PSYC 230 - LC 2 (LOs, Kahoot, & PollEvs) || 100% Correct
Answers.
What are the different types of Sensory memory? correct answers • echoic - heard
• iconic - seen
Sensory memory- how much and how long? correct answers • large capacity
• lasts milliseconds-seconds
STM- How much and how long? correct answers • small capacity
• lasts seconds
How can we improve our STM capacity? correct answers rehearsing
What is the difference between STM and WM? correct answers • WM is where we work
out/manipulate info in the STM
• (phonological loop, central executive, visuospatial sketch pad)
Why do we need a WM system? correct answers it's where we manipulate info
Describe the difference between WM & LTM and the role they each play in the serial position
curve. correct answers • LTM - information stored after ~30 seconds; primacy effect (info
learned first out of a list)
• WM - information still in STM; recency effect (info learned last out of a list)
Name, describe and give examples of the various ways memories can be coded. correct answers •
visual - rotating numbers
• auditory - letters sounding similar (P and B)
• semantic - song stuck in head
Who is HM & what did he and similar patients teach up about memory? correct answers • Lost
his hippocampus and couldn't make new LTMs
• Learned that LTM an STM are different
Explain and gives examples of each type of explicit memory. correct answers • semantic -
*facts* about the states
• episodic - what you *experienced* on vacation
Draw the hierarchy of all of the various types of memory. Explain and give examples of each
type. correct answers 1. long term
a. explicit
• semantic - facts
• episodic - experiencies
b. implicit
• conditioning - associating a CS with a US for a reaction
• priming - hearing something in passing and then noticing it later
, • procedural - how to tie your shoes
• sensitization/habituation - increasingly noticing/becoming used to something
2. short term + working
3. sensory
a. iconic - what you saw
b. echoic - what you heard
What are some research proven strategies to increase your retention of the material in this class
for the exams and beyond? Provide examples of these strategies. correct answers handwriting
notes, teaching the material to others
Should I use my laptop to take notes in class? correct answers not bad, but handwritten are better
Why is it important for us to forget? correct answers so we can learn new info; struggle for recall
can strengthen memory and learning
What are flashbulb memories- how are they similar and different from other types of episodic
memories? correct answers collective memories that groups have where they feel like they can
remember more details around major events (9/11, COVID lockdown)
What is MPI and do the effects seem to be related to Source Monitoring or Retroactive
Interference. What is the evidence for this? correct answers • MPI - misleading postevent info
• source monitoring - determining the source of a memory
• retroactive interference - info learned after the memory that can alter the memory
• all have to do with false memories
Explain a few reasons why we need to be cautious of eyewitness testimony. correct answers
unreliable (false memories, transfer appropriate processing)
Type used when remembering the parts of the limbic system
- Semantic
- Implicit
- Episodic
- Priming correct answers Semantic
Type most likely to be affected with Hippocampal damage
- Perceptual Priming
- Procedural
- Episodic
- Habituation correct answers Episodic
Your neighbor's garage band music seems to get louder by the hour.
- Priming
- Episodic
- Sensitization
