Memory Models Revision

'Coding acoustic, capacity is limited and duration is between 18 and 30 seconds.' Which memory store is being described?

• Sensory register

• Long-term memory

• Short-term memory

• Procedural memory

The term coding refers to what?

• The format in which information is stored in memory

• The length of time information is stored for in memory

• The amount of information that can be stored in memory in any one time

• The transfer of information from one memory store to another

Which of these statements best describes LTM?

• Memory store with limited capacity and acoustic coding

• Permanent memory store, with semantic coding

• Temporary memory store, with visual coding

• Memory store with semantic coding and limited capacity

Peterson and Peterson investigated

• The capacity of STM

• The duration of STM

• The coding of STM

• The duration of LTM

Which of the following are features of the sensory register?

• It has a capacity of seven items, plus or minus two

• Memories in the register can last up to a lifetime

• The capacity is very large

• Coding is semantic

The MSM describes which of the following memory stores

• STM and LTM only

• Sensory register, LTM and STM

• Episodic memory, semantic memory and procedural memory

• Good memory and poor memory

The process by which information is held in STM by repeating it over and over again. What is being described here?

• Retrieval

• Consolidation

• Elaborative rehearsal

• Maintenance rehearsal

The case of HM supports the multi-store model because he

• Had a poor LTM and a poor STM

• Had a good immediate memory span but could not remember whom he had spoken to just one hour earlier

• Could never learn a new skill or remember practising it

• Had a good STM span for digits but a poor one for letters

Which of the following are most likely to be stored in episodic long-term memory?

• Memories for facts such as 'Loftus is a psychologist'

• Memories of events that have happened to us at various times, involving other people and places

• Our knowledge of what words mean

• Memories of our skilled actions, such as being able to play guitar

'Time-stamped and needs to be consciously searched' is a description of which type of long-term memory?

• Very LTM

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory
