Question 1

levels-of-processing model

Answer 1

information that is more “deeply processed,” according to its meaning, will be remembered more efficiently and longer period of time.

model of memory that assumes information that is more “deeply processed,” or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time.

Question 2

parallel distributed processing (PDP) model

Answer 2

The brain does not function in a series of activities but rather performs a range of activities at the same time, parallel to each other.

a model of memory in which memory processes are proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections.

Question 3

information-processing model

Answer 3

model of memory that assumes the processing of information for memory storage is similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages.

Question 4

retrieval

Answer 4

getting information that is in storage into a form that can be used.

Question 5

storage

Answer 5

holding on to information for some period of time.

Question 6

encoding

Answer 6

To get sensory information into a form that the brain can use.

the set of mental operations that people perform on sensory information to convert that information into a form that is usable in the brain’s storage systems.

Question 7

Memory

Answer 7

Receiving information from senses- encoding it- storage is- Retrieves it when needed.

an active system that receives information from the senses, puts that information into a usable form, and organizes it as it stores it away, and then retrieves the information from storage.

Question 8

Which three processes of memory is there?

Answer 8

Encoding, storage and retrieval
