A fill-in-the-bank test is a good example of:

• recall

• recognition

• relearning

• retrieval

• reinforcement

In Atkinson and Shiffrin's three-stage memory processing model, we record information in which order?

• short-term memory, sensory memory, encoded memory

• sensory memory, encoded memory, long-term memory

• sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

• short-term memory, long-term memory, sensory memory

• storage memory, encoded memory, historical memory

This is a relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of your memory system.

• short-term memory

• sensory memory

• long-term memory

• immediate memory

• echoic memory

The process of information into the memory into the memory system is called

• encoding

• retrieval

• rehearsal

• storage

• semantics

Jamaal has to make an important phone call. Unfortunately, his cell phone is not charged so he has to use his landline which does not store phone numbers. To make the phone call, he has to get the number from his cell phone and remember it long enough to dial it on his landline. For this task, which memory is most important?

• working memory

• long-term memory

• flashbulb memory

• echoic memory

• iconic memory

___________ is a newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, as well as of information retrieved from long-term memory.

• working memory

• iconic memory

• automatic processing

• spacing effect

• serial position effect

The three steps in memory information processing are:

• input, processing, output

• input, storage, output

• input, storage, retrieval

• encoding, storage, retrieval

• echoic, iconic, semantic

Dr. Napleton prefers to give his students all essay and fill-in-the-blank questions in order to fully test their

• recall

• recognition

• reconstruction

• relearning

• reinforcement

You hear a familiar word in your native language and it is virtually impossible not to recognize the word's meaning. This best illustrates the importance of

• flashbulb memory

• automatic processing

• iconic memory

• the spacing effect

• semantic encoding

Ricardo distributes his study time rather than cramming because he wants to retain information for the long term. He is using the

• serial-position effect

• spacing effect

• semantic effect

• next-in-line effect

• semantic encoding
