Chapter 7: Long Term Memory Encoding, Retrieval, and Consolidation

Transfer-appropriate processing is likely to occur if

the type of encoding task matches the type of retrieval task.

When the methods used to encode and retrieve information are the same, this is called ________ processing.

transfer-appropriate

Which of the following provides the key benefit to the generate-and-test study strategy?

Engagement

The concept of encoding specificity is grounded in which of the following?

Location

The story in the text about the balloons that were used to suspend a speaker in mid-air was used to illustrate the role of ___________ in memory.

Organization.

James Nairne would say that effective encoding of memory is based on which of the following?

Survival

In Slameka and Graf's (1978) study, some participants read word pairs, while other participants had to fill in the blank letters of the second word in a pair with a word related to the first word. The latter group performed better on a later memory task, illustrating the

generation effect.

Bransford and Johnson's study had participants hear a passage, which turned out to be about a man on the street serenading his girlfriend in a tall building. The wording of the passage made it difficult to understand, but looking at a picture made it easier to understand. The results of this study illustrated the importance of ___________ in forming reliable long-term memories.

organizational context

Finding that the the hippocampus was activated during retrieval of recent and remote (older) episodic memories provides support for

the multiple trace model of consolidation.
