Memory - Psychology Paper 1 quiz

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

Remembering how to perform actions is an example of:

• Episodic memory
• Procedural memory
• Semantic memory
• Declarative memory

Encoding is mostly acoustic and capacity is between 5 and 9 items.  Which memory is this?

• Short term memory
• Sensory memory
• Visual memory
• Long term memory

An example of sensory memory in action is:

• Recognising a friend in the street
• Repeating someone's phone number back to yourself
• Seeing your name written in the air with a sparkler
• Remembering the answer to an exam question

Information goes into our long term memory through:

• Attention
• Rehearsal
• Retrieval
• Semantic

Information goes into our long term memory through:

• Attention
• Rehearsal
• Retrieval
• Semantic

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
