Memory

What is memory?

• A passive system that only stores information

• A system that receives, organizes, stores, and retrieves information

• A system that only retrieves information

• A system that processes visual data only

Which process involves converting sensory information into a form usable by the brain's storage systems?

• Retrieval

• Encoding

• Storage

• Repetition

What is storage in the context of memory?

• Storing memories forever

• Storing information for a certain duration

• Storing information for the short-term only

• Storing sensory input for future use

What is retrieval in the memory process?

• Storing memories for the long-term

• Retrieving memories and then erasing them

• Getting information out of storage

• Storing information after processing

Which model compares memory processing to the operation of a computer?

• Information-Processing Model

• Levels-of-Processing Model

• PDP Model

• Memory Span Model

What is the main idea behind the Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) Model?

• Memory is stored in one area of the brain

• Memory processes occur at the same time across a network of neural connections

• Memory is processed in sequential steps

• Memory is stored in isolated segments

The Levels-of-Processing Model suggests:

• Memory processed more deeply is stored longer

• Memory processing is superficial

• Memory retrieval does not depend on depth

• Memory is only stored temporarily

Which stage of memory involves raw sensory input entering the nervous system?

• Long-term memory

• Short-term memory

• Sensory memory

• Working memory

What type of memory is associated with visual sensory information?

• Echoic memory

• Iconic memory

• Procedural memory

• Declarative memory

How long does iconic memory last?

• Several minutes

• Several hours

• A fraction of a second

• A few seconds
