1
The CAPACITY is vast (potentially unlimited) for both sensory AND long term memory.
False
True
2
The type of LTM's that are 'tagged' with info about time/place & psychological/physiological state are:
episodic
procedural
classically conditioned
semantic
3
Memory is:
stored in a single neuron
a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs due to experience
a neurological representation of learning
the acquisition of knowledge or skills
4
World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945 and 1+1=2. These are examples of:
LTM
Semantic memories
Implicit memories
STM
5
Chunking is a strategy that allows you to increase the:
the capacity of sensory memory
duration of STM
capacity of STM
capacity of LTM
6
Eidedic memory is an exact replica of visual information that:
perists over time, but is not accurate
persists over time, without distortion
rapidly deteriorates if not rehearsed
is more common in adulthood than childhood
7
Iconic (visual) memory lasts for 3 - 4 seconds, to allow images to overlap so the world appears 'smooth'.
True
False
8
The structure responsible for the encoding and consolidation of explicit memories is the:
cerebrum
amygdala
cerebellum
hippocampus
9
The capacity of short term memory is:
7 + or - 2 items
5 + or - 2 things
12 - 30 seconds
5 - 9 items
10
This brain structure in the medial temporal lobe is responsible for the formation of emotional memories.
Thalamus
Hippocampus
Cerebral cortex
Amygdala
11
Conversion of information into a usable form so that it can be neurologically represented in memory is called:
encoding
perception
storage
retrieval
12
Sensory memory is considered:
the entry point of memory
useless
infinite in duration
the working space of memory
13
We can increase the duration of STM by:
elaborative rehearsal
forgetting
maintenance rehearsal
chunking
14
Short term memory has infinite capacity and duration
False
True
15
Iconic memory is for auditory (sound) information.
False
True
16
The two main types of LTM's are:
Procedural / Classically conditioned
STM / Working memory
Explicit / Implicit
Semantic / Episodic
17
Recovery of stored information for use when needed is called:
encasing
encoding
retrieval
storage
18
The role of the cerebral cortex in memory is:
the long term, permanent storage of explicit memories
to send LTM's elsewhere for storage
the temporary storage of classically conditioned memories
the encoding of all types of LTM
19
Implicit procedural memories are encoded and temporarily stored in the cerebellum.
True
False
20
When STM is full, new items coming in push older items out. This is known as:
decay
displacement
repetition
elaboration
