Memory Quiz

What is the process by which we get information into our brains?

• Recall

• Retrieval

• Storage

• Encoding

With regards to information-processing models for memory, what is the process during which information is retained?

• Storage

• Recognition

• Recall

• Encoding

Some memories are stored in terms of their meaning.  Which type of encoding is this?

• Visual
• Acoustic
• Semantic
• Tactile

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

Being able to recall words at the start of a list refers to:

• Recency effect
• Primacy effect
• Serial position curve
• Independent variable
