Question

1. Abstraction theories of knowledge representation suggest that we store:

a general representation of a category and judge instances by degree of similarity.

several different instances of a category, as well as a general model of instances for comparison purposes.   

a number of different instances and judge new instances by degree of similarity.

we rely on specific instances for item recognition and comparison.

2.

Suppose you went to a university workshop on how to apply for financial aid and were given a short set of explicit instructions at the end. When you get home, you tried to remember the instructions. Which statement indicates what you probably would recall from the instructions?

I would probably recall the gist of the instructions.  

I would probably recall style of message but not the meaning.

I would probably recall the instructions verbatim.

I would probably recall both meaning and sentence structure

3.

When scanning words to count the occurrences of the letter "H," in which word would you be most likely to MISS an occurrence of the letter?

horse

laugh

the

laughter

high

4.

With respect to "the power law of learning" we know that:

overlearning leads to a linear memory trace.

the associative strength of items is not predicted by practice.

practice makes "perfect" is a fairly accurate statement.

practice makes people faster to respond, but not more accurate.
