QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTION
Memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The retention of information or experience over time
as a result of three key processes :encoding, storage, and retrieval
Encoding - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The first step in memory. The process by which
information gets into memory storage
Divided attention - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Concentrating on more than one activity at
the same time
Sustained attention - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The ability to maintain attention to a
selected stimulus for a prolonged period of time
Multitasking - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Dividing attention between 3 or more activities
Elaboration - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The formation of a number of different
connections around a stimulus at any given level of memory encoding
Levels of processing - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A continuum of memory processing from
shallow, to intermediate, to deep with deeper processing producing better memory
Storage - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The retention of information over time and how this
information is represented in memory
Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Theory stating that memory storage
involves three separate systems; Sensory memory, short term memory, and long-term
Sensory memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Memory system that involves holding
information from the world in its original sensory form for only an instant, not much longer than
the brief time it is exposed to the visual, auditory, and other senses
, echoic memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅This refers to auditory sensory memory, which
is retained for up to several seconds
Iconic memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅refers to the visual century memory, which is
retained only for about 1/4 of a second
Short term memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Limited capacity memory system in which
information is usually retained for only as long as 30 seconds unless strategies are used to retain
it longer
Working memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A combination of componen that allow
individuals to hold information temporarily as they perform cognitive tasks. A kind of mental
workbench on which the brain manipulates and assembles information to guide understanding,
decision making, and problem
chunking - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Grouping or packing information that exceeds the
seven plus or minus 2 memory span into higher order units that can be remembered as single
units
Rehearsal - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The conscious repetition of information (in short
term memory)
Long term memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A relatively permanent type of memory
that stores huge amount of information for a long time
Explicit memory (declarative memory) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The conscious
recollection of information, such as specific facts or events and, at least in humans, information
that can be verbally communicated
Episodic memory - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The retention of information about the
where, when, and what of life happenings -that is how individuals remember life episodes
