Psychology GCSE AQA Paper 1

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

• semantic

• acoustic

• tactile

• visual

Holding information in memory is known as

• retrieval

• encoding

• storage

A weakness of the Multi store memory model is

• there is research that shows the difference between the STM and LTM stores

• having one STM and one LTM store is too simplistic

• there are in fact three different STM stores

'Word lists were used which is only one type of memory, so the study lacks validity' is a weakness for which study?

• Bartlett's study

• Murdock's study

• Gibson's study

• Atkinson-Shiffrin's study

The theory of reconstructive memory suggests that

• we recall things like in a film

• memory is not an active process

• memory is not an exact copy of an experience

• words at the beginning of a list are better remembered

Which of these is a factor affecting memory?

• context

• encoding

• reconstruction

• rehearsal

Sensation is

• how we process information received through our senses

• what we sense with our five senses

• the information we pick up through our senses

Which of these is NOT a misinterpreted depth cue?

• Rubin's vase

• The Ames room

• The Ponzo illusion

• The Muller-Lyer illusion

Which of these are ambiguous illusions (pick TWO)

• Rubin's vase

• Necker cube

• Ponzo illusion

• Kanisza triangle

Gibson suggested

• sensation and perception are not the same thing

• the eyes detect everything we need without having to make inferences

• perception is learned rather than innate

• visual illusions occur because of incorrect conclusions from visual cues
