1000 chapter 7 memory

The first step of memory involves

• recalling memories similar to present sensory inputs.

• encoding sensory experiences.

• recalling memories (generally).

• rehearsing an experience repeatedly.

Encoding is driven by attention.

• true

• false

Which of the following is TRUE about effortful processing?

• Experiences stored with effortful processing are less likely to be recalled.

• Episodic memory involves effortful processing.

• It is the basis of semantic memory.

• It is the basis of implicit memory.

• mnemonic device

• fruitful imaginary processing

• solidification technique

• baseline encoding process

For which state of long-term memory formation is sleep vital?

• consolidation

• encoding

• storage

• recall

Which of the following is TRUE about storage as a processing stage in long-term memory?

• A stored memory is resistant to distraction, interference, and decay.

• Storage refers to processes like remembering where one put a birthday gift one had bought earlier.

• The process of storing is driven by attention.

• Memories are stored in at least 3 ways: hierarchies, schemas, and networks.

In the context of memory formation, which of the following statements is TRUE of an associative network?

• Each node is an information-processing unit.

• An associative network stores nondeclarative memories.

• An associative network simulates sensory networks.

• The closer concepts in an associative network are to each other, the more directly related they are.
