Question 1

Tami's father used to roller skate as a child but has not skated for many years.When he goes skating with Tami he will most likely remember how to skate due to his ________ memory.

Accepted Answer

Procedural memory is the type of long-term memory responsible for knowing how to do things or skills, such as riding a bike, typing on a keyboard, or skating. Tami's father may be able to remember how to skate due to his procedural memory, even if he doesn't remember specific events or facts about his previous experiences skating (episodic or semantic memory). Explicit memory, on the other hand, refers to memories that can be consciously recalled and articulated, which may not be necessary for skating.

Question 2

Ted has brain damage after an accident.Although he can clearly remember everything from before the accident,he forgets what people are saying to him within a few minutes.Ted is most likely experiencing

Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories or retain new information after a brain injury, while retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember events or information that occurred before the brain injury. Retroactive interference and proactive interference are types of memory interference, but they do not involve memory loss due to brain damage. Therefore, given that Ted can remember everything from before the accident but cannot retain new information, the best choice is anterograde amnesia.

Question 3

Research has shown that the consolidation of memories

Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that a good night's sleep aids in the consolidation of memories. This is due to the fact that during sleep, the brain processes and organizes information attained during the day, leading to stronger and more durable memories.

Question 4

Dion keeps having nightmares and flashbacks about his time in the military.His chronic anxiety is most likely due to which disorder?

Accepted Answer

Dion's symptoms of chronic anxiety, nightmares, and flashbacks are indicative of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which commonly affects individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as combat. ADHD, ADD, and OCD are not typically associated with these symptoms.

Question 5

The increased ability to retrieve memories that occurs when the internal states during encoding and the internal states during recall match is called

Accepted Answer

State-dependent memory is the increased ability to retrieve memories when the internal states during encoding and the internal states during recall match. Context-dependent memory refers to the improved recall of specific information when the context present at encoding and retrieval are the same. Proactive interference refers to the phenomenon in which previously learned information interferes with the recall of new information while retroactive interference refers to the phenomenon in which newly learned information interferes with the recall of old information.

Question 6

Sleep disturbances interfere with the ________ of memories.

Accepted Answer

Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or sleep deprivation, can negatively impact the consolidation of memories. Consolidation is the process by which memories are stabilized and strengthened in the brain, and it occurs primarily during deep stages of sleep. Without adequate sleep, the consolidation process may be disrupted, leading to memory impairments. Misattribution refers to the phenomenon of attributing a memory to the wrong source, while suggestibility refers to the tendency to incorporate misleading information into a memory. Persistence refers to the inability to forget unwanted memories.

Question 7

Explicit memories are stored in the part of the brain called the

Accepted Answer

Explicit memories, also known as declarative memories, are stored in the temporal lobe of the brain. This includes memories of facts, knowledge, and experiences that can be consciously recalled and articulated. The cerebellum is responsible for motor coordination and learning, while the amygdala is involved in emotional processing and memory formation. The prefrontal cortex plays a role in executive functioning, decision making, and working memory, but is not specifically associated with the storage of explicit memories.

Question 8

Ashley studies for her upcoming psychology exam while sitting on her sunny front porch.When she takes the exam in a dimly lit lecture hall,she does poorly on the exam.Which of the following could have influenced her ability to recall the necessary exam information?

Accepted Answer

Context-dependent memory refers to the phenomenon of being able to better recall information when in the same context or environment in which the information was learned. In this case, Ashley was studying on her sunny front porch and then took the exam in a dimly lit lecture hall, which is a different context. This change in context may have made it more difficult for Ashley to recall the necessary exam information, resulting in poor performance. State-dependent memory refers to the phenomenon of being able to better recall information when in the same physiological or emotional state as when the information was learned, which is not applicable in this scenario. Anterograde and retrograde amnesia refer to types of memory loss, which are not applicable in this scenario either.

Question 9

Becca is trying to teach her 3-year-old son Cole how to ride a bicycle.Although she knows how to ride a bike,Becca is having a hard time verbalizing the steps to her son.Becca is struggling with trying to explain her ________ memory of riding a bike.

Accepted Answer

Procedural memory involves the memory of how to perform certain procedures or actions, such as riding a bike. This type of memory is not easily verbalized or explained, which is why Becca is having a hard time teaching her son. Episodic memory involves recalling specific events or experiences, semantic memory involves general knowledge and facts, and short-term memory involves the temporary storage of information.

Question 10

Question 11

Whenever Mandy gets angry with her boyfriend,she easily remembers all of the other times she has been angry with him in the past.Mandy's ability to retrieve this information is most likely influenced by

Accepted Answer

State-dependent memory refers to the phenomenon where people are more likely to recall information when they are in the same emotional or physiological state as when the memory was encoded. Mandy's anger helps her recall past instances of anger with her boyfriend.

Question 12

Posttraumatic stress disorder is an example of

Accepted Answer

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It is characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, and heightened arousal. The keyword in the options is "persistence", which is the hallmark of PTSD. Retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia are memory impairments and blocking is a phenomenon where information is temporarily inaccessible.

Question 13

Aman has anterograde amnesia.However,he can still remember how to ride a bicycle and how to tie his shoes,because his ________ memory is still intact.

Accepted Answer

Procedural memory is the memory responsible for remembering skills and actions, such as riding a bicycle or tying shoes. Anterograde amnesia affects explicit and episodic memory but typically spares procedural memory. Therefore, Aman can still remember how to perform these tasks through procedural memory.

Question 14

Jim and Phil are changing the oil in Jim's car.Jim is trying to remember all the actions involved in changing the oil.Phil is trying to remember the first time he ever changed the oil in his car.Jim is trying to recall a ________ memory and Phil is trying to recall a(n)________ memory.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Jim and Phil are changing the oil...

Question 15

When Jon visits his grandmother's house,he always thinks about his childhood.Something about the way her house smells seems to trigger these memories.This is an example of

Accepted Answer

This is an example of context-dependent memory, where the specific context or environment in which a memory is learned or experienced acts as a cue for recalling that memory later. In this case, the smell of Jon's grandmother's house is acting as a cue for recalling memories from his childhood.

Question 16

Recent research suggests that negative memories may be erased by

Accepted Answer

Recent research has focused on interfering with memory reconsolidation as a potential method for erasing negative memories. This process involves disrupting the formation of new memories by blocking the re-stabilization of existing memories during recall. This can weaken or erase the emotional intensity of negative memories. Mnemonics, inducing anterograde amnesia, and inducing proactive interference are not supported methods for erasing negative memories.

Question 17

The increased ability to retrieve memories that occurs when the encoding environment and the recall environment are the same is called

Accepted Answer

Context-dependent memory refers to the increased ability to retrieve memories when the context or environment during encoding and retrieval is the same. State-dependent memory refers to the increased ability to retrieve memories when the internal state or mood during encoding and retrieval is the same. Proactive interference refers to previously learned information interfering with the ability to learn and recall new information. Retroactive interference refers to newly learned information interfering with the ability to recall previously learned information. Therefore, the best choice for the increased ability to retrieve memories when the encoding and recall environment are the same is context-dependent memory (option A).

Question 18

If you study in the same room in which you take an exam,you will probably do better on the exam than if you had studied elsewhere.This outcome occurs because of ________ memory.

Accepted Answer

Context-dependent memory refers to the phenomenon where memory retrieval is improved by the same environmental context that was present during learning. In this case, studying in the same room as the exam creates a similar context, leading to improved memory retrieval and better performance on the exam.

Question 19

Implicit memories are stored in the part of the brain called the

Accepted Answer

Implicit memories, which are non-declarative and related to skills and habits, are primarily stored in the cerebellum. This is in contrast to explicit memories, which are declarative and related to conscious recall of events, and are primarily stored in the hippocampus and other parts of the temporal lobe.

Question 20

After a plane crash,Shera wakes up in a hospital and can remember everything about her life prior to the crash.However,every time her doctor visits,she believes she has never met him before.Based on this information,the doctor will most likely diagnose Shera with

Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories after a specific event. In Shera's case, she can remember everything about her life prior to the plane crash, but cannot form new memories, as evidenced by her not remembering her doctor from previous visits. This is consistent with anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia, on the other hand, would result in the loss of memories before the traumatic event. Proactive and retroactive interference refer to the interference of new or old memories, respectively, but do not describe Shera's specific symptoms.
