Unit 2B Memory

When learning a new language interferes with the ability to remember vocabulary from a previously learned language, this phenomenon is known as:

• Proactive interference

• Retroactive interference

• Context-dependent memory

• Semantic memory

The tendency to remember items at the beginning of a list better than those in the middle is known as:

• Recency effect

• Primacy effect

• Context-dependent memory

• Episodic memory

Remembering your high school graduation is an example of:

• Semantic memory

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Implicit memory

The knowledge of facts and concepts, such as knowing that Paris is the capital of France, is known as:

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory

• Autobiographical memory

Knowing how to ride a bike is an example of:

• Semantic memory

• Procedural memory

• Explicit memory

• Implicit memory

A student recalls information better when taking a test in the same room where they studied. This illustrates:

• Context-dependent memory

• State-dependent memory

• The testing effect

• Automatic processing

When asked to write down everything you remember from a recent lecture, you are using:

• Recognition

• Recall

• Retrieval cues

• Chunking

Identifying the correct answer on a multiple-choice test relies primarily on:

• Recall

• Recognition

• Semantic encoding

• Maintenance rehearsal

Studying for a test by spreading out study sessions over several days rather than cramming is known as:

• Massed practice

• Context-dependent memory

• Rehearsal

• Distributed practice

Remembering to pick up groceries after work is an example of:

• Semantic memory
