'Coding is acoustic, capacity is limited and duration is between 18 and 30 seconds.' Which memory store is being described?
Sensory register
Long-term memory
Short-term memory
Procedural memory
The term coding refers to what?
The format in which information is stored in memory
The length of time information is stored for in memory
The amount of information that can be stored in memory at any one time
The transfer of information from one memory store to another
Which of these statements best describes LTM?
Memory store with limited capacity and acoustic coding
Permanent memory store, with semantic coding
Temporary memory store with visual coding
Memory store with semantic coding and limited capacity
Peterson and Peterson investigated:
The capacity of STM
The duration of STM
The coding of STM
The duration of LTM
Which of the following are features of the sensory register?
It has a capacity of seven items, plus or minus two.
Memories in the register can last up to a lifetime.
The capacity if very large
Coding is semantic
The multi-store model describes which of following memory stores?
Short-term memory and long-term memory only
Sensory register, long-term memory and short-term memory
Episodic memory, semantic memory and procedural memory
Good memory and poor memory
'The process by which information is held in STM by repeating over and over again.' What is being described here?
Retrieval
Consolidation
Elaborative rehearsal
Maintenance rehearsal
The case of HM supports the multi-store model because he:
Had a poor LTM and poor STM
Had a good immediate memory span but could not remember whom he had spoken to just one hour earlier.
Could never learn a new skill or remember practising it
Had a good STM span for digits but a poor one for letters
Which of the following are most likely to be stored in episodic long-term memory
Memories for facts such as 'Elizabeth Loftus is a psychologist.'
Memories of events that have happened to us at various times, involving other people and places.
Our knowledge of what words mean.
Memories of our skilled actions, such as being able to play the guitar.
Cohen and Squire disagree with Tulving's three types of LTM. Which of the following do they suggest instead?
Declarative memory and procedural memory
Short-term memory and long-term memory
Episodic memory and semantic memory
Sensory memory and iconic memory
'Time-stamped and needs to be consciously searched' is a description of which type of long-term memory?
Very long-term memory
Procedural memory
Episodic memory
Semantic memory
Which specific area of the brain is important in recalling both semantic and episodic memories?
The hippocampus
The cererbral cortex
The prefrontal cortex
The amygdala
'Brings together different types of information into a single memory' is a description of which component of the working memory model.
Central Executive
Episodic Buffer
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
The case study of KF supports the WMM because he had:
A poor STM but intact LTM
Poor STM for verbal material but near-normal STM for visual information
A near-normal STM but could not recall events from long ago
No ability to learn new skills
The phonological loop of working memory is divided into two elements. These are:
The central executive and long-term memory
The phonological store and the articulatory process
The visuo-spatial sketchpad and the episode buffer
Short-term memory and long-term memory
Which component of the WMM links working memory with LTM?
Central executive
Episodic buffer
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Inference is an explanation for forgetting from which memory store?
Sensory register
Iconic memory
Echoic memory
Long-term memory
Which of the following statements is the best definition of eyewitness testimony?
Our ability to remember such things as facts and figures
How people remember the details of events they have observed themselves, such as crimes and accidents
Our memories for people's names and faces
Memories that last for weeks, months or even years.
Which of the following is the best example of a leading question?
Are you or are you not a zombie, Mr Jackman?
Why is there never a zombie around when you need one?
How many years have you been a zombie for?
Do you think the zombie apocalypse has finally arrived?
Which of the following sequences of verbs did Loftus and Palmer (1974) use in their study?
Contacted; pranged; hit; collided; smashed
Touched, bumped, hit, collided, smashed
Contacted, bumped, hit, collided, smashed
Contacted, bumped, hit, walloped, smashed
Two of the main techniques of the cognitive interview are:
Change perspective and reinstate the context
Change perspective and change your opinion
Report everything and use retrieval cues
Reverse the order and answer the interviewer's questions.
The enhanced cognitive interview uses the four techniques of the CI. It also
Is a lot quicker
Is more widely used
Gets the witness to speak slowly
Is nearly effective as the CI
Two of the main techniques of the CI are based on
Tulving's encoding specificity principle
Miller's research into the capacity of STM
The multi-store model of memory
Baddeley's research into coding in memory
A significant limitation of the CI is
It is time-consuming for the police to use
It is less effective than the standard police interview
Some aspects of it are more useful than others
It is not supported by the bulk of psychological research into how human memory works.
Real life studies of anxiety and EWT have found that:
High levels of anxiety are associated with low levels of recall
High levels of anxiety are associated with high levels of recall
Anxiety and recall are not related
The findings from lab studies are correct
