Psych 111 Exam Questions And Answers
100% Pass
What is memory? - answer✔An active system that recieves information from the senses, puts that
information into usable form, organizes it as it stores it away, and then retrieves the information from
storage
What are the three processes/stages of memory? - answer✔1. Encoding
2. Storage
3. Retrieval
Encoding - answer✔the set of mental operations that people perform on sensory information to convert
that information into a form that is usable in the brains storage systems
Storage - answer✔holding onto information for some period of time
Retrieval - answer✔getting information that i sin storage into a form that can be used
Encoding Problems - answer✔Doesn't get past sensory memory. Encoding failure which is the failure to
process information into memory
Storage Problems - answer✔Storage Failure
memory trace(physical change in the neurons) decay or disuse
Retrieval Problems - answer✔Interference theory
proactive interference
retroactive interference
Proactive interference - answer✔memory problem that occurs when older information prevents or
interferes with the learning or retrieval of newer information PRO PROGRESSION can't progress ex.
getting a new phone huber but you often only remember the old

Retroactive interference - answer✔memory retrieval problem that occurs when newer information
prevents or interferes with the retrieval of older information RETRO RETRIEVE can't retrieve ex. moving
back from US to england where they drive on the left
Reasons for forgetting - answer✔1. Encoding Failure
2. Decay or Disuse
3. Proactive Interference
4. Retroactive Interference
What are the three models of memory? - answer✔1.Information-processing model
2. Parallel distributed processing model
3. Levels-of-processing model
Information-processing model - answer✔model of memory that assumes the processing of information
for memory storage is similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages
Parallel distributed processing model - answer✔a model of memory in which memory processes are
proposed to take place at the same time over a large network of neural connections
Levels-of-processing model - answer✔model of memory that assumes information that is more "deeply
processed", or processed according to its meaning rather than just the sound or physical characteristics
of the word or words, will be remembered more efficiently and for a longer period of time (using
meaning to remember new things relating it to something you know)
How does memory relate to the gospel? - answer✔Memory is essential to learning, if we can't
remember we can't learn.
What kind of benefits do memories give us? - answer✔When we make decisions good or bad, we still
remember the consequence and how we felt. Because we have that memory we know how to respond
when we encounter the same instances
How does memory relate to agency, repentance of our sins, or falling in love? - answer✔if we can't
remember sinning how can we repent
What are the three types of memory? - answer✔1.Sensory memory
2. Short-term memory
3. Long-term memory
Sensory Memory - answer✔the very first stage of memory. the point at which information enters the
nervous system through the sensory system
What are the two types of sensory memory? - answer✔1. Iconic sensory memories
