D094 Educational Psychology
Atkinson and Shiffrin claimed that the length of time that information is held in
short-term memory has little influence on the chance that this information will
make it into long-term memory.
1) True
2) False
2) False
Atkinson and Shiffrin claimed that the longer information is retained in short-term
memory through the use of rehearsal, the greater its chance is of getting into long-
term memory.
The information-processing approach emphasizes that children manipulate
information, monitor it, and strategize about it.
1) True
2) False
1) True
The information-processing approach emphasizes that children manipulate
information, monitor it, and strategize about it. Central to this approach are cognitive
processes such as attention, memory, and thinking.
Which of the following best defines sensory memory?
1)It stores only a small amount of the information sensed, but chooses
information in a random fashion.
2)It stores information from the world in its original sensory form for only an
instant.
3)It selects only a few important pieces of information to store.
4)It stores information primarily in terms of its underlying meaning.

2)It stores information from the world in its original sensory form for only an instant.
Sensory memory holds information from the world in its original sensory form for only
an instant, not much longer than the brief time a student is exposed to the visual,
auditory, and other sensations.
Which of the following scenarios best depicts elaboration?
1)Juan memorized a list of spelling words for an upcoming test.
2)When his class studied primates, John recalled the monkeys he saw at a zoo
earlier that year.
3)Kate and Sue brainstormed ideas for a project they were planning for a
class.
4)Taylor practiced writing letters of the English language during his English
class.
2)When his class studied primates, John recalled the monkeys he saw at a zoo
earlier that year.
By adding his own personal experience, John elaborated on the information
presented during class. Elaboration is the extensiveness of information processing
involved in encoding. If one is trying to get students to remember the concept of
fairness, the more they can generate personal examples of inequities and equities
they have personally experienced, the more likely they are to remember the concept.
Which of the following scenarios presents the best example of encoding?
1)Isaac is writing a letter.
2)Jose is practicing the alphabet.
3)Julie is listening to music.
4)Sarah remembers her first day of school.
3)Julie is listening to music.
An example of encoding is when Julie is listening to music. Encoding is the process
by which information gets stored in memory.
Short-term or "working" memory is retained for approximately how long?
1)About 10 seconds
2)About 20 minutes
3)Up to 30 seconds
4)A fraction of a second
3)Up to 30 seconds
Short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, unless the information is rehearsed or
further processed.
Chunking is a beneficial strategy for improving memory that involves which of
the following?
1)Using symbols to represent verbal information
2)Grouping information into higher-order units
3)Relating new information to personal experience
4)Processing information and providing examples
, Page 3 of 37
2)Grouping information into higher-order units
Chunking is a beneficial organizational memory strategy that involves grouping, or
"packing," information into "higher-order" units that can be remembered as single
units. Chunking works by making large amounts of information more manageable
and more meaningful.
Sensory memory lasts approximately how long?
1)Up to several seconds
2)A lifetime
3)About 20 minutes
4)Up to 60 seconds
1)Up to several seconds
Sensory memory lasts from a fraction of a second to several seconds.
Generally speaking, how does elaboration help students learn new
information?
1)By helping them organize it hierarchically in memory
2)By having them connect new information with information they already know
3)By having them add their own relevant information
4)By having them learn it faster
3)By having them add their own relevant information
Self-reference is an effective way of elaboration. Elaboration is the extensiveness of
information-processing involved in memory. If one is trying to get students to
remember the concept of fairness, the more they can generate personal examples of
inequities and equities they have personally experienced, the more likely they are to
remember the concept.
Which researcher proposed the working memory model, which views working
memory as a workbench?
1)Jean Piaget
2)Alan Baddeley
3)George Miller
4)Lev Vygotsky
2)Alan Baddeley
British psychologist Alan Baddeley (2000, 2007, 2012, 2013) proposed that working
memory is a three-part system that temporarily holds information as people perform
tasks. Working memory is a kind of mental "workbench" where information is
manipulated and assembled to help us make decisions, solve problems, and
comprehend written and spoken language.
Consider the following list of words that is read aloud to student volunteers:
cat, dog, hat, goat, boat, boy, girl, plane, sun, moon. According to the serial
position effect, a student displaying primacy will most likely remember which
of the following words from this list?
1)Moon
2)Girl
, Page 4 of 37
3)Cat
4)Goat
3)Cat
In this case, the student will remember the word "Cat" easily. A person displaying
primacy will tend to remember things that occur at the beginning of the list.
What is a schema?
1)Information that already exists in a person's mind
2)The process by which information is moved from short-term to long-term
memory
3)The manner in which information is organized and connected within a
person's memory
4)Information that cannot be retrieved from a person's memory
1)Information that already exists in a person's mind
A schema is information—concepts, knowledge, information about events—that
already exists in a person's mind. Schema theories state that when we reconstruct
information, we fit it into information that already exists in our mind.
Sylvia studies different chapters of her history textbook from Monday to
Friday. Next week, Sylvia is easily able to remember the chapter she studied
on Friday when compared to the chapter she studied on Monday. This is an
example of:
1)the recency effect.
2)verbatim trace.
3)gist trace.
4)the primacy effect.
1)the recency effect.
This is an example of the recency effect. The recency effect is that items at the end
of the list tend to be remembered. In the serial position effect, recall is better for
items at the beginning and end of a list than for items in the middle. Suppose that
when a teacher gives a student directions about where to go to get tutoring help, the
teacher says, "Left on Mockingbird, right on Central, left on Balboa, left on
Sandstone, and right on Parkside." The student likely will remember "Left on
Mockingbird" and "Right on Parkside" better than "Left on Balboa."
According to the decay theory, which of the following is the cause of
forgetting?
1)Lack of schema
2)Interference by new information
3)Passage of time
4)Lack of initial encoding
3)Passage of time
With the passage of time, neurochemical memory traces can disintegrate, causing
one to forget. Memories decay at different speeds. Some memories are vivid and
last for long periods of time, especially when they have emotional ties.
