Proactive interference b. Negative interference c. decay theoryd. absent mindednessRoger and Amanda go out to see a movie. Amanda tells Roger during the film, "The reason we perceive smooth motion on the screen is because each image is held in memory long enough to allow our eyes to fixate again." What kind of memory is Amanda talking about?a.sensory memoryb. short-term memoryc. working memoryd. long-term memoryAmanda was telling Consuela about a movie she had seen when Consuela asked who starred in the movie. Amanda became frustrated because even though she could describe the actor, she could not think of his name. Amanda is experiencinga. a state dependent memoryb. tip of the tongue phenomenonc. encoding failured. generalizationLast month, 25 year old Roger got drunk and misplaced his glasses. He couldn't find them until today when he came home slightly inebriated and remembered exactly where he had put them. The fact that he was able to find them after drinking but not while he was sober demonstratesa. Context-dependent memoryb. sensory memoryc. state-dependent memoryd. working memoryRachel calls her husband Ted at his office to ask him to pick up a few things at the store on the way home. She rattles off a list of twenty-five items. The two then say good-bye and hang up. Ted reaches for pencil and paper. How many of the twenty-five items should he be able to write down from memory without chunking?a. Three to five b. Five to nine c. Twelve to sixteen d. Twenty to twenty-fiveChris, who was born and raised in Tennessee, went away to college in Illinois. When he returned to his parents' house, he was amazed at all the childhood memories that came to mind. Chris's remembering is an example of a. Context-dependent memoryb. sensory memoryc. state-dependent memoryd. working memoryComplete this analogy: Fill-in-the-blank test questions are to multiple-choice questions as:encoding is to storage.storage is to encoding.recognition is to recall.recall is to recognition.Mrs. Thomas sent Mr. Thomas shopping without a written shopping list. Mr. Thomas had could easily remember the familiar items he needed from Acme. He had a much more difficult time remembering the unfamiliar items he was supposed to buy from El Nevado the Mexican-Latin grocery store.

The rape victim confused her memories of Thompson and the actual rapist because she had seen Thompson's image on TV shortly before she was attacked. The victim's false recollection best illustrates:state-dependent memory.mood-congruent memory.the spacing effect.source confusion.the next-in-line effect.Superior memory for rap lyrics that include the most rhymes best illustrates the value of:the next-in-line effect.the spacing effect.mood-congruent memory.the serial position effect.acoustic encoding.To help him remember the order of ingredients in difficult recipes, master chef Giulio often associates them with the route he walks to work each day. Giulio is using which mnemonic technique?peg-word systemacronymsthe method of locichunkingAn eyewitness to a grocery store robbery is asked to identify the suspects in a police lineup. Which test of memory is being utilized?recallrelearningrecognitionmisinformationreconstructionWhich of the following best describes the typical forgetting curve?a steady, slow decline in retention over timea steady, rapid decline in retention over timea rapid initial decline in retention becoming stable thereaftera slow initial decline in retention becoming rapid thereafterThe smell of freshly baked bread awakened in Mr. Hutz vivid memories of his early childhood. The aroma apparently acted as a powerful:echoic memory.retrieval cue.spacing effect.mnemonic.The misinformation effect provides evidence that memory:is constructed during encoding.is unchanging once established.may be reconstructed during recall according to how questions are framed.is highly resistant to misleading information.Remembering how to solve a jigsaw puzzle without any conscious recollection that one can do so best illustrates ________ memory.semanticexplicitflashbulbimplicitsensoryAfter reading a newspaper report suggesting that drunken driving might have contributed to a recent auto accident, several people who actually witnessed the accident began to remember the driver involved as traveling more recklessly than was actually the case. This provides an example of:proactive interference.the serial position effect.state-dependent memory.the self-reference effect.the misinformation effect.Mr. Baker was very sad when his pet turtle was run over by a car. Now he can’t stop thinking about other sad things that happened to him and its just making him more and more depressed. This may be due to Source amnesiaRepressionMood-congruent memoryRetroactive interferenceThe self-reference effect.Conscious memory of factual information is called ________ memory.proactiveproceduralexplicitimpliciticonicTim, a third-grader, learns the sentence “George Eats Old Gray Rats And Paints Houses Yellow” to help him remember the spelling of “geography.” Tim is using:a mnemonic device.the “peg-word” system.the spacing effect.the method of loci.the next-in-line effect.After suffering damage to the hippocampus, a person would probably:lose memory for skills such as bicycle riding.be incapable of being classically conditioned.lose the ability to store new facts.experience all of the above changes.Jamille performs better on foreign language vocabulary tests if she studies the material 15 minutes every day for 8 days than if she crams for 2 hours the night before the test. This illustrates what is known as:the spacing effect.the serial position effect.mood-congruent memory.chunking.automatic processing.After learning the combination for his new locker at school, Milton is unable to remember the combination for his year-old bicycle lock. Milton is experiencing the effects of:encoding failure.source amnesia.retroactive interference.proactive interference.automatic processing.In an effort to remember how to spell “rhinoceros,” Samantha spells the word aloud 30 times. She is using a technique known as:priming.rehearsal.the “peg-word” system.chunking.the method of loci.Walking through the halls of his high school 10 years after graduation, Tom experienced a flood of old memories. Tom's experience showed the role of:state-dependent memory.context dependent memory.retroactive interference.echoic memory.When Jake applied for a driver's license, he was embarrassed by a momentary inability to remember his address. Jake's memory difficulty most likely resulted from a(n) ________ failure.rehearsalstorageencodingretrievalautomatic processingParticipants in one experiment were given entirely fabricated accounts of an occasion in which they had been lost in a shopping mall during their childhood. Many of these participants later falsely recollected vivid details of the experience as having actually occurred. This experiment best illustrated:the self-reference effect.mood-congruent memory.the misinformation effect.proactive interference.the spacing effect.Arnold remembers his old girlfriend’s telephone number but he finds it difficult to recall his new girlfriend’s number. Arnold’s difficulty best illustrates:Retroactive interferenceThe next-in-line effect.Source amnesia.Proactive interference.Repression.Austin can't remember Jack Smith's name because he wasn't paying attention when Jack was formally introduced.
