I just emailed you these questions in an attachment. It may be easier to view them in that document than it is here.
Thoroughly answer these questions for Tuesday. We will be reviewing the answers in class.
Our next review session is on Monday. See you then!
During Reading Questions
pp.233-266
How do we form memories?
Models of Memory
1. Explain the connection between learning and memory.
2. What are the three basic components of the information-processing model of memory?
3. Describe chunking, rehearsal, acoustic encoding, and visual and spatial encoding. How do each of these things improve working memory?
4. What is the levels-of-processing theory? (Hint: Although the book includes this description within the information-processing model of memory, we should think of the levels-of-processing theory as a separate model of memory.)
5. How does the levels-of-processing theory connect to schema (schemata)? (You have to think about this one—there isn’t an answer in the book!)
6. Describe the three types of long-term memory.
7. Which brain parts are associated with memory? How do we know?
8. Compare and contrast anterograde and retrograde amnesia. Can you make any connections to the meaning based on the word parts (e.g., antero and retro)?
9. Why do we remember things more clearly when we are emotionally connected to the content?
10. What is the connection between neural firings and long-term memories?
How do we retrieve memories?
1. What is the difference between implicit and explicit memory?
2. Describe priming.
3. What is elaborative rehearsal? Provide a real life example.
4. Give an example of recall and one of recognition.
5. Describe how encoding affects retrieval of memories.
Why does memory sometimes fail us?
1. Explain what can go wrong with encoding memories, and how this can cause us to “forget.”
2. Explain what can go wrong with retrieving memories, and how this can cause us to forget.
