Modules 22-24: Memory

When an eyewitness to a robbery is asked to describe what happened, which measure of memory is being used?

• Recall

• Recognition

• Rehearsal

• Memory

Maia's research on birds requires the use of different neural networks to simultaneously encode the sights, sounds, and smells of the environment the birds effectively live in. This best illustrates

• implicit memory

• effortful processing

• parallel processing

• chunking

Sofia knows that Inez Beverly Prosser is the first African American woman to receive her PhD in Psychology. This is an example of a(n)

• non declarative memory

• sensory memory

• explicit memory

• implicit memory

Which part of the brain helps process explicit memories for storage?

• hypothalamus

• basal ganglia

• cerebellum

• hippocampus

A good night's sleep improves recall of the previous day's events by facilitating the transfer of memories from the

• amygdala to the hippocampus

• hippocampus to the cerebral cortex

• cerebral cortex to the basal ganglia

• basal ganglia to the cerebellum

Cerebellum is to _______ memory as hippocampus is to _______ memory

• long-term; working

• explicit; implicit

• working; long-term

• implicit; explicit

We are unable to consciously attend the most of the sights and sounds that are continually bombarding us. This fact most clearly contributes to

• storage decay.

• retroactive interference.

• encoding failure.

• repression.

The correct order of memory to get in and back out of our brains is:

• storage, encoding, sensory, working, long-term, retrieval

• sensory, working, encoding, long-term, storage, retrieval

• working, sensory, encoding, long-term, storage, retrieval

• storage, retrieval, working, long-term, encoding, sensory

_________________ encoding involves items that get into our brain without our conscious awareness while ___________________ encoding requires attention, deep processing, and repetition to remember the items.

• Effortful; automatic

• Automatic; cerebellum

• Automatic; effortful

• Hippocampus; cerebellum

This mnemonic creates smaller bits of information from larger items, so there is less to remember:

• peg words

• chunking

• loci

• spacing
