Question 2

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 question is asking for students to recall information about economic factors related to World War I.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Redintegration is not a commonly used method of measuring memory. It is a relatively obscure concept that refers to the process of mentally reconstructing a whole image from its separate parts. Recall, recognition, and relearning, on the other hand, are all widely recognized and commonly used methods of measuring memory in various contexts.

Question 4

On a trivia computer game, you are asked to name the seven dwarfs from the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with no hints or clues.Your memory is being tested through
A) serial position.
B) relearning.
C) recall.
D) recognition.

Accepted Answer

Recall involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts. In this scenario, the task of naming the seven dwarfs without any hints or prompts requires the use of recall, as opposed to recognition (identifying the correct answer among a list of options).

Question 5

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

Reciting poetry or lines from a play verbatim requires recall, as it involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts.

Question 6

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

The experience described is known as déjà vu, which is the feeling that what is currently being experienced has already been experienced in the past. Although the older memory is too weak to be consciously recalled, it is enough to create a sense of familiarity in the present moment.

Question 7

Memories may be revealed through recall, recognition, relearning, and
A) the tip-of-the-tongue state.
B) the serial position effect.
C) priming.
D) déjà vu.

Accepted Answer

Priming can reveal memories by indirectly activating them through exposure to cues or stimuli that are associated with the stored information. This can lead to faster and more accurate recall or recognition of the memories. The other options listed do not directly relate to the process of revealing memories.

Question 8

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 individual to recall information from memory, rather than simply recognizing it among a list of options like multiple choice questions do. This makes essay questions more difficult as the individual must actively retrieve information from their memory, rather than simply recognizing it when presented to them.

Question 9

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 experience described is known as the feeling of knowing, which is the subjective experience of being able to recognize information without necessarily being able to explicitly recall it. This suggests that the information has been encoded and stored in memory, but may not be easily accessible without some cue or prompting. The other options - memory consolidation, elaborative processing, and déjà vu - do not accurately describe this phenomenon.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

Verbatim (word-for-word) answers require recall, which is the process of retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts. This is different from recognition, which involves identifying information that is presented as familiar, and relearning, which involves studying information anew to aid in retrieval. Redintegration, on the other hand, refers to the process of using context or partial cues to reconstruct a memory, which is not applicable to verbatim answers.

Question 11

When your little niece asked you to name Santa's reindeer with no hints or clues, your memory was being measured by
A) serial position.
B) relearning.
C) recall.
D) recognition.

Accepted Answer

Recall is the act of retrieving information from memory without any hints or clues. In this scenario, the task of naming Santa's reindeer without any prompts is a recall task. The other options, such as serial position and relearning, deal with the process of learning and remembering information in different ways, while recognition involves recognizing previously learned information with the help of hints or cues.

Question 12

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 all widely used methods of measuring memory. Recall refers to the ability to retrieve information without any cues or prompts. Recognition is the ability to identify previously encountered information from a list or set of options. Relearning refers to the amount of time it takes to learn something again after a period of forgetting, which is strongly influenced by the strength of the original memory trace. These methods allow researchers to assess different aspects of memory performance and evaluate the effectiveness of various memory strategies.

Question 13

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 three commonly used methods of measuring memory. Recall involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts, recognition involves identifying previously learned information with the help of cues or prompts, and relearning involves learning previously learned information again faster than the initial learning process.

Question 14

Information is remembered with only a minimum of external cues and often verbatim, when which of the following is used to measure memory?
A) recall
B) recognition
C) relearning
D) redintegration

Accepted Answer

Recall requires the retrieval of information from memory with little or no external cues, meaning that the information must be remembered verbatim or with a minimum of cues. Recognition, on the other hand, provides more external cues as the individual is presented with options to choose from, and relearning involves previously learned information being learned again with fewer trials. Redintegration is not a valid option as it refers to the process of using previous knowledge to understand and fill in missing pieces of information in a current situation.

Question 15

You witness a crime, and the police ask you to describe in detail what you saw.The memory test being utilized in this instance is
A) recognition.
B) relearning.
C) recall.
D) eidetic.

Accepted Answer

Recall involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts. In this scenario, the police are asking the witness to provide a detailed description, which requires them to recall what they saw without any external cues. Recognition, on the other hand, involves identifying information as familiar or previously encountered when presented with cues or prompts. Relearning involves learning information again that has been previously learned, and eidetic memory involves the ability to vividly visualize and recall visually presented information.

Question 16

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 17

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 the individual to recall information from memory. Recall involves retrieving information from memory without any cues or prompts, which can be a more difficult task than simply recognizing information or relearning it. Retroactive redintegration is not a method of measuring memory, but rather a phenomenon in which new experiences integrate with old memories to create new memories.

Question 18

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 experienced a new situation that is actually being encountered for the first time.

Question 19

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 retrieval of information from memory without cues or hints.

Question 20

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 involves retrieving information from memory with minimal external cues, often requiring the individual to produce the information from memory without any prompt or assistance. Relearning involves reacquiring information that was previously learned, recognition involves identifying previously learned information among a list of unfamiliar options, and redintegration is not a recognized way of measuring memory.
