short-term

After Maya gave her friend the password to a protected website,the friend was able to remember it only long enough to type it into the password box.In this instance, the password was clearly stored in her_____memory echoic short-term flashbulb implicit

the misinformation effect

After Teresa was verbally threatened by someone in a passing car, she was asked whether she recognized the man who was driving the car. Several hours later, Teresa mistakenly recalled that the driver was a male rather than a female. Teresa's experience best illustrates implicit memory. proactive interference. the misinformation effect. the serial position effect.

semantic encoding.

Although Jordan could not recall the exact words of a poem he had recently heard, he clearly remembered the meaning of the poem. This best illustrates the importance of semantic encoding. mood-congruent memory. the serial position effect. implicit memory.

the serial position effect

At a block party,Cyndi is introduced to eight new neighbors.Moments later, she remembers only the names of the first three and last two neighbors. Her experience illustrates source amnesia. the misinformation effect. implicit memory. the serial position effect.

the spacing effect

Students who review previously learned course material at various times throughout a semester to pass a comprehensive final are especially likely to demonstrate long term retention of the course material.This best illustrates the value of implicit memory. the serial position effect. rosy retrospection. the spacing effec

effortful processing.

The extensive rehearsal necessary to encode nonsense syllables best illustrates the spacing effect. implicit memory. the serial position effect. effortful processing.

effortful processing

The extensive rehearsal necessary to encode nonsense syllabus best illustrates the spacing effect. implicit memory. the serial position effect. effortful processing.

retrieval cues

The happier Judie is, the more readily she recalls experiences with former teachers who were warm and generous. This best illustrates that emotional states can be retrieval cues. short-term memories. sensory memories. flashbulb memories.

long term potentiation

Which of the following is believed to be the synaptic basis for learning and memory? priming semantic encoding proactive interference long-term potentiation

proactive interference

During her evening Spanish language exam, Janica so easily remembers the French vocabulary she studied that morning that she finds it difficult to recall the Spanish vocabulary she rehearsed that afternoon. Her difficulty best illustrates the spacing effect. proactive interference. source amnesia. retroactive interference.

a mnemonic device

Employing the single word HOMES to remember the names of North America's five great Lakes best illustrates the use of imagination inflation. the serial position effect. a mnemonic device. implicit memory.

amygdala

Memories of emotional events are especially likely to be facilitated by activation of the amygdala. hypothalamus. sensory cortex. motor cortex.

explicit memory and implicit memory

Mr. Nydam suffers from amnesia and is unable to remember playing golf on a particular course. Yet the more he plays the course, the more his game improves. His experience illustrates the need to distinguish between short-term memory and long-term memory. proactive interference and retroactive interference. explicit memory and implicit memory. recognition and recall

repression

Mrs. McBride can't consciously recall how frequently she criticizes her children because it would be too anxiety-arousing to do so. Sigmund Freud would have suggested that her poor memory illustrates source amnesia. proactive interference. automatic processing. repression.

source amnesia

Recalling something that you had once merely imagined happening as something you had directly experienced best illustrates the spacing effect. mood-congruent memory. proactive interference. source amnesia.
