Jane memorizes a grocery list by mentally placing each item along a familiar walking route in her neighborhood. This is an example of:

• Massed practice

• Method of loci

• Distributed practice

• Encoding specificity

A student uses the method of loci to remember key points by visualizing them at locations around their home. This technique primarily aids memory through:

• Auditory rehearsal

• Spatial association

• Semantic encoding

• Recognition

In a memory test, participants who linked facts to familiar landmarks recalled them better than those who just repeated facts. This supports the effectiveness of:

• Method of loci

• Distributed practice

• Chunking

• Encoding failure

A system where complex information is organized into broad categories and further subdivided is known as:

• Hierarchy

• Encoding specificity

• Method of loci

• Procedural memory

Which term describes a structured organization of information into categories and subcategories?

• Distributed practice

• Hierarchy

• Massed practice

• Working memory

A teacher organizes lessons by starting with broad concepts, then breaking them into detailed topics. This teaching style reflects:

• Method of loci

• Massed practice

• Hierarchy

• Encoding failure

When studying, Sarah groups related ideas under main themes and further breaks those down into subtopics. This learning approach exemplifies:

• Hierarchy

• Distributed practice

• Mnemonic devices

• Echoic memory

A study finds students recall information better when it is presented as categories and subcategories rather than random facts, supporting the use of:

• Hierarchy

• Massed practice

• Encoding failure

• Source amnesia

Studying a large amount of information in one continuous session without breaks is called:

• Distributed practice

• Massed practice

• Method of loci

• Hierarchy

Which term refers to cramming information during a short, uninterrupted period?

• Massed practice

• Chunking

• Distributed practice

• Encoding specificity
