Questions With Correct Answers
Representing verbal info - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-retain gist/ meaning
| | | | | | | |
vs. exact wording
| | |
when told a story people retain the gist of the story not the exact
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
wording
Visual-spatial information - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-stored as
| | | | | |
propositions (verbal statements) or as visual images ( a visual
| | | | | | | | | |
representation that preserves spatial and form information)
| | | | | |
Evidence for a visual-spatial format - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-3 ways:
| | | | | | | |
1) Scanning experiments
| |
2)mental rotation experiments
| |
3) eidetic imagery
| |
Scanning experiments - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-memorize map of island.
| | | | | | |
Then, imagine map of island. Scan from location x to location y. RT is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
proportional to distance between the 2 points
| | | | | |
,mental rotation experiments - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-presents subjects
| | | | | | |
with letters some of which are mirrors reversed and rotated at varying
| | | | | | | | | | | |
degrees from upright
| |
Task--identify as quickly as possible if letter is mirror reversed
| | | | | | | | | |
Results: time required to respond depends on degree of rotation
| | | | | | | | |
Evidence: that subjects mentally rotate figure to upright position to
| | | | | | | | | |
compare it with an image stored in memory
| | | | | | |
eidetic imagery - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-long lasting and detailed
| | | | | | | |
images of a visual scene. Can be scanned or "looked at"
| | | | | | | | | |
representation of Concepts (word meanings) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | |
Concept refer to categories of things
| | | | |
Prototype theory of concepts - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-picture-like
| | | | | | |
representation of typical or average member of a category | | | | | | | | |
I.e. word meanings/concepts are not just definitional, but are
| | | | | | | | |
represented by prototypes (the average/typical member)
| | | | |
, Hierarchical model of semantic (conceptual) memory - CORRECT
| | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Each category has properties which are stored as high as | | | | | | | | | |
possible in the hierarchy lower categories inherit the properties of the
| | | | | | | | | | |
higher categories to which they belong
| | | | |
Links between different categories and between categories and their
| | | | | | | | |
properties
basic level of hierarchy - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-middle level,the level at
| | | | | | | | |
which people best think about and categorized an object
| | | | | | | | |
why are having categorical representations useful? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Rapid organization,classification, and prediction of aspects | | | | |
of experiences
| | |
Also helps in reasoning and communicating about the world
| | | | | | | |
forgetting curve (short term) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-have similar
| | | | | | | |
shapes
i.e.learning faces, pictures, etc | | |
forgetting curve (long term) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-have different
| | | | | | | |
shapes,
