MIDTERM EXAM REVISION QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS (GRADED A+) (100% GUARANTEE) (2024 UPDATE)
Explicit Memory - ANSWER- Conscious recall of facts and events (e.g., remembering your
2nd-grade teacher's name)
Shallow Encoding Example - ANSWER- Mnemonics or tricks (e.g., ROYGBIV) help with rote
memorization but lack deep understanding
Deep Encoding Example - ANSWER- Elaborating on the meaning of a concept or connecting
it to personal experiences enhances memory
Testing Effect - ANSWER- Being tested on material enhances memory retention more than re-
reading the material
Recognition - ANSWER- Familiarity-based retrieval (e.g., recognizing a face)
Recall - ANSWER- Actively reconstructing information without cues (e.g., remembering a
person's name)
Cued Recall Example - ANSWER- A scent or image can trigger a specific memory related to
the cue
Encoding Specificity - ANSWER- Memory retrieval is better when the context during encoding
matches the context during retrieval
, Spacing Effect Example - ANSWER- Spreading out study sessions over time improves
memory more than cramming
Sleep's Role in Memory - ANSWER- Sleep helps consolidate memories by reprocessing and
organizing information in the brain
Autobiographical Memory: Definition - ANSWER- Episodic memory of personal life events,
often vivid and detailed
Gender and Autobiographical Memory - ANSWER- Women tend to report more details and
earlier memories than men
Cultural Differences in Autobiographical Memory - ANSWER- Collectivist cultures focus on
group-related memories, while individualistic cultures emphasize personal experiences
Reminiscence Bump Causes - ANSWER- Occurs due to identity formation, brain development,
and significant life events during ages 10-30
Childhood Amnesia Causes - ANSWER- Brain and language development, and self-identity
formation, contribute to lack of early memories
Positivity Bias in Reminiscence - ANSWER- Older adults tend to remember more positive
