Memory lesson

What is the primary difference between memory and metacognition?

• Memory is information that persists over time, while metacognition is the awareness of one's own cognitive processes.

• Memory is a conscious recall of information, while metacognition is an unconscious process.

• Metacognition is a subtype of memory, specifically explicit memory.

• Memory involves motor skills and routines, while metacognition involves personal experiences.

Which two types of memory are considered subtypes of explicit memory?

• Procedural and prospective memory

• Episodic and semantic memory

• Implicit and explicit memory

• Sensory and short-term memory

Are you going to encode this video lesson?

• Yes

• No

Which of the following are the four main components of the Working Memory Model?

• Iconic memory, echoic memory, long-term memory, and short-term memory

• Visuospatial sketchpad, phonological loop, central executive, and episodic buffer

• Maintenance rehearsal, elaborative rehearsal, automatic processing, and effortful processing

• Stimulus, sensory memory, attention, and encoding

How do maintenance rehearsal and elaborative rehearsal differ in their approach to retaining information?

• Maintenance rehearsal focuses on understanding new information, while elaborative rehearsal involves rote repetition.

• Maintenance rehearsal involves repeatedly going over information to prevent forgetting, while elaborative rehearsal connects new information to something already known.

• Elaborative rehearsal is an automatic process, whereas maintenance rehearsal requires conscious effort.

• Elaborative rehearsal is primarily for short-term memory, while maintenance rehearsal is for long-term memory.

Which level of processing focuses on the meaning or context of information?

• Structural processing

• Phonemic processing

• Semantic processing

• Superficial processing

What type of encoding involves pairing new information with prior knowledge?

• Visual encoding

• Acoustic encoding

• Elaborative encoding

• Organizational encoding

What is the primary benefit of distributed practice, also known as the spacing effect?

• It allows for cramming information into a single, intense study session.

• It helps the brain better encode and store information over time.

• It reduces the need for active recall during study sessions.

• It focuses solely on memorizing information through repetition.

According to the serial position effect, which items in a list are people most likely to remember?

• Items in the middle of the list.

• Items at the beginning and end of the list.

• Only items that are repeated multiple times.

• Items that are visually distinct from others.
