At the end of the night, he finally gets the courage to ask her for her telephone number. His mental repetition of the number(s) during his drive home is an example of b) chunking d) none of these c) transference of memory 18) To aid students in their retention of information, which subsequently enables to earn high exam scores, memory researchers would highlight the use a) elaborative rehearsal c) maintenance rehearsal b) rote memorization d) eidectic memory 19) According to the research on the primacy effect, if your father read you a list of 10 items to pick up at the hardware store, you would most easily recall those items a) in the middle of the list c) from early in the list b) that are most distinctive d) from the end of the list 20) Unlike explicit memory, implicit memory: a) refers to our factual knowledge b) involves no deliberate attention or effort c) keeps track of important events from our lives d) requires conscious awareness 21) The (2) most significant factors of memory are: a) learning and shaping of memory b) importance & rehearsals c) meaningfulness & rehearsals d) none of the above combinations 22) While “ a well-developed syntactical verbal system, representing the world , and can vary from culture to culture; the rules for is called governing sentence structure, is known as a) language/syntax b) syntax/grammar I c) grammar/transformational rules d) language/grammar 23) The difference between retrograde and anterograde amnesia is the former (first form) is based upon forgetting past events; while the latter involves the inability to form new memory: a) True b) FalseExplanation / Answer
16) True
Forgetting does occur due to decay of memory traces, interference, cue-dependent forgetting, or even disuse.
17) d) None of the above.
What Pedro did was ''rehearsal''. Rehearsal is repeating something until it is learned or remembered.
18) a) Elaborative rehearsal
To aid students in their retention of information, which subsequently enables them to earn high scores, memory researchers would highlight the use of elaborative rehearsal.
Elaborative rehearsal is the technique of memory where to remember something, its meaning is remembered and the whole concept behind it is seen, learnt and remembered.
19) c) From early in the list
According to the research on the primacy effect, if your father read you a list of 10 items to pick up at the hardware store, you would most easily recall those items from early in the list.
Primacy effect says that items in the beginning of something (a list, or string) are most easily remembered.
20) b) involves no deliberate attention or effort
Unlike explicit memory, implicit memory involves no deliberate attention or effort.
Implicit memory is the type of long term memory which is aquired unconsciously and used without any conscious effort, too. Procedural memory (where one can perform tasks without conscious awarness) is a type of Implicit memory.
21) d) none of the above combinations.
The important factors of memory include encoding, storage and retrieval, which further includes a lot of areas in each part, and all of them are significant to aid the process of memory.
22) a) language/ syntax
Language is a well developed syntatical verbal system, representing the world and varies from culture to culture, whereas syntax is the set of rules, principles that guide the structure of sentences.
23) a) True
Retrograde amnesia involves the loss of memory of events that happened before the injury/trauma of the brain and Anterograde amnesia involves the inability to form new memories after the injury/trauma of the brain.
