AP Psych- Memory, Thinking, and Language

Not only does Susie remember learning not to sass her parents, as an adult she still feels that it is important to follow that. Clearly she has a well established:

• memory

• mental set

• operational definition

• rehearsal

• working memory

Which of the following would be the most useful to encode information into your long term memory?

• rehearsal

• retrieval

• storage

• acoustic encoding

• visual encoding

If you can only remember your homework during the day, but then forget it by the night time or next morning, it only went into your:

• short term memory

• long term memory

• haptic memory

• semantic memory

• echoic memory

Regan was sleeping during his class, and did not hear what the teacher said, was on the board, or was completed during the activity they did. He clearly caused an issue with ______________ content

• deconstructing

• disaggregating

• retrieving

• storing

• encoding

Roberto paid attention in class, but could not retain the information because of a head injury he had after playing football earlier in the day. He clearly suffers from an issue with ____________________ content

• disaggregating

• deconstructing

• retrieving

• storing

• encoding

Taylor studied every day for brief amounts of time during the whole unit to prepare for her tests. She clearly was doing:

• automatic processing

• effortful processing

• working memory processing

• haptic recall reconstruction

• parallel processing

If you are combining new and old information so that you can problem solve you are most likely using your:

• short term memory

• long term memory

• working memory

• haptic memory

• sensory memory

While you were studying for this test, you were also worried about if that person you like was going to text you. This is a clear demonstration of

• working memory

• parallel processing

• haptic memory

• effortful processing

• automatic processing

Whose research into how learning and memories are retained best when distributed over time changed our perception of how to study:

• Herman Ebbinghaus

• Elizabeth Loftus

• George A. Miller

• Noam Chomsky

• Wolfgang Kohler

How did Elizabeth Loftus' work change the field of psychology?

• We learned that you can only remember about 7 facts.

• We learned that there is a learning and forgetting curve.

• We learned that eyewitness recall can be false.

• We learned that insight learning helps to problem solve.

• We learned that the language you speak determines how you think about the world.
