3 Memory

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of effective mnemonics?

• They are tangible and visual
• They create associations between information
• They are uncommon and abstract
• They are easy to remember

Which of the following is NOT a method for spacing out learning over time?

• Studying the same material at different times over a longer period of time.
• Studying for long periods of time without breaks.
• Studying the same material repeatedly in a short period of time.
• Studying different subjects in one sitting.

Which of the following is NOT a way to actively study and improve recall?

• Writing out a summary of what you've learned from memory.
• Passively reading over your notes or slides.
• Creating quizzes for yourself based on your notes or slides.
• Practicing with real problems and using concepts and formulas.

What is the role of mnemonics in memory?

• To improve working memory capacity
• To filter out irrelevant information
• To encode information in long-term memory
• To aid in memory retrieval

What is the Forgetting Curve and what does it imply about memory?

• The Forgetting Curve shows the importance of multiple connections in memory.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the rate at which we forget information over time.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the relationship between storage strength and retrieval strength in memory.
• The Forgetting Curve shows the role of repeated access in memory retention.

Which of the following is NOT a type of mnemonic?

• Chunking
• Acronyms
• Rhymes
• Repetition

According to the forget-to-learn theory, what are the two types of strength that memories have?

• Short-term strength and long-term strength
• Visual strength and auditory strength
• Storage strength and retrieval strength
• Encoding strength and filtering strength

What is the role of repeated access in memory retention?

• It increases retrieval strength
• It strengthens the neural pattern of a memory
• It organizes the library's catalog
• It helps filter out irrelevant information

What is the purpose of spacing out learning over time?

• To increase working memory capacity
• To allow new neural connections to solidify
• To prevent forgetting
• To improve sensory memory

Which of the following is NOT a reason for forgetting information?

• Overloading working memory
• Lack of encoding in long-term memory
• Insufficient time between learning
• Excessive use of mnemonics
