PSYCH 355 QUIZ 2 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Depth of Learning Shallow: orthographic (writing)
Mid: phonological (language sounds)
Deep: semantic (belong in sentence, meaning)
Entering Long-Term Storage 1. Maintenance rehearsal
2. Relational or elaborative rehearsal
Elaborative Encoding - Depth of processing promotes connections/retrieval paths between to be
remembered material and existing knowledge/schemas
- Narrative are helpful, make it outlandish
Mnemonic Devices Music and rhyme
Peg-Word System
Interactive Imagery
Reminiscence Bump Enhanced memory for events from adolescence to young adulthood 10-30 yrs
Proactive Interference Old information interferes with recall of new information. the interference is
which kind of information is lost
Retroactive Interference New information piles up and interferes with recall of old info
Emotion Neuroscience Activation Amygdala activation impacts hippocampal, basal ganglia activation
Flashbulb Memories - Emotional memories, like Memory of reception of media coverage
- Susceptible to distortion, less accurate
- Greater media coverage: repetition
- Question/convo: repeated rehearsal and distortion from co-witness
contamination
Verbal Encoding of Visual Memories Linguistic or propositional influences
Verbal Overshadowing - Ppl worse at remembering faces if they have talked about them
- Anytime our perceptual expertise is greater than ability to verbalize sth,
verbal encoding can hurt memory. Two encodings exist: original perceptual
memory and memory of verbal encoding
Creating False Memories Trust, plausible, rich detail, invite elaboration, provide artifacts (vids)
Subthreshold Activation/Priming - Unconscious Processing. More links (associations) signaling to a node (idea)
make it more likely to hit threshold
- Lexical decision task: decide if string of characters is a word. faster to respond
if word is related to prior word
Memory Retrieval: Recognition vs Recall - Recall: knowledge w details. node is fully activated and has context and
source of information
- Recognition: sense of familiarity. node is not fully activated and no context or
source of info
