Memory and learning

What are the three stages of memory according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

• Visual memory, auditory memory, tactile memory

• Immediate memory, working memory, permanent memory

• Primary memory, secondary memory, tertiary memory

What is the capacity of short-term memory?

• 5 items, plus or minus 2

• 10 items, plus or minus 3

• 3 items, plus or minus 1

• 7 items, plus or minus 2

What is the difference between episodic and semantic memory?

• Episodic memory is the memory of specific events, while semantic memory is the memory of general knowledge and facts.

• Episodic memory is the memory of emotions, while semantic memory is the memory of skills and abilities.

• Episodic memory is the memory of past experiences, while semantic memory is the memory of future plans.

• Episodic memory is the memory of general knowledge and facts, while semantic memory is the memory of specific events.

What is the role of operant conditioning in learning?

• It involves reinforcement and punishment to modify behavior

• It is related to classical conditioning

• It focuses on cognitive processes

• It is not related to learning

How does extinction occur in classical conditioning?

• When the conditioned response decreases or disappears because the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus

• When the conditioned response increases due to repeated exposure to the conditioned stimulus

• When the unconditioned stimulus is presented without the conditioned stimulus

• When the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus
