The strength of of the experience of synesthesia appears to dictate what?
to dictate how likely it is to be used.
The more frequently you see a letter or a thing, the brighter the color associated will be for synesthetes
True or False
True
You see a difference in male and female in rotation tasks. Like the more it needs to be rotated, the longer it takes to complete the task.
Men tend to outperform women.
BUT if objects are more important to females are used, there’s no difference.
An eidetic image is a fusion of what … two things.
imagery and percept
four features of eidetic memory
1- the image is perceived in the head.
2- the image can be scanned and described in detail
3-descriptions are quicker and assured than memory reports.
4- it’s common in children.
The lower the angular rotation is required, the higher the reaction time for “Same Pairs”
False.
items that are … are easier to remember than …. items.
interrelated and individual
humor is more memorable than …. things
bizarre.
explain the difference between special places strategy and method of loci:
method of loci: you start with a set of places and you store items in them by forming relationship b/w the two. When you want to remember, you just go the that place and recall what is tied to that place.
special place strategy: you also store your objects in a special place but the recall process is going from object to location and not location to object. PLus there is no relationship between the two.
