Q

IN THIS METHOD SPERLING SHOWED A GRID OF LETTER SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE BUT IMMEDIATELY SOUNDED A HIGH,MEDIUM OR LOW TONE JUST AFTER THE GRID WAS SHOWN, HE FOUND OUT THAT SUBJECTS COULD ACCURATELY REPORT ANY OF THE THREE ROWS

Q

THE CAPACITY OF _ MEMORY IS EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SEEN AT ONE TIME

A

CAPACITY OF ICONIC MEMORY

17
Q

SPERLING FOUND THAT IF HE DELAYED THE TONE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME, AFTER SECOND SUBJECTS COULD NO LONGER RECALL LETTERS FROM THE GRID ANY BETTER THAN THEY HAD DURING THE WHOLE REPORT SCHEDULE

A

DURATION OF ICONIC MEMORY

18
Q

THE ICONIC INFORMATION HAD COMPLETELY FADED OUT OF SENSORY MEMORY IN THAT BRIEF TIME (DELAYED TO THE TONE)

A

DURATION OF ICONIC MEMORY

19
Q

A PROCESS IN WHICH THE INFORMATION THAT JUST ENTERED ICONIC MEMORY WILL BE PUSHED OUT QUICKLY BY NEW INFORMATION

A

MASKING (COWAN, 1988)

20
Q

RESEARCH SUGGEST THAT AFTER ONLY A QUARTER OF A _, OLD INFORMATION IS REPLACE BY NEW INFORMATION

A

QUARTER OF A SECOND

21
Q

ALSO KNOWS AS PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY

A

EIDETIC IMAGERY

22
Q

THE RARE ABILITY TO ACCESS A VISUAL MEMORY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

A

EIDETIC IMAGERY

23
Q

HAVING A VERY GOOD MEMORY AND HAVING _ IMAGERY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

A

EIDETIC IMAGERY

24
Q

SOME CLAIMING THAT THEY HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ACTUALLY MEAN THAT THEY HAVE AN EXTREMELY _

A

EXTREMELY GOOD MEMORY

25
Q

_ MEMORY HELPS THE VISUAL SYSTEM TO VIEW SURROUNDINGS AS CONTINUOUS AND STABLE IN SPITE OF THESE SACCADIC MOVEMENTS

A

ICONIC MEMORY

26
Q

the quick movement of the eyes by which the gaze is transferred from one fixation point to another

A

SACCADIC MOVEMENTS

27
Q

_ MEMORY ALLOWS ENOUGH TIME FOR THE BRAIN STEM TO DECIDE IF THE INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE BROUGHT INTO CONSCIOUSNESS

A

ICONIC MEMORY

28
Q

THE BRIEF MEMORY OF SOMETHING A PERSON HAS HEARD

A

ECHOIC SENSORY MEMORY

29
Q

LIMITED TO WHAT CAN BE HEARD AT ANY ONE MOMENT AND SMALLER THAN THE CAPACITY OF ICONIC MEMORY

A

CAPACITY OF ECHOIC SENSORY MEMORY

30
Q

LAST LONGER THAN THE CAPACITY OF ICONIC MEMORY FOR ABOUT 2 -4 SECONDS

A

CAPACITY OF ECHOIC SENSORY MEMORY

31
Q

_ MEMORY IS VERY USEFUL WHEN A PERSON WANTS TO HAVE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS

A

ECHOIC MEMORY

32
Q

_ MEMORY ALLOWS THE PERSON TO REMEMBER WHAT SOMEONE SAID JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR THE LOWER BRAIN CENTERS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT PROCESSING BY HIGHER BRAIN CENTERS IS NEEDED

A

ECHOIC MEMORY
