Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory memory is the memory system that momentarily preserves extremely accurate images of sensory information.

Answer: C
 Short-term memory refers to the memory system that holds information in consciousness for brief periods of time, typically around 20-30 seconds.

Answer: D
 Working memory is similar to short-term memory in that it holds information temporarily, but it is also involved in the manipulation, organization, and use of that information in real-time cognition.

Answer: E
 Consolidation refers to the process by which memories are stabilized and strengthened over time, often through the process of sleep.

Answer: G
 Procedural memory refers to the memory system that stores information about how to perform various motor and cognitive skills or procedures, like riding a bike or typing on a keyboard.

Answer: H
 Episodic memory refers to the memory system that stores personally-experienced events or episodes, typically with a spatial and temporal context.

Answer: I
 Semantic memory refers to the memory system that stores general knowledge about the world, including facts, concepts, and vocabulary.

Answer: B
 Elaborative rehearsal refers to the process of actively processing information to make meaningful connections and associations with other knowledge in memory.

Answer: A
 Maintenance rehearsal refers to the process of simply repeating information over and over again, without actively engaging with it, in order to keep it in short-term memory.

Answer: J
 Deep processing refers to the process of actively engaging with information by processing it at a deeper, more meaningful level, such as by making connections with other knowledge or by actively generating associations and elaborations.
