LTM II & III

Graf et al.'s (1985) study found that people experiencing amnesia:

• Could not recall words in an explicit memory test, but there was evidence that the words were still in their implicit memories

• Could perform well on an implicit memory test, but there was evidence that the words were still in their explicit memories

• Did just as well as the other groups on both the explicit and implicit memory tests

• Did poorly on both the explicit and implicit memory tests

With __________ encoding, a person is only focused on the physical features of a word

• Shallow encoding

• Intermediate encoding

• Deep encoding

Which would be an example of deep encoding?

• Asking if a word rhymes with the test word

• Asking whether a word has an accent mark

• Asking whether a person relates to the presented word

The Standard Model of Consolidation says that

• In Stage 1 there are strong connections between the hippocampus and the cortex

• Hippocampus activity does not decrease over time

• The hippocampus doesn't play a role in consolidation

• The connections in the cortex weaken over time

The tendency for middle aged and elderly people to recall more personal memories from approximately 10-30 years of age than from other times in their life describes:

• The Reminiscence Bump

• Something that doesn't happen

• The Multiple Trace Model of Consolidation

• The Standard Model of Consolidation

Which of the following is not one of the possible explanations for the Reminiscence Bump we talked about in class?

• The Graded Degradation Hypothesis

• The Self Image Hypothesis

• The Cultural Script Hypothesis

• The Cognitive Hypothesis

Which of the following is FALSE about flashbulb memories?

• Flashbulb memories are vivid memories for highly emotional events

• People tend to believe that these memories are highly accurate

• These memories fade just like other episodic memories

• These memories are special and don't fade in the same way other episodic memories do

Determining the origins of our memories is

• Source misattribution

• A flashbulb memory

• An example of a "script"

• Source monitoring
