What is a schema?

• A way of turning sensory information into information we can process

• A way of retaining information in our memory system

• The process of storing something we can see

• A mental framework about people/places and things

What does the term 'active reconstruction' mean?

• When we leave out information that is unfamiliar to us

• When we fill in the gaps in our memory with our cultural assumptions

• When details are changed to make them more familiar

What were the findings of Bartlett's study?

• They changed the story to make it easier to remember, sometimes missing out parts that don't make sense

• They found that on average people can remember between 5-9 chunks of information

• They found that short-term memory last approximately 18-30 seconds, when remembering unfamiliar information

• They found that people processed information acoustically in short-term memory and semantically in long-term memory

Which of these is not a type of schema?

• When we leave out unfamiliar, irrelevant or unpleasant details when remembering something

• Details are changed to make them more familiar

• We change unfamiliar details to align with our already existing schema's

• We add details into our recall to give reasons for something that may not originally fit our schema

• Adding details to a story you tell, even though you know they are incorrect

The multi-store model has three stores, which order do they go in? (left to right)

• Sensory store, short-term memory, long-term memory

• Sensory store, long-term memory, short-term memory

• Short-term memory, long-term memory, sensory store

• Short-term memory, sensory store, long-term memory

Information is transferred into one store from another and then retrieved back again. Which two stores does this happen between?

• sensory store and short-term memory

• short-term memory and long-term memory

• long-term memory and sensory register

What were the results of Peterson and Peterson's study? (tick all that apply)

• After 3 seconds they could recall 80% of the trigrams

• After 15 seconds they could recall 10% of the trigrams

• In the vocal group participants improved the repetition in the silent group, they didn't

• In the silent group participants improved the repetition in the vocal group, they didn't
