Question 3

Which of the following best describes the function of rehearsal in short-term memory?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

The capacity of the phonological loop in working memory is best represented by which equation?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Which technique can increase the effective capacity of short-term memory by grouping information?

Accepted Answer

Chunking

Question 6

A student is trying to remember a list of words by linking each word to a personal experience. Which encoding strategy is the student using?

Accepted Answer

Self-referent encoding

Question 7

Which phenomenon occurs when a person cannot recall a word but feels that retrieval is imminent, often due to insufficient retrieval cues?

Accepted Answer

Tip-of-the-Tongue phenomenon

Question 8

According to the levels of processing theory, which type of processing leads to the best retention of information?

Accepted Answer

Deep (semantic) processing

Question 9

Which of the following is NOT a criticism of the levels of processing theory?

Accepted Answer

It provides a comprehensive explanation for all types of memory encoding

Question 10

A witness to a crime is asked leading questions by police, which alters their memory of the event. This is an example of:

Accepted Answer

Misinformation effect

Question 11

Which memory system is responsible for the brief storage of information from the environment, such as sights and sounds, before it is processed further?

Accepted Answer

Sensory memory

Question 12

Which process is most likely to be disrupted by external events, leading to forgetting in short-term memory?

Accepted Answer

Rehearsal

Question 13

Which of the following best illustrates the use of schemas in memory reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Recalling details of a subway scene based on prior knowledge of subways

Question 14

Which mnemonic device involves linking new information to related ideas, facts, or situations?

Accepted Answer

Elaborative encoding

Question 15

In the Stroop Test, participants are asked to name the color of the ink rather than read the word. This test primarily demonstrates which cognitive process?

Accepted Answer

Selective attention

Question 16

Which type of forgetting is most likely to occur when new information interferes with the recall of previously learned material?

Accepted Answer

Interference

Question 17

A person is able to recall a list of items better when they are in the same environment where the list was learned. This phenomenon is best explained by:

Accepted Answer

Context-dependent retrieval cues

Question 18

Which of the following is an example of deep processing according to the levels of processing theory?
