6. which theory do the three processes (phonetic, structural and semantic) abide

  • levels of processing
  • multi store model
  • interferance

7. what is semantic processing

  • thinking about the meaning of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the physical appearance of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the sound of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the length of words to be learnt

8. what is the capacity of the sensory store

  • 10 minutes
  • 1 week
  • very limited
  • 2 days

9. how long can information be stored in the sensory store

  • as long as you are using that sense
  • 1 minute
  • less than one second
  • 10 seconds

10. how long can information be stored in the short term memory store

  • 1 day
  • 20-30 minutes
  • 1 hour
  • 5 minutes

11. what is the flow of information in memory

  • encoding --> retrieval -->storage
  • storage --> encoding -->retrieval
  • encoding --> storage --> retrieval
  • retrieval --> encoding -->storage

12. which of these is part of the multistore model of memory

  • long term store
  • energy store
  • random store
  • taste store

13. what is encoding

  • making a code in your head that helps you remember information
  • holding information in the memory store
  • changing information so that it can be stored
  • recovering information from storage

14. how long will information stay in the long term memory store

  • 50 years
  • forever
  • 10 years
  • a few months

15. which of these are NOT a study on forgetting

  • Miller / Brain damage (case study not research)which
  • Craik and Lockhart / Leading Questions
  • Godden and Baddely / context and memory
  • Underwood and Postman / new learning interfering with old info

16. what is phonetic processing

  • thinking about the sound of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the length of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the physical appearnce of words to be learnt
  • thinking about the meaning of words to be learnt

17. who did a study on the primacy and recency effect

  • Murdock
  • peterson and peterson
  • Craik and Lockhart
  • Miller

18. how many "chunks" of information can be stored in the short term memory store

  • 8+/-4
  • 7+/-2
  • 6+/-2
  • 5

19. what method can be used to store information in the short term memory store

  • chunking
