Understanding Repetition and Memory

What role does the thalamus play in processing sensory information?

• It filters stimuli through selective filtering.

• It stores long-term memory.

• It generates sensory stimuli.

• It blocks all sensory information.

How is information stored in the brain after being processed?

• In long-term memory directly.

• In sensory memory.

• In the thalamus.

• In short-term memory.

What happens to information in the brain if it is not retrieved or repeated?

• It is processed into long-term memory.

• It is stored permanently.

• It is forgotten.

• It becomes part of sensory memory.

What is a recommended method to enhance retention of information?

• Ignoring the information.

• Spaced repetition.

• Cramming all at once.

• Listening without taking notes.

What should you do first when asked to deliver a speech on a topic?

• Start writing the speech immediately.

• Gather information by reading and watching videos.

• Practice the speech without preparation.

• Memorize facts randomly.

How does practicing a speech contribute to learning?

• It overloads the brain with information.

• It stores information in sensory memory.

• It is a form of repetition.

• It filters unnecessary information.

What is the effect of not using repetition in learning?

• Information is likely forgotten.

• Faster processing of new information.

• Immediate mastery of information.

• Enhanced long-term memory.

Which of the following is true about the processing of stimuli by the brain?

• All stimuli are processed at once.

• Stimuli are stored in the thalamus.

• Only related stimuli are processed.

• The brain cannot filter stimuli.
