Module 7 Lesson 1

The persistence of learning over time most clearly depends on

• chunking.

• massed practice.

• visual encoding.

• memory.

The process of getting information out of memory is called

• encoding.

• relearning.

• retrieval.

• rehearsal.

Your activated but limited-capacity memory is called ________ memory.

We encode implicit memories by means of

• recall.

• automatic processing.

• mnemonics.

• working memory.

Explicit memories are

• classically conditioned associations that are automatically processed.

• memories of physical skills such as how to ride a bike.

• memories of facts and personal events that can be consciously retrieved.

• memories that are formed by massed practice rather than by distributed practice.

Memories for well-learned skills such as how to ride a bicycle are typically ________ memories.

• working

• implicit

• sensory

• explicit

Information about where, when, and how often you ate a meal in the last couple of days is likely to be

• a working memory.

• an iconic memory.

• automatically processed.

• an echoic memory.

_______is the organization of information into meaningful units.

The testing effect refers to the enhanced memory resulting from

• retrieving information from memory.

• the automatic processing of information.

• combining information into larger chunks.

• rereading previously studied information.

Which type of memory has an essentially limitless capacity?

• working memory

• short-term memory

• long-term memory

• flashbulb memory
