Memory and Learning Quiz

According to the Elaboration Principle, when is memory for an event best remembered?

• When the event is unique and stands alone

• When you connect that event to other things you already know

• When the event occurs frequently

• When the event is recorded in writing

What does the Organization Principle suggest about memory?

• Memory is best when it is stored in a chronological order

• Memory is best when events are related to each other at the time of encoding

• Memory is best when it is rehearsed repeatedly

• Memory is best when it is stored in isolation from other events

What is the retention interval?

Which of the following is a hypothesis about why forgetting occurs over time?

• Consolidation Success

• Displacement

• Memory enhancement

• Instantaneous encoding

What is the difference between consolidation failure and decay?

What does Jenkins & Dallenbach (1924) suggest about learning before sleep?

• Learning before sleep is less effective than learning after waking up

• Learning before sleep is more effective than learning before a day's activities

• There is no difference in learning before or after sleep

• Learning after sleep is more effective than learning before sleep
