What are the three main types of memory?

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

• Immediate memory, delayed memory, procedural memory

• Short-term recall, long-term recall, working memory

• Visual memory, auditory memory, emotional memory

Describe the process of encoding in memory.

• Encoding is the act of retrieving stored memories from long-term storage.

• Encoding involves only visual input without any sensory transformation.

• Encoding is the process of forgetting information over time.

• Encoding in memory is the process of transforming sensory input into a format that can be stored and later retrieved.

What role does storage play in memory retention?

• Storage is irrelevant to the process of learning.

• Storage only affects short-term memory.

• Storage has no impact on memory retention.

• Storage is essential for retaining information and facilitating memory retrieval.

Explain the difference between short-term and long-term memory.

• Short-term memory is temporary and limited, while long-term memory is permanent and extensive.

• Short-term memory is used for skills, while long-term memory is for facts and events.

• Short-term memory can hold unlimited information, whereas long-term memory is restricted.

• Short-term memory is permanent and extensive, while long-term memory is temporary and limited.

Identify one factor that can enhance memory recall.

• Repetition of information

• Mnemonic devices

• Listening to music while studying

• Taking long breaks between study sessions

What are mnemonic devices and how do they aid memory?

• Mnemonic devices are primarily used for cooking recipes.

• Mnemonic devices aid memory by creating associations that enhance recall and retention of information.

• Mnemonic devices are a type of physical exercise.

• Mnemonic devices are only useful for math problems.

The first stage of memory that involves information bombarding us every second.  

• sensory memory
• short-term memory
• automatic processing
• effortful processing

How does chunking help in increasing memory capacity?

• By overwhelming the brain with too much information at once

• By breaking down information into smaller, more manageable parts

• By focusing on one large piece of information at a time

• By memorizing information in random order
