The three stages of the Atkinson-Shriffrin process of memory are...

• iconic, echoic, encoding.

• sensory, short-term, long-term.

• shallow, medium, and deep processing.

• semantic, episodic, procedural.

• cerebellum, temporal lobe, hippocampus.

Which of the following examples best illustrates episodic memory?

• Telling someone how to tie a shoe.

• Answering correctly that the Battle of Hastings was in 1066.

• Knowing that the word for black in French is noir.

• Remembering that a clown was at your fifth birthday party.

• Long-term memory for the times tables learned in second grade.

According to the levels of processing theory of memory,...

• we remember items that are repeated again and again.

• maintenance rehearsal will encode items into our long-term memory.

• deep processing involves elaborative rehearsal, ensuring encoding into long-term memory.

• input, output, and storage are the three levels.

• we can only hold seven items in our short-term memory store before it is full.
