Answers

1
Which of these is not a key difference between memory for language and episodic memory?
Retrieval from episodic memory often described as “mental time travel”
Semantic memory is more resistant to forgetting/brain damage
Episodic memory is more resistant to forgetting/brain damage
Retrieval from semantic memory is often automatic
2
What of these is not a proposed cause of the word frequency effect?
Stronger ”base level activation” for HF words
HF have stronger associations to other HF words
HF words are more similar to other HF words e.g. semantically
Greater recognition memory for LF words
3
What is the law of practice?
Performance improves as a logarithmic function
Memories improve with repetition
Information is remembered better when time goes on and doesn't level off
Better memory at the start of the sequence, most common in lists
4
What evidence is not found by the MINERVA-DM
overweights rare events
availability heuristic
anchoring heuristic
representativeness heuristics
5
Which of the following is not a type of heuristic
Frequency Heuristic
Availability Heuristic
Representativeness Heuristic
Anchoring Heuristic
6
Which of the following best describes the reconstructive nature of memory?
Memory is a fixed and unchangeable record of past events.
A process of reconstructing past events based on available information.
Memory is a process of forgetting past events.
Memory is a perfect and accurate representation of past events.
7
What does Bounded Rationality mean?
Humans are viewed as rational beings and making rational decisions
Clinical prediction performs very poorly compared to statistical prediction
Humans choose rationally but are constrained by their limited search
Human often rely on heuristics
8
What is the decay theory?
Stored memories fade over time
Forgetting occurs because of competition between other information
That rehearsing material can lead to the decay of memories
Stored memories get stronger over time
9
The forgetting curve shows that you forget more as time progresses
True
False
10
The two types of interference are antero-active and retro-active interference
False
True
11
What conditions increase the rate of false memories in the DRM paradigm?
Studying phonologically similar words
All of the above
Studying a larger number of associates of the critical word
Learning content that is similar to what was experienced
12
Which is true about the consolidation theory?
If consolidation is prevented, then memory is not stored and thus forgotten
Going to sleep leads to forgetfulness and decreases memory
Protecting memories during perseveration should enhance consolidation
Three states of learned memories are Perseveration, Consolidation, Storage
13
Why doesn't forewarning reduce false memory according to fuzzy trace theory?
Verbatim traces are too weak
Forewarning is not a useful cue
None of the above
Gist representations are necessary for reconstructing the event
14
What is not a criticism of Kahneman and Tversky's work
Lack of formal modelling
Heuristic usage often can be a good thing
Lack of measure
Lack of mechanistic theory
15
Which of these is not a key argument of Chomsky?
Language is learned via operant conditioning
Sentences are divided into parts and grouped intonoun and verb phrases
Language learning is innate
Sentence comprehension is dependent on syntax
16
What is a loss aversion
Potential losses in our minds weigh twice as much as gains
Potential losses in our minds weigh less than gains
Potential losses in our minds weigh three times as much as gains
17
What is the DRM paradigm?
A technique for improving memory accuracy
A theory that explains the reconstructive nature of memory
A method of studying false memories in a laboratory setting
A model for understanding flashbulb memories
18
Which of these describes the flow of activation in the interactive activation model?
feature -> letter -> word -> visual
visual -> word -> feature -> letter
word -> feature -> letter -> visual
visual -> feature -> letter -> word
19
Which of these is NOT a criticism of Past Tense Acquisition?
Double Dissociations eg. Patients with Alzheimer’s, who have LTM deficits
They are sensitive to the training sets
The model not succeeds on all exception words
They are difficult to understand
20
According to activation monitoring theory, why does increasing the number of associates increase false memory?
Each associate activates the critical lure
None of the above
Activation spreads through the network involuntarily
False memories are generated at retrieval
