- Q1'Coding is acoustic, capacity is limited and duration is between about 18 and 30 seconds' Which memory is being described?procedural memorylong-term memoryshort-term memorysensory register30s
- Q2The term coding refers to what?the length of time information is stored for in memorythe amount of information that can be stored in a memorythe transfer of information from one memory store to anotherthe format in which information is stored in memory30s
- Q3Which of these statements best describes long-term memory?temporary memory storepermanent memory store, with semantic codingmemory store with semantic coding and temporary storagememory store with limited capacity and acoustic coding30s
- Q4Which of the following are features of the sensory register?coding is semanticthe capacity is very largeit has a capacity of 7 items, plus or minus 2memories in the register can last up to a life time30s
- Q5the multi-store memory model describes which of the following memory store?procedural and episodicgood memory and bad memorysensory register, LTM & STMLTM & STM only30s
- Q6The process in which information is held in STM by repeating it over and over again. What is being described here?retrievalmaintenance rehearsalenhanced retrievalconsolidation30s
- Q7The case of HM supports the multi-store model because:he could never learn a new skillhe had a good memory for digits, but not for wordshe had a good immediate STM span, but could not tell you whom he had spoken to an hour later, poor LTMhe had poor LTM and STM30s
- Q8Baddeley investigated coding in LTM and STM by giving participants, a list of words that sounded similar, sounded different, different meanings and similar meanings. He found that....we code acoustically and semantically in STMwe code acoustically in LTMwe code acoustically in STM but semantically in LTMwe have a duration of 15 seconds for STM30s
- Q9Jacobs was famous for his digit span test. He found that our STM for numbers were5.36.37.39.330s
- Q10Jacobs concluded that STM has a capacity of between4-8 (6 +/-2)7-133-55 and 9 (7 +/-2)30s
- Q11Miller, also believed that you could recall 5 words as well as they can recall 5 letters through a process called...clunkingchunkingportioningdunking30s
- Q12Peterson & Peterson used trigrams to measureduration of LTMduration of STMcoding of STMcapacity of LTM30s
- Q13Peterson and Peterson used a distraction task of counting backwards in order to prevent...cheatingboredomconcentrationrehearsal30s
- Q14Peterson and Peterson found that when asked to recall the trigrams after 3 seconds, 6 seconds, and 18 seconds, the percentages of accurate recall were...80%, 50%, 10%85%, 40%, 20%100%, 50%, 25%90%, 60%, 15%30s
- Q15Bahrick looked at LTM in remembering school friends names. When asked to identisy names through photos 15 years since leaving school BLANK could be named. Amazingly, 48 years later BLANK could be identified correctly.80% and 40%100% and 90%90% and 70%95% and 90%30s
