Which type of processing encodes the sound of something, such as a screech or a song?

• Visual encoding

• Semantic encoding

• Phonemic processing

• Implicit processing

When we encode the sound of something, like the word “locust,” we are using:

• Semantic memory

• Structural memory

• Phonemic processing

• Implicit learning

During a memory experiment, participants asked to focus on how a word sounds—rather than its meaning or appearance—are using:

• Structural processing

• Phonemic processing

• Visual rehearsal

• Long-term recall

A teacher asks students to rhyme words to help remember them. This method is most related to:

• Phonemic processing

• Structural processing

• Semantic encoding

• Episodic memory

Someone remembers a friend’s name by focusing on the way it rhymes with another word. This is an example of:

• Semantic association

• Phonemic processing

• Implicit rehearsal

• Episodic memory

What is the term for encoding the meaning of a word and relating it to other words with similar meanings?

• Phonemic processing

• Semantic processing

• Structural encoding

• Episodic memory

Encoding the meaning of a word and relating it to similar words with similar meanings is called:

• Semantic processing

• Phonemic processing

• Procedural encoding

• Visual rehearsal

When a student groups vocabulary terms based on meaning rather than spelling or sound, they are using:

• Structural processing

• Semantic processing

• Implicit rehearsal

• Echoic encoding

In a study, students who relate new vocabulary to known concepts perform better on retention tests. This strategy reflects:

• Semantic processing

• Structural encoding

• Procedural memory

• Phonemic rehearsal

A student remembers the word “freedom” by connecting it with concepts like liberty and independence. This best illustrates:

• Phonemic rehearsal

• Semantic processing

• Procedural memory

• Structural processing
