Cognitive Approach to Understanding Behavior Quiz

Discuss the role of reconstructive memory in eyewitness testimony.

• Reconstructive memory has no impact on eyewitness testimony

• Eyewitnesses never experience false memories

• Eyewitness testimony is always accurate and reliable

• Reconstructive memory can lead to inaccuracies or false memories in eyewitness testimony.

What are the factors that can influence the accuracy of flashbulb memories?

• Emotional intensity, personal relevance, rehearsal, and social interaction

• Distance from the event

• Type of camera used

• Color of the flashbulb

Compare and contrast the multi model store of memory with other memory models.

• The multi model store of memory is exactly the same as other memory models

• The multi model store of memory differs from other memory models in its ability to store and retrieve data using multiple data models, such as graph, document, and key-value, while other memory models may be limited to a single data model.

• The multi model store of memory can only store and retrieve data using a single data model

• Other memory models can also store and retrieve data using multiple data models

How can Schema Theory be applied in educational settings to enhance learning?

• By ignoring students' prior knowledge and experiences

• By using only rote memorization and repetition

• By using prior knowledge and experiences to help students make connections and understand new information.

• By discouraging students from making connections between new and old information

Discuss the implications of reconstructive memory in criminal investigations.

• Reconstructive memory always leads to accurate eyewitness testimonies

• Criminal investigations are not affected by reconstructive memory

• Reconstructive memory has no impact on criminal investigations

• Reconstructive memory can lead to inaccurate or false eyewitness testimonies in criminal investigations.

Explain the role of the central executive in the working memory model.

• It has no role in the working memory model

• It is responsible for long-term memory retrieval

• It controls attention, coordinates the activities of the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad, and integrates information from long-term memory.

• It only controls the phonological loop

There are three stages of the way we process things into our memory

• encoding, storage and retrieval. 

• semantic and procedural memory

• auditory and visual memory

What is the capacity of short-term memory, as proposed by the multi-store model?

• Unlimited

• 7 plus or minus 2 items

• 20 items

• 100 items

What criticism has been raised against the multi-store model of memory, suggesting that it oversimplifies the complexities of memory processes?

• Lack of empirical evidence

• Overemphasis on sensory memory

• Limited focus on short-term memory

• The model's static nature and linear representation of memory

According to the working memory model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch, what are the main components of working memory?

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

• Central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketpad and episodic buffer

• Encoding, storage, and retrieval

• Immediate memory, intermediate memory, and delayed memory
