information but feeling like we are about to remember it
Forgetting memories that remind us to do something in the future (prospective)
