A) responsive
B) conditional
C) consistent
D) variable
C) consistent

sensory code
characteristics associated with the functions carried out in different types of scene and the meaning between properties of an object
semantic regularities
the case of D.F who had damage to her temporal lobe could not perform static orientation task, but could match the slots orientation once she started moving toward the slot. what does this represent?
what/ventral/ perception pathway damage
where/dorsal/ action pathway intact
In film, changes that occur from one scene to another that do not match, such as when a character reaches for a croissant in one shot, which turns into a pancake in the next shot.
A) processing capacity
B) continuity errors
C) change blindness
D effective connectivity
B
the amount of information people can handle and sets a limit on their ability to process incoming information
A) processing capacity
B) continuity errors
C) change blindness
D) effective connectivity
a
difficulty detecting changes in similar, but slightly different scenes that are presented in a change detection task. these changes are often easy to see once attention is directed to them but are usually undetected in the absence of appropriate attention
A) processing capacity
B) continuity errors
C) change blindness
D) effective connectivity
C
what are the two factors Lavie considers when determining how people ignore distracting stimuli when they are trying to focus their attention on a task?
A) processing capacity; knowledge load
B) processing capacity; attentional load
C) processing capacity; perceptual load
D) processing capacity; memory load
C
an experiment that determines whether presenting a cue indicating where a a test stimulus will appear enhances the processing of the target stimulus
A) priming
B) precueing
C) repeated recall
D) repeated reproduction
B
short term changes in neural network connectivity that has been hypothesised as a mechanism for holding information in working memory
A) selective attention
B) perseveration
C) phonological similarity effect
D) activity silent working memory
D
Conrad (1964) found that that when participants made errors, they were most likely to misidentify the target letter as another letter that sounded like the target. For example, “F” was most often misidentified as “S” or “X,” two letters that sound similar to “F,” but was not as likely to be confused with letters like “E,” that looked like the target. Thus, even though the participants saw the letters, the mistakes they made were based on the letters’ sounds. this result demonstrates what?
A) selective attention
B) perseveration
C) phonological similarity effect
D) activity silent working memory
C
according to this hypothesis, episodic memories are extracted and recombined to construct simulations of future events
A) autobiographical
B) constructive episodic simulation hypothesis
C) recognition memory hypothesis
D primacy effect
B
The constructive episodic simulation hypothesis describes how our memories are connected to our _____.
A) past
B) present
C) future
D) life
C
many researchers have concluded that although there is good evidence for the separation of short-term memory and long-term memory, there is also evidence that these functions are not as separated as previously thought, especially for tasks involving ______ stimuli.
A) familiar
B) learned
C) novel
D new
c
what is the key difference between synaptic consolidation and systems consolidation?
content
scale
state
consciousness
scale
Gordon Bower and David Winzenz (1970) used a procedure in which a list of word pairs are presented and later, the first word of each pair is presented, and the participant’s task is to remember the word it was paired with. what is this procedure?
A) retrieval practice
B) self reference effect
C) paired associate learning
D) repeated recall
C
technique that determines whether memory changes over time by testing participants a number of times after an event. The person’s memory is first measured immediately after a stimulus is presented or something happens. Days, months, or years later, when participants are asked to remember what happened, their reports are compared to this baseline. This use of a baseline provides a way to check the consistency of later reports.
A) retrieval practice
B) self reference effect
C) paired associate learning
D) repeated recall
d
a technique of comparing later memories to memories collected immediately after an event
A) retrieval practice
B) self reference effect
C) paired associate learning
D) repeated recall
d
Bartlett used this technique after presentation of a story. the task involved that participants trying to remember the story at longer and longer intervals after they have first read it
A) retrieval practice
B) repeated reproduction
C) paired associate learning
D) repeated recall
b
familiarity causes an error called ______ _______ ______ - where the enhanced probability of evaluating a statement as being true upon repeated presentation
A) propaganda effect
B) illusionary correlation
C) familiarity effect
D) illusionary truth effect
D
The idea of distributed representation is a central feature of the __________ approach, which has led to searching for factors beyond sensory and functional that determine how concepts are divided within a category.
A) embodied approach
B) multiple-factor approach
C) semantic network approach
D) category-specific
B
Correspondence between words related to specific parts of the body and the location of brain activity associated with that part of the body
A) priming
B) semantic somatotopy
C) semantic network approach
D) category-specific
B
results from Hoffman and Lambon Ralph study indicate that animals were more highly associated with motion and color compared to artifacts, and artifacts were more highly associated with performed actions (actions associated with using or interacting with an object). are explained by what approach to how concepts are represented in the brain?
A) embodied approach
B) multiple-factor approach
C) semantic network approach
D) category-specific
B
