1
A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli
is called visual memory.
is called echoic memory.
is called iconic memory.
lasts no more than a few tenths of a second.
2
Using Quizlet to test your knowledge of terms is an example of:
Context-dependent learning
Retrieval practice
Maintenance rehearsal
Primacy effect
3
If someone remembers the details of their last birthday, what type of memory are they using?
Procedural memory
implicit memory
episodic memory
semantic memory
4
Which memory process is most disrupted by retrograde amnesia?
Retrieving long-term memories from before an injury
Recalling procedural knowledge
Using working memory
Encoding new information
5
That eerie sense that "I've experienced this before" is really our brains trying to
make sense of a feeling of familiarity without conscious recall.
remember a traumatic experience.
separate false memories from real ones.
construct a memory from repeatedly hearing a story.
6
The process of mixing your study of psychology with your study of other subjects to protect against overconfidence is
interweaving
completely impractical
interleaving
testing effect
7
What process strengthens synaptic connections to support long-term memory formation?
Encoding failure
Maintenance rehearsal
Long-term potentiation
Chunking
8
Which example demonstrates elaborative rehearsal?
Relating new material to personal experiences
Highlighting key phrases in a textbook
Rereading a list of definitions repeatedly
Grouping related terms into categories
9
What type of memory allows a pianist to play a song without consciously recalling the notes?
prospective memory
episodic memory
semantic memory
procedural memory
10
Which mnemonic device pairs locations with information to enhance memory recall?
Method of loci
Spacing effect
Chunking
Phonological loop
11
Which of the following best demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy?
Investing in a failing project because of past time and resources spent
Assuming a slot machine will pay out soon after many losses
Avoiding a difficult decision by flipping a coin
Choosing an option framed as a gain rather than a loss
12
The framing effect refers to:
Distortion in memory due to suggestive questions
Prioritizing tasks using a mental framework
Overestimating the importance of first impressions
Making decisions based on how information is presented
13
Which strategy is most likely to enhance encoding for long-term retention?
Listening to a recording while sleeping
Creating a detailed mental image of the material
Writing notes word for word from a lecture
Using massed practice to focus on a topic in one session
14
Chunking information is an effective strategy because:
It avoids interference during retrieval
It relies solely on visual processing
It simplifies encoding by grouping related items
It increases the capacity of sensory memory
15
What is an example of a heuristic?
Organizing a to-do list by priority
Estimating which store will have the lowest prices based on a past visit
Solving a math problem by using a step-by-step formula
Using flashcards to memorize vocabulary
16
What type of memory is assessed when a student answers multiple-choice questions?
procedural memory
implicit memory
recognition
recall
17
What is the role of the central executive in the working memory model?
Integrates information and allocates attention
Processes auditory information
Retrieves long-term memory
Stores visual and spatial data
18
Due to being asked misleading questions, witness mistakenly recalls seeing a blue car when the actual car was red.
Source amnesia
Repression
Misinformation effect
Constructive memory
19
What is the availability heuristic?
Using prior experiences to solve new problems
Judging a situation based on how well it matches a prototype
Recalling information based on vivid examples that come to mind easily
Using logical analysis to make decisions
20
Which phenomenon explains why people tend to remember first and last items in a list better than those in the middle?
Retroactive interference
Serial position effect
Encoding failure
Misinformation effect
21
Which statement best describes functional fixedness?
Using an object only in the way it is traditionally intended
Focusing on irrelevant details in problem-solving
Preferring creative solutions over logical ones
Relying on past strategies to solve a new problem
22
A student finds it easier to recall vocabulary words in the same classroom where they learned them. This illustrates:
Procedural memory
Context-dependent memory
Mood-congruent memory
State-dependent memory
23
False memories
all of the above
can feel real and can be persistent.
are socially contagious.
can be attributed to memory construction errors.
