This type of memory is stays active in your brain for only 5-10 minutes

• Sensory

• Short-term and working

• Long-term nondeclarative

• Longterm declarative

This statement is an example of ______ memory: "I remember the first time I went swimming when I was 7 years old".

• Episodic-Nondeclarative

• Procedural-Nondeclarative

• Semantic-Declarative

• Episodic- Declarative

Encoding is the process of creating physical memory traces in the brain and requires _______ and _______ to store novel information (select two)

• Acquisition of sensory information

• Retrieval of previous memory traces

• Consolidation of memory traces

• Rehearsal of previous memory traces

Caitlin's anterograde amnesia was an example of:

• Disrupted sensory processing

• Inability to devote focus and attention

• Loss of declarative memory storage

• Unable to consolidate short-term memory into long-term memory

Working memory is controlled by the central executive functions of the brain and has two active loops (select two below)

• Sensory loop that actively filters incoming information

• Visuospatial sketch pad that manipulates visual images

• Phonological loop that constantly rehearses acoustic information

• Schematic pad that records factual information

Memories are stored as "schema" within the brain, which are really just:

• Large areas of the brain that store information based on its type

• Individual neurons that each encode a single memory trace from an event

• Networked neurons that store different parts of a memory that fire together

An example of Spaced Retrieval Practice would be to:

• Rehearsing the same page of music at the same time every day

• Starting every work session with a cup of coffee

• Rewarding solid blocks of work time with a small reward

• Working in an area free of distractions

Pairing a stimulus with no meaning (ex: homework) with a meaningful stimulus (ex: candy) to generate a conditioned response (ex: liking to start work because it means a little candy) is an example of:

• Memory Decay

• Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning

• Extinction Response

• Encoding of Schemas

Which of the following is a quality of a GROWTH mindset?

• Mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow

• Challenges are scary and should be avoided

• Grades are the only thing that really matters

• The intelligence you are born with is unchangeable

Spaced Repetition/Retrieval Practice means:

• Focusing on what you got wrong and ignoring how to make it better next time

• Learning in small pieces so the brain can effectively consolidate short-term into long-term memory

• Cramming the night before a test so the material is fresh

• Using mistakes to "Fail Forward" repeatedly
