Question 1

Essay questions,fill-in-the-blanks,and the recitation of poems all measure memory through
A) relearning.
B) recognition.
C) recall.
D) retroactive redintegration.

Accepted Answer

Essay questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and the recitation of poems all require individuals to recall information from memory. This means they must actively retrieve information from their memory without any external cues to prompt them. Recall is considered a more difficult measure of memory than recognition, which simply asks individuals to identify previously learned information from a list of options. Relearning (A) and retroactive redintegration (D) are not measures of memory but rather concepts related to memory consolidation and interference, respectively.

Question 2

The ability to predict beforehand whether one will be able to remember something is called
A) déjà vu.
B) episodic memory.
C) consolidation.
D) the feeling of knowing.

Accepted Answer

The ability to predict whether one will be able to remember something is called the feeling of knowing.

Question 3

Tests that require verbatim (word-for-word)answers are measuring memory through
A) relearning.
B) recognition.
C) recall.
D) redintegration.

Accepted Answer

Tests that require verbatim answers are measuring recall, which is the ability to retrieve information from memory without any cues or prompts. This is in contrast to recognition, which involves identifying information from a set of choices, and relearning, which involves learning information again after it has been forgotten or lost. Redintegration, on the other hand, refers to the process of combining small bits of information into larger, meaningful wholes.

Question 4

Three commonly used methods of measuring memory are
A) recall, recognition, and relearning.
B) redintegration, recognition, and constructive processing.
C) iconic, echoic, and tactile.
D) spaced practice, massed practice, and consolidation.

Accepted Answer

Recall, recognition, and relearning are commonly used methods of measuring memory because they assess different aspects of memory - recall assesses the ability to retrieve information without prompts, recognition assesses the ability to identify information among options, and relearning assesses the ability to learn information again after it has been forgotten or not used for a period of time. The other options listed are either not relevant to measuring memory (B and D) or refer to different types of sensory memory (C).

Question 5

Which of the following ways of measuring memory involves supplying or reproducing memorized information with a minimum of external cues?
A) relearning
B) recognition
C) recall
D) redintegration

Accepted Answer

Recall is the process of retrieving previously learned information without the help of external cues. This type of memory test requires the person to reproduce the information from memory without any assistance or hints. A good example of recall is when a student is asked to write an essay from memory without looking at their notes or textbook.

Question 6

Which of the following methods of measuring memory is being used when a student is required to recite poetry or the lines of a famous play verbatim?
A) recognition
B) relearning
C) recall
D) serial position

Accepted Answer

Recalling involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts. This is what the student is doing when they recite poetry or lines from a play verbatim. They are retrieving the information from memory without any external prompts or cues. Recognition, on the other hand, involves identifying information from a list of options, while relearning involves re-studying information that has already been learned. Serial position refers to the tendency for people to remember the first and last items in a list better than items in the middle.

Question 7

Recall,recognition,and relearning are three commonly used
A) methods of measuring memory.
B) mnemonic devices.
C) types of rehearsal.
D) states of forgetting.

Accepted Answer

Recall, recognition, and relearning are all methods of measuring memory. Recall refers to retrieving information without any specific cue or prompt, such as on essay or short answer tests. Recognition involves identifying information from a list of options or identifying previously encountered information, such as multiple choice tests. Relearning involves reacquiring information that has been previously learned and forgotten, which is often used to measure retention over time.

Question 8

Information is remembered,without explicit cues or stimuli,and often verbatim,when which of the following is used to measure memory?
A) recall
B) recognition
C) relearning
D) redintegration

Accepted Answer

Recall involves retrieving information without any cues or stimuli, and it can often be remembered verbatim. Recognition and relearning both involve some form of cues or stimuli to aid in the retrieval of information, while redintegration is not a commonly used term in memory research.

Question 9

Déjà vu,the experience that you have previously experienced a new situation,is an example of
A) semantic memory.
B) eidetic imagery.
C) lucid dreaming.
D) partial memory.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Déjà vu,the experience that you have previously...

Question 10

The illusion that you have already experienced a new situation that you are actually seeing for the first time is called
A) redintegration.
B) eidetic imagery.
C) a flashbulb memory.
D) déjà vu.

Accepted Answer

Déjà vu is the illusion of having already experienced a new situation that is being encountered for the first time. Redintegration is the process of using cues from the environment to reconstruct a memory. Eidetic imagery refers to the ability to remember visual information with great detail and accuracy. A flashbulb memory is a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard. Therefore, none of the other options match the definition given in the question.

Question 11

Rogelio recognizes a theme song from a popular television show,but he is unable to remember the name of the show.He is experiencing
A) memory decay.
B) memory displacement.
C) the tip-of-the-tongue state.
D) encoding failure.

Accepted Answer

The tip-of-the-tongue state is a phenomenon where one recognizes information but is unable to retrieve it from memory. In this scenario, Rogelio recognizes the theme song but is unable to remember the name of the television show, which is indicative of the tip-of-the-tongue state. Memory decay refers to the gradual fading of memories over time, while memory displacement refers to the pushing out of older memories by newer ones. Encoding failure occurs when new information fails to be stored properly in memory. None of these match the scenario described.

Question 12

You are watching a popular TV game show; and one of the contestants is about to solve the puzzle.You can tell by the look on his face and by the tone of his voice that he will give the right answer.You were observing the contestant's
A) tip-of-tongue state.
B) feeling of knowing.
C) elaborative processing.
D) redintegration.

Accepted Answer

The feeling of knowing refers to the belief or sensation a person has that they know the answer to a question, even if they cannot initially recall it. In this scenario, the contestant's facial expression and tone of voice suggest that they have this feeling of knowing, indicating that they will give the correct answer.

Question 13

Your first psychology quiz consists of 20 fill-in-the-blank questions on the history of psychology.This test is measuring memory by
A) recall.
B) recognition.
C) relearning.
D) redintegration.

Accepted Answer

The test is measuring memory through recall, which requires the individual to retrieve information from memory without any prompts or cues.

Question 14

Déjà vu experiences feel familiar but yet strange because
A) redintegration has occurred and obscured most of the memory.
B) elaborative processing obscured the original memory.
C) repression is only partially able to block the memory from your awareness.
D) a past memory was retrieved but was too weak to yield adequate details.

Accepted Answer

Déjà vu experiences are thought to occur when a past memory is retrieved, but the memory is too weak to provide detailed recollection, leading to the sensation of familiarity without specific recall.

Question 15

A history exam that requires students to "Discuss economic factors that contributed to World War I" is measuring
A) recognition.
B) recall.
C) relearning.
D) serial position.

Accepted Answer

The exam question is asking the students to remember and state specific information about the economic factors that led to World War I. This falls under the category of recall, as it requires the retrieval of previously learned information from memory.

Question 16

You and your husband go to the movies.About 20 minutes into the movie,he asks you who that actress is that just came on the screen and if she is on some television show you watch.You know that you know her name but you just cannot recall it.This illustrates
A) the savings score.
B) suppression state.
C) encoding failure.
D) the tip-of-the tongue state.

Accepted Answer

This is an example of the tip-of-the-tongue state, where you know the information is stored in your memory, but you cannot retrieve it at that moment.

Question 17

When a new experience triggers the retrieval of a past experience without yielding any of the details,this new experience seems familiar even though the older memory is too weak to rise to the level of awareness.This experience is known as
A) déjà vu.
B) eidetic imagery.
C) lucid dreaming.
D) a sane hallucination.

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of déjà vu, which is the feeling of having experienced a new situation before without being able to consciously retrieve the details of the previous experience.

Question 18

You are playing a trivia game on the computer when the category of "American Presidents" comes up.Having just taken an exam on this subject,you smile as you read the first question and the correct answer immediately "pops" in your head even before the four answers appear from which you will choose.You are experiencing
A) memory consolidation.
B) the feeling of knowing.
C) elaborative processing.
D) déjà vu.

Accepted Answer

The "feeling of knowing" refers to the sense that one knows the answer to a question without being able to immediately recall it. In this case, the answer "pops" into the person's head before they see the answer choices, indicating that they have a strong feeling of knowing the correct answer.

Question 19

Which of the following is NOT a commonly used method of measuring memory?
A) recall
B) redintegration
C) recognition
D) relearning

Accepted Answer

Recall, recognition, and relearning are all commonly used methods of measuring memory. However, redintegration refers to the process of combining fragments of memory to form a complete memory, rather than a method of measuring memory itself.

Question 20

Essay questions tend to be more difficult than multiple choice because with an essay question,
A) there are more cues to stimulate memory.
B) recall is required rather than recognition.
C) there is more proactive inhibition.
D) there is often retroactive encoding failure.

Accepted Answer

Essay questions require the student to recall information and apply it, while multiple choice questions provide cues that can jog a student's memory. Therefore, essay questions require more effort and can be more difficult. The other answer choices are not relevant to the difficulty level of essay questions.
