CHAPTER 3 LESSON 2

Question 1

plays an important role in virtually all
our daily activities.

Answer 1

Memory

Question 2

The memory structure is comprised of two
functional systems

Answer 2

 Working memory
 Long-term memory

Question 3

Memory system associated with sensory, perceptual, attentional and short-term memory processes.

Answer 3

Working memory

Question 4

Memory is primarily composed of three processes

Answer 4

 Encoding
 Storage
 Retrieval

Question 5

demonstrated that memory, which includes conditioning and any type of stored experience, is primarily a neuro-chemical process

Answer 5

molecular neurobiology

Question 6

refers to the conscious recall of
information

Answer 6

Explicit memory

Question 7

• the only memory system of which we are consciously aware.
• hold only a limited amount of information, and then only temporarily.

Answer 7

Short-term memory

Question 8

a technique when used in teaching to help students understand how information is processed

Answer 8

Chunking

Question 9

THREE TYPES OF MEMORY SYSTEMS IN
WORKING MEMORY

Answer 9

1. Phonological Loop
2. Visuospatial Sketchpad
3. Central executive

Question 10

• responsible for learning.
• includes procedural, semantic, and episodic information encoding in a way that allows for retrieval

Answer 10

Long-Term Memory

Question 11

THREE TYPES OF MEMORY SYSTEMS IN
LONG TERM MEMORY

Answer 11

1. Procedural
2. Semantic
3. Episodic

Question 12

Stores information about “how to do” specific activities

Answer 12

Procedural

Question 13

Stores our general knowledge about how the world based upon experiences

Answer 13

Semantic

Question 14

Stores our knowledge about personally experiences events.

Answer 14

Episodic

Question 15

Transforming information to be
remembered into a form that can
stored.

Answer 15

Encoding

Question 16

• process of searching long-term
  memory that must processed and
  used in order to perform the task

Answer 16

Retrieval

Question 17

when you are trying to intentionally
remembering something

Answer 17

Explicit memory test

Question 18

sometimes referred to as unconscious memory or automatic memory.

Answer 18

Implicit memory test

Question 19

refers to the failure to either recall or retain information into present consciousness

Answer 19

Causes of forgetting

Question 20

theory suggests short term memory can only hold information for between 15 and 30 seconds unless it is rehearsed

Answer 20

Trace Decay

Question 21

refers to the interference effect of previously learned materials on the acquisition and retrieval of newer materials

Answer 21

Proactive Interference

Question 22

refers to conditions in which new
learning interferes with old learning

Answer 22

Retroactive Interference

Question 23

STRATEGIES THAT ENHANCE MEMORY
PERFORMANCE

Answer 23

1. Rehearsal
2. Chunking

Question 24

the conscious repetition of information to be remembered
(Craik & Watkins, 1973)

Answer 24

Rehearsal

Question 25

you organize information into manageable bits or chunks (Bodie, Powers, & Fitch-Hauser, 2006).

Answer 25

Chunking

Question 26

attaches a specific label to the
movement.

Answer 26

Verbal label

Question 27

person thinks of producing a
metaphoric image related to the
movement.

Answer 27

Visual metaphoric imagery

Question 28

functions to stabilize images on the
retina.

Answer 28

Vestibule-Ocular Reflex (VOR)

Question 29

making it an excellent model system to link adaptive modification of circuit function to motor behavior

Answer 29

VOR neural circuitry

Question 30

• an all-too-common part of daily life.
• so common that you probably rely on numerous methods to help you remember important information, such as jotting down notes in a daily planner or scheduling important events on your phone’s calendar

Answer 30

Forgetting
