COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY EXAM 2
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
The two divisions of Long Term Memory - CORRECT-ANSWERSimplicit and
explicit
OR
non-declarative and declarative memories
Part of the brain where binding of related pieces of information for long-term
memory takes place - CORRECT-ANSWERShippocampus
Reduced response after repeated exposure to a stimulus - CORRECT-
ANSWERSHabituation
e idea that you should take the test in the same room that you learned the material,
so that you may recall better. - CORRECT-ANSWERSContext-dependent effect
Processing at encoding is most effective to the extent that processing overlaps with
the processing to be performed at retrieval - CORRECT-ANSWERSTransfer-
Appropriate Learning
,What is chunking? - CORRECT-ANSWERSYou have to remember of new phone
number. Instead of remembering each of the seven digits individually (5-5-5-1-2-1-
2), you remember two numbers (555-1212).
What is Episodic Buffer? - CORRECT-ANSWERSA supplementary information
store when the visuospatial sketchpad and the phonological loop are overloaded or
disrupted
What is the Phonological Similarity Effect? - CORRECT-ANSWERSthe effect that
occurs when similar sound-based codes are activated in the phonologocial loop
What is the "What"/Ventral stream? - CORRECT-ANSWERSthe stream accessed by
object working memory.
What is the Prefrontal Cortex? - CORRECT-ANSWERSArea of the brain implicated
for the executive functions of working memory
An individual is brought to you who has deficits in self-monitoring, attention-
switching, and sequencing behaviors to achieve a goal. You suspect that he has
damage in this area of the brain. - CORRECT-ANSWERSWhat is the Frontal Lobe?
, What is Monitoring? - CORRECT-ANSWERSthe executive process you are engaging
in when thinking about how well you are doing in answering the questions right
now
What is a Go/No go task? - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe task used to study inhibition
of a response
What is a script? - CORRECT-ANSWERSexamples: starting a car, washing clothes,
baking a cake...
What is the Parietal cortex? - CORRECT-ANSWERSIn addition to the prefrontal
cortex, imaging studies have shown that the this cortex is involved with switching
of attention
One of the main areas of the brain involved with emotional processing is... -
CORRECT-ANSWERSthe Amygdala?
What is Autonomic Conditioning? - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe specific type of
conditioning associated with taste aversions. E.g. You became sick one night after
eating sushi. Now, you will not eat sushi.
