5
How does the working memory model improve on earlier models of memory?
It applies across all cultures
It accounts for differences between the sexes
It shows that different stimuli may be encoded differently
It better accounts for sensory memory
6
What did Cole and Scribner determine about memory?
WOrking memory lasts only a few seconds
It can be affected by questioning
Process memories are stored differently than episodic ones
Memory is shaped by cultural and social experiences
7
According to the multi-store model of memory, how is information encoded into long term memory?
By receiving it though multiple types of stimuli
Repeated rehearsal and retrieval
Through music
Through repeated interpretation into sensory memory
8
The Speisman experiment can be used to support which psychological theory?
Multi-store model of memory
Two factor theory of emotion
Appraisal theory
Cognitive processing model of memory
9

10
Who conducted the study supporting the two factor theory of emotion?
Atkinson & Shiffrin
LeDoux
Loftus and Palmer
Damasio
11
Which of the following seems to be MOST true about memory?
Memory is entirely dependent upon the hippocampus
Memory has very little to do with physiological brain
Memory involves different brain areas working together
Memory is entirely dependent upon the amygdala
12
What is the main importance of Bartlett's study?
It supports the idea of the mind as a memory processor
It shows that memory is affected by cultural schemas
It disproves flashbulb memory
It supports the working model of memory
13
Glanzer & Cunitz verbal memory recall experiment can be used to support which theory?
Schema
Working memory theory
Multi-store model of memory
Two factor theory of emotion
14
What problematic method of gathering data did Brown & Kulik use to study FM?
Questionnaires
Online surveys
Group discussions
fMRI
15
Which IS NOT a weakness of schema theory?
Theory may focus too much on inaccuracies of memory
The concept of schema is very vague
There are very few studies supporting the theory
Formation of schema can't be tested
16
Which IS NOT a principle of CLOA?
Humans are info processors and processes guide behaviors
Cognitive proceses are guided by social and cultural factors
Behaviors have physiological correlates
The mind can be studied scientifically
17
LeDoux's theory of the emotional brain (the two path theory) supports which psychological idea?
The malleability of memory
Schema
Appraisal theory
The two factor theory of emotion
18
Which IS NOT a strength of schema theory?
It helps explain the reconstructive nature of memory
It helps explain stereotypes and confirmation bias
Schema are universal across cultures
It is useful in explaining many cognitive processes
19
