Memory Processes Quiz

What are the three core processes involved in human memory according to the text?

• Encoding, Storing, and Remembering

• Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval

• Sensing, Processing, and Recalling

• Sensing, Storing, and Reacting

Which parts of the brain are involved in long-term implicit and explicit memories?

• Hippocampus, amygdala, and neocortex

• Basal ganglia, cerebellum, and frontal lobe

• Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and cerebellum

• Amygdala, neocortex, and parietal lobe

According to the Atkinson–Shiffrin model, what happens to information that is not rehearsed in short-term memory?

• It is transferred to long-term memory.

• It is lost from short-term memory.

• It is encoded into sensory memory.

• It is immediately retrieved for use.

What is the original model term for what is now often referred to as 'working memory'?

What is the consequence if any of the three fundamental processes of memory (encoding, storage, retrieval) fails, according to Figure 5.2?

• Memory will be temporarily inaccessible.

• Memory will fail.

• Memory will be stored in a different format.

• Memory will be enhanced.

What is the duration of information storage in sensory memory?

• Momentary — about 0.2–4 seconds

• Temporary — 18–20 seconds

• Indefinite

• Up to a lifetime

Which type of memory stores information for a very brief period, from 0.2 to 4 seconds?

• Long-term memory

• Short-term memory

• Sensory memory

• Working memory

What happens to information in sensory memory that is not attended to?

• It is transferred to short-term memory.

• It is stored for up to a lifetime.

• It is lost from memory completely.

• It is maintained in conscious awareness for immediate use.

How much information can short-term memory (STM) typically hold?

• Vast, potentially unlimited

• 7 ± 2 pieces of information

• Information for re-access and use at a later time

• An exact copy of its original sensory form

What is the function of sensory memory?

• Information storage for re-access and use at a later time

• Maintains information in conscious awareness for immediate use

• Receives sensory information from the environment

• Stores information up to a lifetime
