Chapter 6: Memory 1. Menories tor surprising. significant moments that details are called flashbulb memories are especially clear and han 2. Memory is a highly construetive process, distortion is highly likely. 3. Both hunan memory and computer memory can be viewed as information processing systens that perform three tasks: encoding, storing, and retrieval 4. The phenomenon of short-term memory has been clarified by the concept of working memory, since this is where we do problem solving, decision making etc 5, By using maintenance rehearsal you can increase the length of time that you can hold information in your short-term memory 6. Encoding the meaning of words is reterred to as phonemic encoding: encoding by sound is called semantic encoding: encoding the image of words is structural encoding 7. Craik and Tulving's study comparing visual (structural), acoustic (phonemic, and senant ie encoding showed that memory was best (deeper) with structural encoding of Informtion 8. Our excellent recall of information when encoded by relating it to ourselves is called the state-dependent effect 9. Your earliest memories are most likely of events that occurred when you were about Stimuli from the environment are first recorded in Short term memory our short-term memory capacity is about 3+/-2 chunks of information. 12. IN sensory memory the information we hear is somewhat (better/worse) than the 13. In contrast to short-term memory-and contrary to popular belief-the capacity 3 years old. 10 information we see of LTM is essentially permanent 14. The loss of memory is called Amnesia. Studies of people who have lost their memory suggest that there (is/is not) a single unified system of memory 15. The hippocampus seems to function as a zone where the brairn (temporarily/permanently) stores the elements of a memory. However, memories Ido/do not) migrate for storage elsewhere. Recalling past experiences activates various parts of the brain. 16.As you are taking this exam, you are actively retrieving information that you have learned and stored in your long-term memory. The information that you are able to consciously recall is an example of implicit subsystem of long-term memoryExplanation / Answer
1. True. A flashbulb memory is a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and emotionally arousing news was seen or heard.
2. True. Memory is a constructive process in which distortion is very much likely.
3. False. Human memory and computer memory are viewed as information processing systems that involve three stages of memory storage - sensory memory, short term memory and long term memory.
4. True. The concept of short term memory is clarified by working memory as the two concepts are distinct but overlap.
