Lamar has just gotten a new job and is attending a company party where he will meet his colleagues for the first time. His boss escorts him around to small groups to introduce him. At the first group, Lamar meets four people and is told only their first names. The same thing happens with a second group and a third group. At the fourth group, Lamar is told their names and that one of the women in the group is the company accountant. A little while later, Lamar realizes that he only remembers the names of the people in the first group, though he also remembers the profession of the last woman he met (the accountant). Lamar's experience demonstrates The phonological similarity effect A build-up and release of proactive interference The cocktail party phenomenon A partial-report procedure

Which statement below is NOT true, based on the results of memory research? Suggestion can create false memories for events that occurred when a person was a young child. Suggestion can create false memories for an event that a person has experienced just recently. Although eyewitness testimony is often faulty, people who have just viewed a videotape of a crime are quite accurate at picking the "perpetrator" from a lineup.

Which example below best demonstrates state-dependent learning? Last night, at the grocery store, Cole ran into a psychology professor he took a class with three semesters ago. He recognized her right away. Even though Walt hasn't been to the beach cottage his parents owned since he was a child, he still has many fond memories of time spent there as a family. Although Emily doesn't very often think about her first love, Steve, she can't help getting caught up in happy memories when "their song" (the first song they danced to) plays on the radio. Alexis always suffers test anxiety in her classes. To combat this, she tries to relax when she studies. She thinks it's best to study while lying in bed, reading by candlelight with soft music playing.

Why is classical conditioning considered a form of implicit memory? Because you have to make an effort to learn the association between the neutral and conditioned stimulus. Because it is based on motor skills like procedural memory is. Because it is involves learning an association without being aware of the reasons behind it. Because it usually involves memory for the episode in which it occurred.

Because it is involves learning an association without being aware of the reasons behind it.

Categories help us understand behaviors that we might otherwise find baffling. Categories serve as a valuable tool for making inferences about things that belong to other categories.

Information enters memory by passing through a number of levels, beginning with sensory memory, then short-term memory, then long-term memory.

Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding post-event information and the misinformation effect? The misinformation effect does not occur when people are told explicitly that the post-event information may be incorrect Even when participants are told that the post-event information is incorrect, the misinformation effect can still occur. Misinformation effects are significantly reduced when post-event information is provided, but only if that information is given within just a few minutes of the initial event. The provision of accurate post-event information provided a paradoxical (and as of yet unexplained) increase in the misinformation effect

Katie and Inez are roommates taking the same psychology class. They have a test in four days during a 10:00 - 11:00 AM class period. Both women intend to study for three hours, but because of different work schedules, Katie will study one hour for each of the next three days, while Inez will study three hours the day before the exam. What could you predict about their performances? Katie and Inez should perform equally well, because each studied the same time overall (supporting the equal-time hypothesis). Inez will perform better because of a long-term memory recency effect. Katie should perform better because of the spacing effect. State-dependent learning predicts that Katie should perform better, because the exam takes place during a one-hour class period.

Katie should perform better because of the spacing effect.

LTMs are unaffected by damage to the hippocampus.

LTMs are unaffected by damage to the hippocampus.

The retroactive interference hypothesis states that the misinformation effect occurs because MPI obstructs or distorts memories formed during the original experiencing of an event. MPI cues the rememberer that an error in memory is occurring. MPI fills in the gaps in the original memory where it lacked detail. the original memory for an event decays over time, leaving room for MPI to infiltrate the memory later.

Imagine that the students described below are all taking a multiple choice test. Which student's behavior best describes an example of implicit memory? One student comes to a question for which he is unsure of the answer, but choice b seems familiar so he decides that it must be right. One student remembers the correct answer to a question as well as where the information could be found in his notebook. One student has no idea what an answer was supposed to be, but she does not want to leave a question blank. So, she guesses by first writing out items that she thought would make sense. One student is sure he does not know the answer for a question, so he leaves it blank.

Elementary school students in the U.S. are often taught to use the very familiar word "HOMES" as a cue for remembering the names of the Great Lakes (each letter in "HOMES" provides a first-letter cue for one of the lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior). This memory procedure usually works better than repeating the names over and over. The use of this familiar word provides an example of a self-reference effect. repetition priming. implicit memory. elaborative rehearsal.

A lesson to be learned from the research on flashbulb memories is that rehearsal cannot account for them. people's confidence in a memory predicts its accuracy (high confidence = high accuracy). extreme vividness of a memory does not mean it is accurate. they are permanent and resist forgetting.

Much research has been dedicated to improving the reliability of eyewitness testimony. One finding reveals that when constructing a lineup, increasing similarity between "fillers" and a suspect leads to an increased level of erroneous identification of innocent people. increasing similarity between "fillers" and a suspect leads to an increased level of missed identification of some guilty suspects. increasing the number of fillers from 5 to 7 actually decreases the rate of false positive identifications. decreasing the number of fillers from 6 to 3 actually increases the rate of false positive identifications.

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 for kiwi. when people are asked to list all the fruits they can think of, kiwi will usually appear on their list before banana. neither kiwi nor banana are likely to be the fruit "closest" to the prototype of the fruit category. people will have a similar number of exemplars for kiwi and banana.

Recent research on memory, based largely on fear conditioning in rats, indicates that fear conditioning is the most effective kind of conditioning for forming durable memories. memories are not susceptible to disruption once consolidation has occurred. when a memory is reactivated, it becomes capable of being changed or altered, just as it was immediately after it was formed. memory consolidation does not occur when animals are afraid of a stimulus.
