IB COG 3.1.2 Working Model of Memory

What process allows information to move from the sensory register to STM i the MSMM?

• Rehearsal

• Retrieval

• Attention

• Encoding

• all of the above

What happens if we do not pay attention to information in the sensory register?

• Decays
• Interference
• Displacement
• Retrieval failure

In the study by Peterson & Peterson, what was the approximate recall rate of the trigram at 18 seconds?

• 80%

• 50%

• Less than 10%

• Less than 5%

• 20%

What is the main type of encoding in LTM?

• Acoustic
• Visual
• Semantic
• All of the above
• None of the above

Which two are not a weakness of the MSMM?

• there a multiple types of LTM stores

• it is too simplistic

• there are case studies to support the model

• Peterson & Peterson's research shows the STM has limited duration

• The Digit Span contradicts the models assertion about STM capacity

What type of encoding involves images?

• Visual
• Acoustic
• Semantic
• All of the above
• none of the above

What is encoding?

• Retention of information
• Recall of stored memories
• Operations we perform in the brain
• The perception of inoutted information
• Turning sensory information into a form that can be used

What is the capacity of LTM?

• 1, 000, 000
• Potentially unlimited
• 37
• 18
• 1,000,000,000

What causes forgetting in STM?

• Interference
• Displacement
• Decay
• Retrieval failure
• Displacement, Decay

what was controlled in Glazner and Cunitz's study

• the lighitng

• the temperature

• all words were 3 letters long

• all words were abstract nouns

• all words were one syllable
