QUESTION 1
- - - - - memory is a component of - - - - - memory that can be
regarded as conscious memories.
a. Explicit; short-term
b. Implicit; long-term
c. Explicit; long-term
d. Implicit; procedural
Option c is correct. It is essential to understand the various
structural components of short- and long- term memory and how
they relate to each other (see CP, p. 165 for an outline).
QUESTION 2
Stephan and Aleko are studying for their grade 12 mathematics
exams. They are making really good progress as they discuss
various examples and apply techniques to problem solving that they
had learned since grade 10. This is an example of how Stephan’s
and Aleko’s - - - - - memory and - - - - - memory are working
together during their exam preparation.
a. working; long-term
b. sensory; short-term
c. iconic; procedural
d. echoic; episodic
Option a is correct. Whilst it is important to learn the different
components of short-term, working memory and long-term
memory, it is important to understand that these memories work

together to assist us to function optimally. The above example
illustrates how working-memory and long-term memory work hand
in hand when studying, for example (CP, pp. 165-166).
QUESTION 3
Kayden is trying to remember the grocery list that he learned before
going to the supermarket. He realises that he only remembers the
groceries at the beginning of the list. This is an example of the
- - - - -.
a. primacy effect
b. recency effect
c. retroactive interference
d. phonological similarity effect
Option a is correct. Murdoch’s (1962) serial position curve
indicates that participants were more likely to remember words
presented at the beginning of a sequence i.e. the primacy effect.
This would explain why Kayden only remembers the groceries at
the beginning of the list and not the words at the end of the list (CP,
p. 167).
QUESTION 4
A class of students is asked to listen and remember a list of similar-
sounding words and another list of words that are dissimilar. The
class struggles to remember the list of words that are similar to each
other. This is an example of the - - - - -.
a. phonological similarity effect
b. proactive interference
c. recency effect

d. primacy effect
Option a is correct. The phonological similarity effect indicates
how auditory sounds can be encoded short-term and long-term
coding. Sounds that are similar are harder to remember than sounds
that are dissimilar (CP, p. 168).
QUESTION 5
- - - - - memory involves reconnecting with experiences from the
past whereas - - - - - memory is not tied to remembering personal
experiences from the past but in accessing things that are known or
familiar.
a. Semantic; echoic
b. Episodic; semantic
c. Echoic; episodic
d. Iconic; procedural
Option b is correct. A defining feature of episodic memory is
mental time travel or reconnecting to events that happened in the
past whereas semantic memory is about knowing, for example,
knowing facts about a phenomenon (CP, p. 174).
QUESTION 6
- - - - - involves acquiring information and transferring information
to long-term memory whereas - - - - - involves recalling information
stored in long-term memory.
a. Coding; retrieval
b. Coding; encoding
c. Re-coding; decoding
