Topic 4 - Memory

While preparing for an upcoming exam, James is reviewing his psychology notes. What stage of memory is James currently using?

• maintenance

• retrieval

• storage

• encoding

What is the first step in the process of memory?

• Retrieval

• Storage

• Encoding

• Recognition

Which term describes the phase where the brain keeps the encoded information?

• Encoding

• Retrieval

• Storage

• Processing

What is retrieval in the context of memory?

• The initial recording of information

• The maintenance of information over time

• The process of recalling stored information

• The deletion of old information

How is sensory input transformed in the memory process?

• By organizing it into retrievable files

• By converting it into a form that the brain can store

• By discarding irrelevant details

• By transferring it directly to long-term memory

What is the primary function of maintaining encoded information in a memory store?

• To delete old memories

• To preserve memories for future retrieval

• To increase brain activity

• To create new memory spaces

According to the analogy provided, how is memory storage similar to storing files on a computer?

• Both require physical space

• Both involve organizing information for easier access

• Both use electrical signals to store information

• Both are permanent and unchangeable

How does long-term memory differ from a static storage space?

• It cannot store visual information

• It is dynamic and changes over time

• It only stores information for a short period

• It functions without any organization

What is the process of retrieving information from long-term memory to be used in working memory known as?

• Encoding

• Consolidation

• Retrieval

• Recognition

Which type of long-term memory is responsible for storing information about our life events?

• Semantic Memory

• Implicit Memory

• Episodic Memory

• Short-term Memory
