SHS 367 TEST 3 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2026
1. Fillenbaum (1966) How do we store sentences?-ANSWER- Subjects saw sentence "the
window was not
closed"
then took a test on choices with different wording but one choice with same meaning -errors
were meaning based
2. memories for gist vs exact wording-ANSWER- we store the meaning ("gist") of sentences, not
exact wording
3. With sentences, what do we remember over time?-ANSWER- the meaning of the sentence,
not the
exact words
4. Sach's Galileo Experiment-ANSWER- 1 people listened to sentences (galileo story)
2 later were tested on memory of sentences -when semantic meaning stayed the same, people
remembered the sentence better
5. propositions-ANSWER- statements that express ideas, basic idea units
6. Propositions and memory errors-ANSWER- -Surface form of sentence is stored in WM (fades
fast)-meanings of propositions are constructed for LTM
7. Bransford and Franks (1971) proposition experiment-ANSWER- -subjects read sentences and
answered questions about them, then were asked which sentences were old or new -the more
propositions a sentence had, the more likely people thought they had read it before -proved
that we store propositions in LTM, when we encounter sentences with same theme, we
integrate them with
previously stored related propositions
8. What are inferences?-ANSWER- A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning
9. how do inferences lead to memory errors?-ANSWER- -can lead to false recognition errors-
related ideas are fused together
ex. "you said they were dating"
, "No, I said i saw them having dinner together"
10. where is surface form stored?-ANSWER- working memory, fades fast
11. what is stored in Long term memory?-ANSWER- propositions and inferences
12. false recognition errors-ANSWER- people falsely recognize a new sentence
13. what are the two levels of discourse structure?-ANSWER- global and local
14. local structure-ANSWER- The relationships among the individual sentences, how well does
the sentence relate to the
one before and after it??
15. Anaphoric reference-ANSWER- Relating a current item (anaphor) with a previous item
(antecedent)
16. Cataphoric reference-ANSWER- relating a current item with an upcoming item

17. when antecedent is not clear?-ANSWER- -leads to confusion
ex. Mr. Nixon suggested to Mr. Nordon that he drive his car
18. Given/New Strategy (Clark & Haviland, 1977)-ANSWER- -based on what a listener expects -
Given= info that someone already knows-New= info that someone doesn't know yet-if someone
gives the new information as given, it's sounds weird
19. coherence strategies-ANSWER- direct matching, bridging
20. Direct Matching-ANSWER- -the given info directly matches an antecedent-Matching
concepts, not words
21. bridging-ANSWER- the given info matches the inferred info
22. global coherence-ANSWER- depends on how well the discourse follows our event schemes
(scripts)
23. an event schema-ANSWER- - contains knowledge about events-gained through experience-
has the most important characteristics of an event -specifies expected arrangements-guides
recognition and understanding of situations
