Which one of these is a descriptor of episodic memory?

A memory of a personal experience

Baddeley's main aim was to find out...

If STM and LTM use different types of encoding

How does Murdock's study support the Multi-sore model?

Primacy effect shows LTM and recency shows STM

Murdock used lists of words, which means that the study

Only tells us some of the ways memory is used everyday

The DV of Murdock's study was the...

Probability of words being correctly recalled

The central executive...

monitor and coordinates all other mental functions in memory

An example of sensory memory in action is:

Seeing name written in air with a sparkler

Deffenbacher et al investigated lab studies in anxiety and EWT. What did they do?

Meta-analysis of 34 studies: anxiety=less accuracy

A serious weakness of Godden and Baddeley's study is:

Dosen't tell us about memories over days and weeks

Godden and Baddeley concluded that environmental context is:

Cue right triggers accurate recall

What is a criticism of research into factors that affect the accuracy of memory?

Raises ethical concerns, Lacks ecological validity

6
In Loftus and Pickerll's study, PPTs were falsely told that as a child they had:
Kicked Santa claus
Bitten the dentist
Fallen out of bed
became lost in a shopping mall
7
Baddeley's main aim was to find out...
If STM and LTM use different types of encoding
Where memory is in the brain
How long information is stored for in STM
Which words are semantically similar
8
How does Murdock's study support the Multi-sore model?
It dosent support it
Primacy effect shows LTM and recency shows STM
Serial position curve involves sensory memory
Primacy effect shows STM and recency shows LTM
9
Learning something by putting it into music is an example of:
Visual encoding
Tactile encoding
Acoustic encoding
Retrieval
10
In brain scans, which part of the brain is associated with semantic memory ?
Premotor area
motor cortex
right prefrontal cortex
Left prefrontal cortex
11
A weakness of Loftus and Pickrell's study is:
investigates severely traumatic false memories
Is has applications to the real world
It raises ethical issues
uses unrealistic material
12
Being able to recall the words at the start of a list is refers to
Primacy
Serial position curve
DV of the study
Recency
13
Criticism of interference is that the effect is just temporary and disappears if:
Counterbalancing is used
PPTs concentrate more
Recall is triggered by cue
Experiments are better controlled.
14
Coding is mostly acoustic and capacity is between 5-9 items, Which store is being described?
Visual
Sensory
STM
Declarative
15
Answering a multiple choice question in an exam is an example of
Recognition
Free recall
Acoustic encoding
Semantic encoding
16
The three stages of the memory process in the correct order are:
Encode, retrieval, storage
Visual encoding, acoustic encoding, retrieval
Encoding, Storage, retrieval
Encoding, recognition, retrieval
17
Murdock used lists of words, which means that the study
Tested a wide range of memory skills
was a lab experiment
Not very well controlled
Only tells us some of the ways memory is used everyday
18
Godden and Baddeley studied:
Rugby players
Swimmers
Fishermen
Diving club members
19
Interference causes:
Forgetting
Hunger
Retrieval
Memory capacity
20
The best recall in this study happened when words were learned:
underwater and recall underwater
on beach and recall on beach
on beach and recall underwater
Underwater and recall on beach
21
Flase memories are based on the concept of:
Acoustic encoding
Reconstructive memory
Repeated reproductions
The serial position effect
22
McGeoch + McDonald concluded that the factor making interference strongest is...
Number of items on second list
Similarity
Size of STM
The number of words
23
The DV of Murdock's study was the...
Primacy and recency effect
total number of words correctly recalled
Probability of words being correctly recalled
Position of the words in the list
24
The 3 types of LTM are:
recognition, acoustic, episodic
episodic, acoustic, semantic
episodic, semantic, procedural
visual, semantic, procedural
25
The central executive...
monitors how information is understood
monitors information and outs into LTM
monitors the amount of information entering STM
monitor and coordinates all other mental functions in memory
26
Reconstruction shows memory is:
Consistent over time
Acoustically encoded
An active process
Always accurate
27
McGeoch + McDonald ppts had to learn word lists which had how many words in them.
15
5
10
20
28

50%
100%
25%
75%
29
Baddeley's experiment was well conntrolled. An example of this was:

37
A major influence on reconstructive memory is:
