Retention and Retrieval

Multiple Choice

Two types of long term memory?

• Explicit and Implicit

• Linguistic and Activation

• Visuospatial phonological

Multiple Choice

The hippocampus enables us to create new

• implicit memories

• explicit memories

• procedural memories

• short term memories

Multiple Choice

Classical conditioning creates

• Episodic memories

• Semantic memories

• Implicit memories

• Explicit memories

Multiple Choice

An essential difference between semantic and episodic memories is that

• Semantic memories are the same for everyone; episodic are personal experiences

• Semantic memories are personal experiences; episodic are the same for everyone

• You can verbalise a semantic memory but it is harder to put an episodic memory into words

Multiple Choice

blockage of memory by previous or subsequent memories or loss of a retrieval cue

• confabulation

• decay

• interference

• episodic

Multiple Choice

The process of grouping items to make them easier to remember

• encoding

• recognition

• chunking

• episodic

Multiple Choice

The idea that information needs to be converted into a form that is meaningful to the person learning it is referred to as

• Encoding

• Storage

• Recall

• Consolidation

Multiple Choice

The tendency for memory of information to be improved if related information (such as surroundings or physiological state) available when the memory is being retrieved.

• encoding specificity
