PSYCH UGA 1101E TEST 2 QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Memory - ANSWER learning that persists over time; it is information that has been acquired and stored
and can be retrieved
Alzheimer's disease - ANSWER begins as difficulty remembering new information, progressing to an
inability to do everyday tasks
Three measurements of memory retention... - ANSWER recall—retrieving information that is not
currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time. A fill-in-the-blank question
tests your recall.
recognition—identifying items previously learned. A multiple-choice question tests your recognition.
relearning—learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time. When you study
for a final exam or engage a language used in early childhood, you will relearn the material more easily
than you did initially.
Overlearning (Additional rehearsal) - ANSWER Increases retention
Information processing model
Hint: ESR - ANSWER encoding: get information into our brain
storage: retain that information
retrieval: later get the information back out
Parallel Processing - ANSWER The brain's processing of many thing simultaneously (both consciously and
unconsciously)
,memory forming process - ANSWER 1. sensory memory: the immediate, very brief recording of sensory
information in the memory system
2. short-term memory: activated memory that holds a few items briefly, such as digits of a phone
number while calling, before the information is stored or forgotten.
3. long-term memory: the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes
knowledge, skills, and experiences.
Working memory - ANSWER a newer understanding of short-term memory that adds conscious, active
processing of incoming sensory information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory
Explicit Memories (declarative memories) - ANSWER The facts and experiences we can consciously know
and "declare"
Effortful Processing - ANSWER Conscious encoding of explicit memories
Automatic Processing - ANSWER Unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time,
and frequency, and of well-earned information, such as word meanings
Implicit Memories (nondeclarative memories) - ANSWER retention of learned skills or classically
conditioned associations independent of conscious recollection. Occurs through automatic processing
What do implicit memories include? - ANSWER procedural memory for automatic skills and classically
conditioned association associations.
Iconic Memory - ANSWER A quickly fading visual memory, last milliseconds
chunking information - ANSWER Organizing items into familiar, manageable units- enables us to recall it
more easily
mnemonics - ANSWER Memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and
organizational devices
,Testing effect (Retrieval practice effect or test-enhanced learning) - ANSWER Enhanced memory after
retrieving, rather than simply rereading, information.
Shallow Processing - ANSWER Encoding on a basic level, based on the structure or appearance of words (
encodes on an elementary level, such as a word's letters or, at a more intermediate level, a word's
sound.)
Deep processing - ANSWER Encodes semantically, based on the meaning of the words
Self-reference effect - ANSWER When asked how well certain adjectives describe someone else, we often
forget them; asked how well the adjectives describe us, we often remember them

respond with your answer of "Yes." This is likely due to:
A. declarative memory
B. iconic memory
C. implicit memory
D. echoic memory - ANSWER D. echoic memory

stimuli, like a picture-image that lasts only a few tenths of a second
A. echoic
B. implicit

Episodic (experienced events)
