Memory Types and Functions QUIZS

Role of semantic memory

• Tied to personal experiences and emotions.

• Not tied to personal experiences but rather to general information we have learned.

• Only related to visual memory and recognition.

• Involves the ability to recall specific events and details.

Visuospatial sketchpad in the working memory model.

• Processes and temporarily stores visual and spatial information.

• Handles auditory information and verbal tasks.

• Stores long-term memories and retrieves them when needed.

• Regulates emotional responses and decision-making.

Levels of processing model

• A theory suggesting that the depth of information processing affects how well it is remembered.

• A model that categorizes memory into short-term and long-term storage.

• A framework that explains how sensory information is transformed into memories.

• A hypothesis that states memory is solely based on repetition.

Phonemic encoding focuses on how a word sounds when spoken.

• It is a high-level processing method.

• It is a low-level processing method.

• It is a mid-level processing method.

• It is an irrelevant processing method.

Iconic memory

• A type of sensory memory that provides a continuous visual experience by retaining an image for a fraction of a second after the stimulus is removed.

• A type of long-term memory that stores information for extended periods.

• A type of auditory memory that retains sounds for a short duration.

• A type of memory that involves the recall of facts and events.

Short-term memory duration

• Information is temporarily stored for about 20-30 seconds.

• Information is stored for several hours.

• Information is stored indefinitely until forgotten.

• Information is stored for 1-2 minutes.

Structural encoding is a basic level of processing.

• This level of processing typically leads to poorer memory retention.

• This level of processing enhances memory retention significantly.

• This level of processing is the most effective for long-term memory.

• This level of processing is irrelevant to memory retention.

Role of long-term memory

• Essential for retaining information over extended periods and retrieving it when needed.

• A temporary storage for information that is quickly forgotten.

• A method for processing information in the short term.

• A way to enhance immediate recall of facts.

Iconic memory example

• The brief afterimage seen when looking at a bright light and then closing your eyes.

• A vivid recollection of a past event that is easily recalled.

• The ability to remember information for a short period of time after it has been presented.

• A type of long-term memory that involves the storage of facts and events.

Components of sensory memory.

• Consists of iconic memory (visual information) and echoic memory (auditory information).

• Includes tactile memory (touch information) and gustatory memory (taste information).

• Comprises olfactory memory (smell information) and spatial memory (location information).

• Encompasses emotional memory (feelings) and procedural memory (skills).
