Unit 8: Memory Notes #2

Open Ended

Why is memory important in our daily lives?

Open Ended

What are the differences between sensory, short term, and long term memory?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT one of the three main processes of memory?

• Encoding

• Retrieval

• Forgetting

• Storage

Open Ended

Explain the role of elaborative rehearsal in long-term memory formation.

Multiple Choice

According to the memory model, what happens to information that is not encoded at the sensory or short-term memory stages?

• It is stored in long-term memory

• It is lost

• It is automatically retrieved

• It becomes procedural memory

Multiple Select

Which of the following are considered groups of long-term memory?

• Procedural memory

• Semantic memory

• Short-term memory

• Episodic memory

Open Ended

Describe the differences between semantic, episodic, and procedural memory, providing an example for each.

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the blank: The most basic type of long-term memory is

memory.

Multiple Choice

Which type of long-term memory allows you to recall facts such as '2+2=4' or 'It's dark at night'?

• Semantic memory

• Episodic memory

• Flashbulb memory

• False memory

Multiple Select

Which of the following are examples of episodic memory?

• Remembering your last birthday party

• Knowing that Paris is the capital of France

• Recalling your first day at school

• Understanding how to ride a bicycle

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the blank: Retrieval in long term memory includes flashbulb, tip of the tongue, and

memories.

Open Ended

What is a flashbulb memory, and why are such memories often remembered for life?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes a 'tip of the tongue' experience?

• You can almost recall a word but can't quite remember it

• You remember every detail of an event

• You believe a memory that never happened

• You recall a fact instantly

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the concept of 'forgetting' as presented in the first image?

• Apparent loss of memory due to decay and interference

• Permanent loss of memory due to injury

• Temporary loss of memory due to stress

• Improvement of memory over time

Open Ended

Explain the difference between recall and recognition, and provide an example of each from everyday life.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about serial position is correct?

• Stimuli must be learned in the order presented

• Stimuli can be learned in any order

• Serial position only applies to numbers

• Psychologists never use nonsense words

Multiple Select

Select all that apply: According to the recency and primacy effect, which items are most likely to be remembered when presented in a list?

• Items at the beginning

• Items in the middle

• Items at the end

• Items that are repeated

Fill in the Blanks

When items are presented in serial position, we are most likely to forget things that are presented in the

of the list.

Open Ended

How does the concept of decay explain the fading of memories over time?

Open Ended

How might learning a third language after already knowing two languages lead to interference in memory?

Multiple Choice

What is the theory of forgetting called where previously or newly learned information makes it difficult to recall material of interest?

• Interference

• Repression

• Decay

• Retrieval failure

Multiple Choice

Reflecting on today's lesson about memory, which of the following is NOT one of the main types of memory discussed?

• Short term memory

• Long term memory

• Sensory memory

• Procedural memory
