Question 1

Lana was the witness to a robbery.In order to help her remember details of the crime, she is asked to remember the crime in a different order and from different viewpoints.Lana is undergoing

Accepted Answer

Lana is undergoing a cognitive interview, which involves a set of techniques designed to improve the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. These techniques include asking the witness to recall events in a different order and from different perspectives in order to provide more complete and accurate information. Retroactive priming and retroactive consolidation are related to memory processes but do not specifically apply to the techniques used in a cognitive interview. The progressive part method is a learning strategy typically used for motor skills, which is not relevant to eyewitness testimony.

Question 2

If Erica uses elaborative processing to study the concept of reinforcement,

Accepted Answer

Elaborative processing involves making connections between new information and existing knowledge, which leads to a more complex and detailed memory network. Therefore, if Erica uses elaborative processing to study the concept of reinforcement, her memory network for this concept will be complex and detailed. This will make it easier for her to retrieve the definition of reinforcement and understand this concept thoroughly.

Question 3

Regarding the use of hypnosis, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

Accepted Answer

This statement is true, as research has shown that suggestibility can increase during hypnosis and can lead to the integration of misleading or suggestive information into one's memories. The other statements, however, are not entirely accurate. While hypnosis may temporarily enhance memory, it is not a foolproof technique and false memories can still be formed (A). Additionally, confidence is not necessarily an indicator of truthfulness, as hypnotized individuals may believe false information that they have been given (B).

Question 4

Which of the following techniques uses various cues and strategies to improve the memory of eyewitnesses and produces 35 percent more correct information than standard questioning with this improvement occurring without the addition of false memories?

Accepted Answer

The cognitive interview is a technique that uses various cues and strategies, such as open-ended questions, asking the witness to recount the event from different perspectives and using mental reinstatement to recreate the context of the crime scene, to improve the memory of eyewitnesses. Research shows that cognitive interviewing produces 35 percent more correct information than standard questioning without the addition of false memories. Retroactive priming procedure, progressive part method, and forensic hypnosis procedure are not techniques used specifically for improving eyewitness memory.

Question 5

A student will tend to have more retrieval cues to help with redintegration on a test if he or she uses which of the following when studying?

Accepted Answer

Elaborative processing involves making meaningful connections between new information and existing knowledge, which creates more retrieval cues for later recall. Maintenance rehearsal and rote learning may help with short-term memory retention, but they do not create as many retrieval cues. Eidetic imagery (photographic memory) is rare and not a reliable study technique for most students.

Question 6

Jerry uses rote learning to study the concept of reinforcement, while Erica uses elaborative processing.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

Elaborative processing involves making connections between new information and existing knowledge, which enhances understanding and retention. Therefore, Erica's approach will result in a better understanding of the concept of reinforcement and a greater ability to retrieve the information she needs. Rote learning, on the other hand, simply involves memorizing information without necessarily understanding it in depth. Therefore, Jerry may be able to retrieve the information directly, but may not have a deep understanding of the concept.

Question 7

The worst that happens when hypnosis is used as an aid to memory in solving a crime is that

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that hypnosis can lead to the creation of false memories or distorted memories, leading to inaccurate testimony. Therefore, the worst that can happen when hypnosis is used as an aid to memory in solving a crime is that additional memories are produced that are largely false.

Question 8

Regarding the cognitive interview, which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

The statement that the cognitive interview creates more false memories than hypnosis is false. Research has shown that the cognitive interview does not increase the susceptibility of an individual to creating false memories.

Question 9

Regarding the use of hypnosis, which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Research has shown that hypnotized persons can incorporate additional misleading or suggestive information into their memories while under hypnosis.

Question 10

Strategies used in a cognitive interview that help recreate the context in which the information was learned include

Accepted Answer

Revisiting the scene in one's imagination or in person is a strategy used in a cognitive interview to help recreate the context in which the information was learned. Skilled use of mnemonics, working on sensory and attentional processes, and using dream analysis are not specifically mentioned as strategies for recreating context in cognitive interviews.

Question 11

After Barbara was raped, the forensic psychologist took Barbara back to the dorm room in which the crime took place, hoping that aspects of the crime scene, such as sounds, smells, and objects, would provide helpful retrieval cues.The forensic psychologist then had Barbara recall the events in a different order and from different vantage points in the room.Every new memory, no matter how trivial was noted, since it might serve as a cue to trigger the retrieval of even more memories.Barbara is undergoing

Accepted Answer

Barbara is undergoing a cognitive interview, which involves using specific techniques to enhance the retrieval of memories, such as recalling events in a different order or from a different perspective, and noting even trivial details that may serve as retrieval cues. The other options are unrelated to this process.

Question 12

The cognitive interview technique is most likely to be useful in which of the following situations?

Accepted Answer

The cognitive interview technique is designed to enhance the retrieval of information from witnesses and victims of crimes, making it most applicable in legal situations such as preparing a defense in an automobile accident case.

Question 13

If Erica uses elaborative processing to study the concept of reinforcement,

Accepted Answer

Elaborative processing involves relating new information to existing knowledge in order to better encode it in memory. Therefore, for Erica to use elaborative processing to study the concept of reinforcement, she would need to have some understanding of the concept in order to make connections to her existing knowledge. This would result in a stronger memory network for the concept, rather than a sparse and weak one. Additionally, elaborative processing does not typically lead to confusion or difficulty retrieving information, so option C and D can be eliminated.

Question 14

...

Question 15

If Jerry spent a great deal of time studying the concept of reinforcement through rote rehearsal,

Accepted Answer

Rote rehearsal involves simple repetition, which often leads to a sparse and weak memory network because it lacks deeper processing and understanding.

Question 16

While studying the concept of reinforcement, Erica asked herself how reinforcement and punishment differ and what kinds of reinforcement (and punishment)there are; she tried to think of personal examples of the use of reinforcement.Erica is using

Accepted Answer

Erica is using elaborative processing, which involves actively thinking about and making connections to the material being learned, rather than simply repeating or memorizing it (rote learning) or practicing it repeatedly without reflection (maintenance rehearsal). Chunking or recoding may involve organizing information into smaller, more manageable units, but this is not evident in the scenario described.

Question 17

The cognitive interview technique includes all of the following EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

The cognitive interview technique includes mentally positioning yourself in different places during the event, revisiting the scene in one's imagination or in person, and recalling the event in a different chronological order. However, the use of hypnosis is not a part of the cognitive interview technique.

Question 18

The technique that uses the process of redintegration to improve the memory of eyewitnesses is called

Accepted Answer

The cognitive interview is a technique used to improve the accuracy of eyewitnesses' memories. One of the methods used in cognitive interviewing is the process of redintegration, which involves asking the witness to mentally recreate the context surrounding the event to improve their recall. This helps the witness to fill in any gaps in their memory and provide a more accurate account of what happened.

Question 19

The cognitive interview utilizes which of the following?​

Accepted Answer

The cognitive interview utilizes redintegration, which involves reconstructing the event in as much detail as possible.

Question 20

To help police detectives, Geiselman and Fisher created a technique for jogging the memory of eyewitnesses called the

Accepted Answer

Geiselman and Fisher created the cognitive interview, which is a technique for jogging the memory of eyewitnesses.
