Anterograde amnesia is

• is where a patient who has suffered a brain injury cannot remember information from before the injury.

• is the inability to store any new long term memories following a brain injury

• is the first set of items recalled only from a list of recall list

• is the inability to recall memories from the ones life

Peterson and Peterson 1959

• conducted a lab experiment to investigate the duration of short term memory

• conducted a field experiment to investigate the duration of longterm memory

• conducted a lab experiment to test for the sensory memory

• conducted a lab experiment to investigate primacy and recency effect.

Tiny sacs containing neurotransmitters are called

• receptors

• axons

• neurons

• vesicles

Siffre was isolated and would not have ---------- for six months.

• sleep wake cycle

• zeitgebers

• food

• clock

Identification is

• going along with the majority even though we privately do not agree

• going along with the majority because we dont know how to behave in situation

• temporarily adopting the behaviours of a role model

• loss of personal self awareness as a result of being in a group

Some memories are stored in terms of their meaning.  Which type of encoding is this?

• Visual
• Acoustic
• Semantic
• Tactile

Learning something by putting it to music is an example of:

• Retrieval
• Acoustic encoding
• Tactile encoding
• Visual encoding

The three stages of the memory process (in the correct order) are:

• Encoding, retrieval, storage
• Visual encoding, acoustic encoding, retrieval
• Encoding, storage, retrieval
• Encoding, recognition, retrieval

The three types of long term memory are:

• Episodic, visual, procedural
• Visual, semantic, procedural
• Recognition, acoustic, episodic
• Episodic, semantic, procedural

A weakness of the multi-store memory model is:

• It is far too simplistic, and doesn't explain all of our memories
• It has no application to everyday life
• There is no evidence to support it
• It doesn't explain how information gets into the long term memory
