HL Revision Cognitive Approach

What is the name of the theory that states we store our memory in search engines?

• transactional memory

• The Bing Effect

• The Bilibili Effect

• The Google Effect

Which following statements the "transactive memories" are true?

• They are more than the sum total of memories stored by the members of the group.

• They always include knowledge of where information can be found and how to access it.

• People remember information rather than how to get that information.

• Humans' ability to memorize things will be harmed by the mechanism of trasactive memories.

• Collaboration between members may be essential to the retrieval of information.

Transactive memory can best be defined as:

• Numerical memories - that is, memories based on data.

• Memories that are formed by interacting with other people.

• When people in relationships have a division of labor with specific role with regard to the encoding, storage and retrieval of information from different knowledge domains.

• Memories that are less stable than flashbulb memory; they are the memories that are most open to distortion.

When we base our beliefs on a limited set of research which aligns with our own thinking, this is called

• Publication bias

• Observation bias

• The Fundamental Attribution Error

• Confirmation bias

Which of the following is a not a limitation of the Storm et al study on the use of Google searches?

• There was no control group.

• There was sampling bias - as all of the participants were university students.

• The studies results could be due to participant variability; the sample was small with only 20 particpants in each condition.

• The study tested the participants immediately after the first phase with a very similar task; the study does not let us know the long term effects of Google searching.

The results of Sparrow et al's (2011) follow up study showed that

• Participants remembered the trivia information but struggled to remember the location of the information.

• Participants remembered the location of the trivia information better than the trivia information itself.

• People demonstrated more effort to remember the trivia when they knew where it was located.

• There was no significant difference between the trivia information remembered and the location of the information.
