Alleen A
Knowing that Madrid is the capital of Spain is an example of what type of memory?

B) Episodic memory
C) Procedural memory
D) Non-declarative memory
A
A false memory that is recalled without an intention to lie is called a:
A) Source memory
B) Confabulation
C) Consolidation
D) Frontal memory
B
The process by which retrieved memories are attributed to their original context has been called what?
A) Familiarity
B) Retrieval-induced forgetting
C) Source monitoring
D) Encoding specificity
C
Articulatory suppression (i.e. producing irrelevant speech during list learning) reduces verbal span length. What is a common cognitive explanation for this?
A) It reduces the amount of attention available for the span task
B) It disrupts functioning of a central executive
C) It prevents items in the phonological store from being refreshed
D) It suggests that motor commands for speech affect speech perception
C
Mandler (1980) proposed that recognition memory consists of two mechanisms. What are these mechanisms called?
A) Encoding specificity and levels-of processing
B) Anterograde and retrograde memory
C) Declarative and non-declarative memory
D) Familiarity and recollection
C
“The amount of contextual similarity between the retrieval attempt and the initial encoding phase, predicts the likelihood of remembering versus forgetting.” What does this statement refer to?
A) Source monitoring
B) Levels-of-processing
C) Encoding specificity hypothesis
D) Long-term potentiation
C
Which of the following is a key property of Atkinson and Shiffrin’s (1968) modal model?
A) Amnesia reflects damage to the short-term memory system
B) Short-term memory can be divided into distinct phonological and visuo-spatial components
C) Information only gets into and out of long-term memory via a short-term memory system
D) It is possible to have long-term learning if the short-term memory system is damaged
C
Knowing how to ride a bike is an example of what type of memory?
A) Declarative memory
B) Episodic memory
C) Semantic memory
D) Procedural memory
D
Why have regions in the frontal lobe been implicated by functional-imaging studies of “levels-of-processing”?
A) Frontal lobes are important for source memory
B) Frontal lobes are important for memory retrieval
C) Frontal lobes are important for consolidation
D) Frontal lobes select attributes to attend to at encoding
