6. How is information passed from STM to LTM?

  • Rehearsed
  • Processed
  • Elaborated
  • Forgotten

7. LTM is thought to have an infinite duration and capacity.

  • True
  • False

8. How can information be lost in LTM?

  • Rehearsal and decay
  • Damage and decay
  • Forgetting and decay

9. What is the Multi-Store model of memory referred as?

  • Imaginative model
  • Structural model
  • Flow-chart model

10. How can information be kept in STM?

  • Reversal
  • Rehearsal
  • Remembering
  • Reminiscing

11. What are the three separate sensory store called?

  • Iconic, Echoic and Haptic
  • Auditory, Semantic and Visual
  • Sensory, STM, LTM

12. Which famous psychologist carried out research into the input of things we see?

  • Baddeley
  • Shiffrin
  • Lockhart
  • Hitch
  • Atkinson

13. This research can be applied to cartoon films.

  • True
  • False

14. Which psychologist carried out the three rows of letters experiment, in which participants had to recall one line of letters after been show them for a very short period of time?

  • Bowlby
  • Atkinson
  • Sperling
  • Shiffrin

15. How long was the period in which these letters were shown?

  • 50 milliseconds
  • 5 seconds
  • 1 millisecond
  • 1 second
  • 100 milliseconds

16. What conclusion was drawn from this experiment?

  • The image of the letters had faded by the time of recall
  • The image of the letters remained in the participant
  • The image of the letters was unretrievable to the participants when it came the time to recall
  • None, it was a waste of time and proved nothing

17. What is meant by the term "displacement"?

  • Forgetting information in STM to make room for incoming information
  • Forgetting information whilst it is being rehearsed
  • Forgetting information that has been encoded into LTM

18. What is meant by the term "free recall" task?

  • A task in which participants can recall any memory
  • A task in which participants can recall information from the experiment in any order
  • A task in which participants can recall any information
  • A task in which participants can recall information from the experiment in a certain order

19. In terms of the Multi-Store memory model, psychologists used "free recall" tasks to prove what?

  • The distinction between STM and LTM
  • That STM had a capacity of 7 ± 2 items
  • That information had to be rehearsed to enter the LTM
  • The sensory memory had three different stores
  • That LTM had a capacity of 7± 2 items

20. The recency effect is used to describe the event where participants remember the first information they are presented with?

  • False
  • True
