Memory Revision questions for: Attention; Memory, Retrieval & Forgetting; And Amnesia Holitha published on April 30, 20125 responses 2 « Previous Next » Questions in vertical order 1/15 What is distributed learning? Learning one new thing every day is better than learning several things at once Spacing out learning of a single task over time improves long term ability 2/15 Gray and Wedderburn (1960) provide support for Broadbent (1958). True or False? True False 3/15 Broadbent (1958) proposed 'Late Selection Theory'. True or False? True False 4/15 Verfaellie, Koseff and Alexander (2000) found: The episodic memory is associated with the hippocampus, whilst the underlying cortices, are related to semantic memories. Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired episodic memory, but intact semantic memory Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired semantic memory, but intact episodic memory 5/15 Which studies found evidence fore distributed learning? Hint: 3 choices Roediger and Karpicke (2006) Pashler et al. (2005) Lorge (1930) Cain and Whiley (1939) Keppel (1964 and 1967) 6/15 Forgetting (in terms of the savings method) can be described as an approximately logarithmic function. True or False? True False 7/15 Recent research by Lavie (2005) concluded... Broadbent is correct Treisman is correct Deutsch and Deutsch are correct More than one theory may be correct 8/15 Which of these studies provide evidence for a separate long term and short term memory store. Hint: 3 choices The case study of HM (Henry Molaison) Bruce and Pihl (1997) The case study of KC - Tulving (2006) Spiers, Maguire and Burgess (2001) The case study of KF - Shallice and Warrington (1970) 9/15 What does consolidation theory claim? The more similarities between learning and retrieval, the better recall will be. Information which is rehearsed is immediately stored in LTM Consolidation refers to the process of transferring memories to LTM, and can take years. 10/15 Godden and Baddely (1975) conducted research into context reinstatement. True or False? True False 11/15 Which of these statements influenced/support consolidation theory Hint: 3 choices Of 2 memories of the same strength, the older one will decay slower (Jost's law 1987) Forgetting takes less time immediately after learning Forgotten memories are repressed by our subconscious Retrograde amnesia has more effect on newer memories 12/15 Yasuda, Watanabe and Ono (1997) found: The episodic memory is associated with the hippocampus, whilst the underlying cortices, are related to semantic memories. Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired episodic memory, but intact semantic memory Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired semantic memory, but intact episodic memory 13/15 Which of these describes anterograde amnesia? Inability to recall events that occurred before the onset of amnesia. Inability to store new events since the onset of amnesia in the LTM Reduced digit span capability 14/15 Tick the statements which are true Hint: 2 choices Proactive interference is when old information interferes with the learning of new information Proactive interference is when learning new information interferes with previously learnt information Retroactive interference is when old information interferes with the learning of new information Retroactive interference is when learning new information interferes with previously learnt information 15/15 Vargha-Khadem et al. (1997) found: The episodic memory is associated with the hippocampus, whilst the underlying cortices, are related to semantic memories. Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired episodic memory, but intact semantic memory Evidence of amnesiacs with impaired semantic memory, but intact episodic memory
