Unit 2 (Part #2) - Cognition (Memory, Thinking, Problem Solving)

Thinking about thinking

• amnesia

• retrieval failure

• testing effect

• metacognition

remembering the first time you jumped off a diving board

• Semantic memory

• Flashbulb memory

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

Serial position effect demonstrates that people are more likely to remember:

• MIDDLE of a list

• FIRST and LAST items in a list.

• LAST items only

• FIRST items only

According to multi-store model of memory, the 1st stage is...

• Retrieval

• Storage

• Encoding

• Rehearsal

In an experiment, the possibility that the difference in results b/w the two groups occurred by chance.

(The difference was due to chance.)

• Positive correlation

• Negative correlation

• Statistically significant

• Not statistically significant.

the hypothetical "most typical" instance of a category

• Encoding failure

• Prototype

• Metacognition

• Schema

Scatterplots

• Experiments

• Correlations

• Natural "Quasi" Experiments

• Cause & Effect

• No correlation

• Strong Negative

• Weak Positive

• Strong Positive

The difference was NOT DUE TO CHANCE!

• Positive Correlation

• Strong Correlation

• Statistically Significant

• Not statistically signifcant

Serial Position Effect says words most likely to be FORGOTTEN are ...

• FIRST items in list

• LAST items in list

• MIDDLE of the list

• FIRST and LAST items
