Approaches and Memory Lower Sixth Mix

'Coding is acoustic, capacity is limited and duration is between 18 and 30 seconds.' Which memory store is being described?

• Sensory register

• Long-term memory

• Short-term memory

• Procedural memory

The term coding refers to what?

• The format in which information is stored in memory

• The length of time information is stored for in memory

• The amount of information that can be stored in memory at any one time

• The transfer of information from one memory store to another

Which of these statements best describes LTM?

• Memory store with limited capacity and acoustic coding

• Permanent memory store, with semantic coding

• Temporary memory store with visual coding

• Memory store with semantic coding and limited capacity

Peterson and Peterson investigated:

• The capacity of STM

• The duration of STM

• The coding of STM

• The duration of LTM

Which of the following are features of the sensory register?

• It has a capacity of seven items, plus or minus two.

• Memories in the register can last up to a lifetime.

• The capacity if very large

• Coding is semantic

The multi-store model describes which of following memory stores?

• Short-term memory and long-term memory only

• Sensory register, long-term memory and short-term memory

• Episodic memory, semantic memory and procedural memory

• Good memory and poor memory

'The process by which information is held in STM by repeating over and over again.' What is being described here?

• Retrieval

• Consolidation

• Elaborative rehearsal

• Maintenance rehearsal

Which of the following are most likely to be stored in episodic long-term memory

• Memories for facts such as 'Elizabeth Loftus is a psychologist.'

• Memories of events that have happened to us at various times, involving other people and places.

• Our knowledge of what words mean.

• Memories of our skilled actions, such as being able to play the guitar.

'Time-stamped and needs to be consciously searched' is a description of which type of long-term memory?

• Very long-term memory

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory

The case study of KF supports the WMM because he had:

• A poor STM but intact LTM

• Poor STM for verbal material but near-normal STM for visual information

• A near-normal STM but could not recall events from long ago

• No ability to learn new skills
