Theories Paper 1

In order for information to go from short-term store to long term, you have to

• notice something

• pay attention to something

• rehearse something

A weakness of the multi-store memory model is

• Our memory is inaccurate

• Sometimes we remember events with rehearsal

• Sometimes we remember events without rehearsal

• Our sensory store is bigger than it looks

Which one of these does NOT link to Bartlett's reconstructive theory

• memory is inaccurate and two people will remember an event differently

• memory is an active process whereby we reconstruct a memory piece by piece

• when we remember we recall a general meaning first, then details

• if we want to reconstruct a memory accurately we have to rehearse it

Which one of these statements is a definition of motion parallax?

• the horizon point remains the same but the world speeds past us

• the objects nearer us move faster than those further away

• our eyes give us everything we need

• this is a monocular depth cue which helps pilots land planes

Gregory said perception is something that is learned, influenced by nurture. He explained this by suggesting:

• experience and expectation influence how we perceive the world

• when something is ambiguous we use inferences

• visual illusions help us make sense of the world

• we build our perception skills as a baby

Dweck suggested praising children for effort increases growth mindset. This has come under criticism because

• praise isn't the be all and end all

• a child should want to succeed for themselves, not praise

• praise for talent is also important

• challenge is just as important as praise

Someone with a fixed mindset is more focused on

• learning goals

• failing

• performance goals

• challenge

When a child assimilates information they are

• creating a new schema

• revising a schema

• creating a schema

• adding details to an existing schema

What did Willingham say was more important than learning styles?

• memory techniques to improve recall

• having children's brains scanned so that they can get the help they need

• always learning geography with a visual learning style

• always doing art using visual cues

Bartlett said memory is an active process. By this he meant

• we have to be active when recalling information

• we have to actively remember a memory

• we have to reconstruct memories, piece by piece

• we have to use memory techniques to recall a memory
