Quiz 5 review

Have you ever tried to think of the words and hum the melody of one song while the radio is playing a different song? People have often noted that this is very difficult to do. This difficulty can be understood as -articulatory suppression. -an overload of sensory memory. -rehearsal interference. -an LTM recency effect.

articulatory suppression.

The primary effect of chunking is to -maximize the recency effect. -increase memory for items by grouping them together based on sound. -develop a visual code to supplement a phonological code for the information. -increase the efficiency of short-term memory.

increase the efficiency of short-term memory.

Sperling's delayed partial report procedure provided evidence that -STM and LTM are independent components of memory. -information in sensory memory fades within 1 or 2 seconds. -information in STM must be rehearsed to transfer into LTM. -STM has a limited capacity.

information in sensory memory fades within 1 or 2 seconds.

Imagine yourself walking from your car, bus stop, or dorm to your first class. Your ability to form such a picture in your mind depends on which of the following components of working memory? -the STM recency effect -delayed response coding -the phonological loop -the visuospatial sketch pad

the visuospatial sketch pad

Working memory differs from short-term memory in that -short-term memory consists of a number of components. -short-term memory has unlimited capacity. -working memory is concerned with both holding and processing information. -working memory has unlimited capacity.

working memory is concerned with both holding and processing information.

The effective duration of short-term memory, when rehearsal is prevented, is -just under a fraction of a second. -15-20 seconds or less. -1-3 minutes or more. -indefinite.

15-20 seconds or less.

Stacey is married to a person named Lenny. When she is a crowded room, she hears someone call for their friend Benny and she turns her attention to them, thinking she heard her partner's name. What is this an example of? -Articulatory suppression -Word length effect -Phonological similarity effect -Proactive interference

Phonological similarity effect

Jill grew up roller skating as a child. As an adult, she learns to ice skate and develops new techniques for skating on a straight blade that are different from skating on four wheels. When she goes to a roller-skating rink, she starts to use the techniques she learned from ice skating. This is an example of: -Proactive interference -Change detection -Delayed response -Retroactive interference

Retroactive interference

The word-length effect shows that it is more difficult to remember -a long list of words than a short list of words. -a list of long words than a list of short words. -a list of words that are all the same length than a list of words that are of different lengths. -a list of words that are of different lengths than a list of words that are all the same length.

a list of long words than a list of short words.

Brief sensory memory for sound is known as -iconic memory. -primary auditory memory. -echoic memory. -pre-perceptual auditory memory.

echoic memory.

Shanta has frontal lobe damage. She is doing a problem solving task in which she has to choose the red object out of many choices. She can easily complete this repeatedly, but when the experimenter asks her to choose the blue object on a new trial of the task, she continues to choose the red one, even when the experimenter gives her feedback that she is incorrect. Shanta is displaying -sensory memory. -decay. -perseveration. -agnosia.

perseveration.

When light from a flashlight is moved quickly back and forth on a wall in a darkened room, it can appear to observers that there is a trail of light moving across the wall, even though physically the light is only in one place at any given time. This experience is an effect of memory that occurs because of -a visual delay effect. -echoic memory. -persistence of vision. -top-down processing.

persistence of vision.

Information remains in sensory memory for -seconds or a fraction of a second. -15-30 seconds. -1-3 minutes. -as long as it is rehearsed.

seconds or a fraction of a second.

Remembering that a tomato is actually a fruit rather than vegetable is an example of ________ memory. -semantic -acoustic -visual -Iconic

semantic

The three structural components of the modal model of memory are -receptors, occipital lobe, temporal lobe. -receptors, temporal lobe, frontal lobe. -sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory. -sensory memory, iconic memory, rehearsal.

sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory.

When a sparkler is twirled rapidly, people perceive a circle of light. This occurs because -the trail you see is caused by sparks left behind from the sparkler. -due to its differing wavelengths, the light from the sparkler continues to radiate for about a second after it goes out. -the length of iconic memory (the persistence of vision) is about a fraction of a second. -Gestalt principles work to complete the circle in our minds.

the length of iconic memory (the persistence of vision) is about a fraction of a second.
