For the category "fruit," people give a higher typicality rating to "banana" than to "kiwi." Knowing that we can also reason that - the word " fruit" will lead to a larger priming effect for banana than kiwi - when people are asked to list all the fruits they can think of, kiwi will usually appear on the list before bananas -neither kiwiw nor banana is likely to be the fruit "closest" to the prototype of fruit category -people will have a similar number of exemplars for kiwi and banana

- the word " fruit" will lead to a larger priming effect for banana than kiwi

Which of the following is an example of a semantic memory? -i remember my earth science teacher telling me how volcanos erupt -I remember seeing a volcano erupt in Hawaii last summer -I remember the big island of Hawaii has many active volcanos -I remember "volcano" was the first word on the list Juan read to me

-consolidation

According to the levels of processing theory, memory durability depends on the depth at which information is -encoded -stored -retrieved -consolidated

-encoded

Which is believed to have a specific brain area devoted to it based on its importance for survival? -faces -animals -fruits -games

-faces

which is appropriate to draw as a conclusion about research on false memories? -false memories arise from the same constructive processes that produce true memories -false memories occur for minor details rather than for entire events -false memories occur in laboratory settings but do not occur in real-world circumstances -false memories do not arise for everyone, but only for suggestible or inattentive people

-false memories arise from the same constructive processes that produce true memories

-involves mental time travel

The imagery debate is concerned with whether imagery -actually exists -can be used to inform non-visual sensory systems -is identical for all people -is based on spatial or language mechanisms

-is based on spatial or language mechanisms

your text describes imagery performance of a patient with unilateral neglect. This patient was asked to imagine standing at one end of a familiar plaza and to report the objects in view. Which pattern followed? -neglect manifests itself in perception only, not in imagery -neglect occured in imagery such that some objects in the plaza were never reported -neglect involved both the left and right sides of the visual filed, with an apparently "random" agnosia of different components of the fields -neglect always occurred ed on the left side of the image, with the "left side" being determined by the direction in which the patient imagined being position

-neglect always occurred ed on the left side of the image, with the "left side" being determined by the direction in which the patient imagined being position

The standard model of consolidation proposes that the hippocampus is -strongly active for both new memories as they are being consolidated and memories for events that occurred long ago and are already consolidated -strongly active for long-ago memories that are already consolidated but become less active when memories are first formed and being consolidated -strongly active when memories are first formed and being consolidated but becomes less active when retrieving older memories that are already consolidated -uninvolved in memory consolidation
