6. Which statement is false? According to the interference theory of forgetting

  • Retroactive interference occurs under high attentional demand, even with high working memory capacity
  • Retroactive interference occurs because the correct response is very weak or the incorrect response is very weak
  • Proactive interference is the disruption of memory by previous learning (often similar material)
  • there are two forms of interference which can impair LTM

7. Infantile amnesia is not

  • Caused by hippocampal development and the density of synapses in PFC
  • Inability to recall autobiographical memories from early childhood
  • A rare disorder
  • Absence of memories for the first three years of life

8. Severe difficulties in production of lanuage are also known as

  • Broca's aphasia
  • Wernicke's aphasia
  • Integrative aphasia
  • Associative aphasia

9. What are the stages is Marr's theory of object recognition?

  • 1. raw primal sketch, 2. comparing grey levels, 3. 2.5D sketch, 4. 3D model representation
  • 1. grey level (input image), 2. raw primal sketch, 3. 2.5D sketch, 4. 3D model representation
  • 1. edge extraction, 2. segmentation, 3. constructing geons from previously selected invariant properties, 4. comparing the geon construction with object representation stored in LTM

10. Which part of the brain plays vital role in consolidation of memories?

  • hippocampus
  • neocortex
  • PFC
  • IPS

11. Which statement is false about the raw primal sketch?

  • object centered
  • developed by grouping recurring place tokens into patterns that capture the scene or object
  • grouping based on spatial pattern of intensity, size and density of recurring features
  • constructed from the edge variations die to texture on the object

12. According to the Weak Phonological Model

  • phonological processes are automatic
  • phonological processing of visual words is relatively slow and inessential for word identification
  • some phonological coding occurs rapidly when a word is presented visually
  • processing occurs before accessing word meanign

13. Condition caused by brain damage in which there is an impaired ability to name objects is also known as

  • agrammatism
  • amorphologism
  • anomia
  • jargon aphasia

14. Totoro is in the field - what type of information is this?

  • allocentric
  • egocentric
  • categorical
  • metric

15. What are the mothods of retrieving autobiographical memories?

  • generative retrieval and direct retrieval
  • generative retrieval and degenerative retrieval
  • elaboration and reminiscing
  • general event and event specific knowledge

16. Which does not describe the phonological loop

  • Component of working memory for holding speech-based information
  • Consists of phonological store and articulatory control system
  • Consists of phonological control system and articulatory circuit
  • Important for memory as involves verbal/sub-vocal rehearsal

17. Infants are born with ________, but develop ________ and also the use of __________

  • categorical coding, metric coding, dead reckoning
  • metric coding, categorical coding, dead reckoning
  • egocentric coding, metric coding, categorical coding
  • metric coding, spatial coding, categorical coding

18. Which of the statements does not describe the difference between the autobiographical and episodic memory?

  • Autobiographical memory extends back over years or decades, episodic memory often extends back only for minutes or hours
  • Autobiographical memory often relates to trivial events, whereas episodic memory often related to events of personal significance
  • Autobiographical memory often deals with complex memories selected from a huge collection of personal experiences; episodic memory is much more limited in its scope
  • Autobiographical memory relatied to events of personal significance, whereas episodic memory often relates to trivial events
  • Some aspects of autobiographical memory involve semantic memory (general knowledge) rather than episodic memory

19. Using _____________ to access autobiographical memories is more effortful than ____________

  • autobiographical memory knwoledge base, working self
  • working self, autobiographical memory knowledge base
  • generative retrieval, direct retrieval
  • direct retrieval, generative retrieval

20. Which does not describe the visual spatial sketchpad

  • Linked to visual semantics
  • Plays an important tole in use/understanding of language
  • Specialised for spatial and visual processing and temporary storage
  • Used for the manipulation of visual patterns and movement
