Psy 200 Exam 2 Study Guide Questions and Answers 2024
Update 100% Solved




What is memory - ANS ✔✔ - The ability of our mind to store & remember information
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - Encoding is how our brain breaks down information into something we can understand as well
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



as putting it in terms we can store in our brains.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is storage? - ANS ✔✔ - Storage is placing newly acquired information into memory which is then later modified
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is retrieval? - ANS ✔✔ - the process of getting information out of memory storage
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




Explain the study by Craik & Tulving (1975) - ANS ✔✔ - Researchers presented participants with a series of words and asked
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



them to make one of three types of judgements
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




a) Semantic judgement - required the participants to think about the meaning of the word.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




b) Rhyme judgements - required the participants to think about the sound of the word.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




c) Visual judgements - required the participant to think about the appearance of the word.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




The type of judgement task had a powerful impact on their memories. The participants who made semantic judgements had
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



much better memory for the words than did participants who had thought about how the word looked or sounded.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



**The results of this has shown that long-term retention is greatly enhanced by elaborative encoding**
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is visual imagery encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - storing new information by converting it into mental pictures
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What area of the brain is active during semantic encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - Frontal lobe
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What area of the brain is active during visual encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - Occipital lobe
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is organizational encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - the process of categorizing information according to the relationships among a
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



series of items
ty ty ty




What is semantic encoding? - ANS ✔✔ - the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is the sensory memory store? - ANS ✔✔ - A type of storage that holds sensory information for a few seconds or less.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is iconic memory? - ANS ✔✔ - a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a photographic or picture-image memory
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



lasting no more than a few tenths of a second
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is echoic memory? - ANS ✔✔ - a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




Describe the experiment by Sperling (1960) and how it showed sensory memory exists - ANS ✔✔ - Iconic memory test: When
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



a grid of letters is flashed on screen for only 1/20th of a second, it is difficult to recall individual letters. But if prompted to
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



remember a particular row immediately after the grid is shown, research participants will do so with high accuracy.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty

,Sperling used this procedure to demonstrate that although iconic memory stores the whole grid, the information fades away
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



too quickly for a person to recall everything
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




How long does sensory memory last? - ANS ✔✔ - 1/5 to 1/2 of a second
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is short term memory? - ANS ✔✔ - a memory storage system that briefly holds a limited amount of information in
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



awareness
ty




How long can information stay in short term memory? - ANS ✔✔ - Between 15 & 30secs
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is rehearsal? - ANS ✔✔ - the process of keeping information in short-term memory by mentally repeating it
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is the capacity of short term memory? - ANS ✔✔ - +/- 7 items
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is chunking? - ANS ✔✔ - organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically such as a phone
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



number
ty




instead of seeing 1235557890, we'd organize it as 123-555-7890
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is working memory & how does it show the active nature of this type of memory? - ANS ✔✔ - What you're thinking of
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



in that exact moment (short term memory)
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



Your mind is constantly thinking of different things so your short term memory is constantly changing with what it was
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



focusing on.
ty ty




What is long-term memory? - ANS ✔✔ - the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is capacity? - ANS ✔✔ - The amount of information that can be held in a memory store
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is anterograde amnesia? - ANS ✔✔ - inability to form new memories
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is retrograde amnesia? - ANS ✔✔ - Inability to remember events that occurred before the incidence of trauma or the
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



onset of the disease that caused the amnesia
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What part of the brain seems to be important in moving information to the long-term memory store (and is damaged in
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



anterograde amnesia)? - ANS ✔✔ - Hippocampus
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is consolidation? - ANS ✔✔ - process that maintains, strengthens, and modifies memories that are already in long-term
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



memory
ty




What is reconsolidation? - ANS ✔✔ - the action of reactivating existing memories from the past
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




Researchers believe that the connections between neurons might be the basis for long-term memory. What physical changes
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



seem to result from learning? - ANS ✔✔ - New neural pathways are formed in the brain between neurons as we learn new
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



material
ty




What is long-term potentiation? - ANS ✔✔ - increase in synaptic plasticity/strength of synapse. key component of learning.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What are retrieval cues? - ANS ✔✔ - external information that helps bring stored information to mind like a familiar smell or
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



sound
ty




What is the encoding specificity principle? - ANS ✔✔ - recall is better if the retrieval context is similar to the encoding context
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




example: chewing a piece of gum while studying, then chewing the same piece of gum during the exam
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty




What is state-dependent retrieval? - ANS ✔✔ - The state you're in such as being happy or sad, while determine which
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



memories etc are more easily retrieved. Your state of consciousness being the same.
