Psychology Frontiers And Applications Study Set 5

Expert chess players possess schemas that allow them to recall more randomly placed chess pieces than novices do.

The neural network approach to memory assumes that nodes in a network are physical in nature and do not contain individual units of information.

George Sperling attempted to assess the duration of echoic memory by briefly presenting an image of a 3  4 array of letters.

Anterograde amnesia is said to occur when memory is lost for events that occurred prior to the occurrence of amnesia.

Schemas can help us to organize and interpret information in a particular way.

A recall test is generally considered to be easier than a recognition test.

Episodic and semantic memory are two subcategories of procedural memory.

The iconic store and the echoic store are subsystems of short-term memory.

According to Alan Baddeley, the central executive is a control process that is part of long-term memory.

When information to be memorized is organized into a hierarchy, this capitalizes on the fact that memory is enhanced by associations between concepts.

Maintenance rehearsal is more effective than elaborative rehearsal for transferring information to long-term memory storage.

Retroactive interference occurs when newly acquired information interferes with our ability to recall information that was learned at an earlier time.

"Priming" refers to the activation of one concept by another and is associated with the concept of "spreading activation".

The recency effect appears to be due to the early transfer of information into long-term memory.

Elaborative rehearsal is more effective than maintenance rehearsal for transferring information into long-term memory.

Research has revealed that flashbulb memories are not as accurate as people usually think they are.

The results of Hermann Ebbinghaus's research on forgetting revealed that forgetting tended to occur rapidly at first and then slowed down noticeably thereafter.

Semantic encoding is considered to involve "deeper" processing than phonological encoding does.

The phenomenon of state-dependent memory can be understood by applying the principle of encoding specificity to external stimuli and cues.

Another name for short-term memory is working memory.
