B. auditory code in long term memory

8. Carrie answers her phone with "Hello?" A response, "Hi, Carrie!" comes from the other end of the line. Carrie responds back with "Hi, Dad!" Carrie processed "Hi, Carrie" using an A. auditory code in short-term memory B. auditory code in long-term memory C. iconic code in short term memory d. iconic code in long term memory

D. both the first and last words

Murdoch's "remembering list" experiment described the serial position curve and found that memory is best for _ of a list. A. the first words B. the middle words C. the last words D. both the first and last words

C. Counting backward for 30 seconds before recall

Regarding free recall of a list of items, which of the following will most likely cause the recency effect to disappear by preventing rehearsal from taking place? A. Inserting a 30 second delay before rehearsal B. Presenting the stimulus list at a slower pace C. Counting backward for 30 seconds before recall D. Using a very long list (greater than 30 items at one item per second)

A. Long-term

The primacy effect (from the serial position curve experiment) is associated with: A. Long-term B. Short-term C. Sensory D. Implicit

A. Recall of information stored in LTM

The primacy effect is attributed to: A. Recall of information stored in LTM B. A type of rehearsal that improves memory for all items in a list C. Recall of information still active in STM D. Forgetting of early items in a list as they are replaced by later items

C. Have participants count backwards for 30 seconds after hearing the last word of the list

The recency effect occurs when participants are asked to recall a list of words. One way to get rid of the recency effect is to: A. Have participants sing la, la, la while studying the list B. Presenting the list more slowly C. Have participants count backwards for 30 seconds after hearing the last word of the list D. Have participants see the words on a screen, rather than hear them

C. decreases the recency effect

When investigating the serial position curve, delaying the memory test for 30 seconds A. Has no effect on the curve B. Increases the primacy effect C. Decreases the recency effect D. Increases both the primacy and recency effects

B. I was talking to that girl before class

Which of the following would most likely be a detailed long-term memory? A. I just sat down B. I was talking to that girl before class C. I was talking to that boy three months ago D. I talked to my cousin Amelia on the phone six months ago
