Psych 230 - Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT Answers
Phonological loop, the central executive, and part of Baddeley's working memory model (short term)
visuospatial pad are
Research suggests that flashbulb memories have _______ similar
accuracy than everyday memories
Your mother tells you about an article she read on Source monitoring error
Facebook about a theory on how Covid-19 was a
created at UNC. Later, you watch CNN and then talk to
a friend mentioning you saw the theory on CNN. What
is this an example of?
Sally goes with her friend to the store. She remembers Method of loci
that she has to get juice and bread because she
pictures a large cup of juice waiting for her at her door
when she arrives back home, and a loaf of bread sitting
on the table just inside the door.
Method of loci A mnemonic technique that involves associating items on a list with a sequence
of familiar physical locations (ex: memory palace)
When your internal mood matches at encoding and State Dependent Learning
retrieval, you tend to do better at retrieving what you
learn. What is this called?
Transfer appropriate processing matching the type task involved in encoding and retrieval (ex: rhyming and
rhyming)
Encoding Specificity Matching the space, external environment
State-dependent learning Matching the internal environment, mood
, For transfer appropriate processing, state-dependent you are matching some kind of encoding and retrieval
learning, and encoding specificity
Serial position curve graph depicting both primacy and recency effects on people's ability to recall
items on a list
What is the evidence that short term memory is reason If you give participants the list and they aren't able to practice recall (counting
for the recency effect? backwards by 30 seconds) then the recency effect goes away.
What is the evidence that long term memory is reason When people think out loud, they would rehearse the words as they went and
for the primary effect? they found that the # of times they rehearsed each word lined up well with how
well they remembered each word.
What are the 3 broadest types of memory? Long term, short term/working memory, sensory
What are the two broad types of long term memory? Implicit and explicit memory
What are the two types of explicit memory? episodic and semantic
What are the 5 types of implicit memory? Classical conditioning, priming, habituation, procedural, and sensitization
Classical conditioning a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a
response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by
the first stimulus alone.
Working memory vs short term memory STM- mainly storing information. WM manipulation of information
STM- consists of single component. WM number of
components.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) a stimulus that elicits a response only after learning has taken place
unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally—naturally and
automatically—triggers a unconditioned response.
Conditioned response a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus
How long does iconic memory last? About 1/2 second
How long does echoic memory last? 9-12 seconds
How long does short term memory last? 15-30 seconds
How is STM usually coded? Auditorily
How is long term memory usually coded? Semantically
Implicit memory requires conscious awareness of False
previous experiences.
