1. As described in your text, the pegword technique relies on all of the following EXCEPT a. associations. b. propositions. c. rhymes. d. visualizations.

B

1. In drawing conclusions about the relationship between imagery and perception, a notable difference between them is that a. perception and imagery processes do not share the same brain mechanisms. b. it is harder to manipulate mental images than perceptual images. c. imagery is more stable than perception. d. imagery occurs more automatically than perception.

B

1. The technique in which things to be remembered are placed at different locations in a mental image of a spatial layout is known as a. the pegword technique. b. method of loci. c. paired-associate learning. d. a propositional representation.

B

1. In explaining the paradox that imagery and perception exhibit a double dissociation, Behrmann and coworkers suggested that perception necessarily involves________processing and imagery starts as a________ process. a. bottom-up; bottom-up b. top-down; top-down c. bottom-up; top-down d. top-down; bottom-up

C

1. The lesson to be learned from the imagery techniques for memory enhancement (for example, the pegword technique) is that these techniques work because a. distinctive images tend to provide easy "magical" improvements in memory. b. they tap into reliable ways to develop "photographic" memory. c. their flexible, undefined structures allow rememberers to spontaneously organize information in any way they want. d. they showcase the fact that memory improvement requires a great deal of practice and perseverance.

1. Wilma is a famous chef. Since she does not like to share her secret family recipes, she does not write down her special creations, which makes it difficult to remember their ingredients. To aid her memory, she has created a unique "mental walk" that she takes to recall each recipe. For each one, she has a familiar "route" she can imagine walking through (e.g., from the end of her driveway to her living room) where she places each item in the recipe somewhere along the way (e.g., Tabasco sauce splattered on the front door). By doing so, Wilma is using_______to organize her memories. a. mental synthesis b. paired-associate learning c. the pegword technique d. method of loci
