Memory and Perception '23

In Murdock's serial position study, what pattern did he find?

• Words in the middle and end of the list were best recalled.

• Words at the beginning and end of list were recalled; words in the middle forgotten.

• Words in the middle went into long term memory so were forgotten.

• Words at the end went into long-term memory so were best recalled.

In Bartlett's war of the ghosts study, why did participants recall different details (i.e. they changed the word canoe to boat)?

• Because they only listened to the general idea of the story.

• Because they didn't pay attention to the story so forgot the details.

• Because they forgot the word canoe.

• Because they recalled the story in a way that made sense to them.

In Bartlett's reconstructive theory, effort after meaning means:

• reconstructing a memory so that it makes sense.

• putting the effort into recalling the meaning of a memory.

• recalling a memory in general first, then adding the details as you reconstruct it.

• reconstructing every detail of a memory.

In Atkinson Shiffrin's multi store memory model....

• memory is said to go from short term to sensory to long term.

• paying attention will move information from sensory to short-term memory

• long term memory is a store which has three different compartments

• short term memory disappears in 7 minutes if not rehearsed

Three types of long-term memory are semantic, episodic and

Three types of encoding are visual, auditory and

semantic encoding is

• encoding with meaning

• encoding with reason

• encoding with practice

• encoding with facts

Semantic memory is your memory for

Learning and recalling something in the same situation or environment relates to

• culture

• false memories

• interference

• context

Free recall is

• when we freely recall something

• when we remember information without hints

• when we remember information by recognising the right answer

• when we remember information with a hint
