Question 4

Answer

The way information is changed into a form which can be stored, e.g. visual, acoustic, semantic.
The amount of time information is stored
The way information is lost and forgotten

Question 5

Question

Information is rehearsed in the STM and if rehearsed sufficiently it is transferred to LTM

Answer

True
False

Question 6

Question

What capacity does the short-term memory hold?

Answer

There is no limit
7 plus or minus 2
Just 7
5 plus or minus 2

Question 7

Question

Who stated that the short-term memory had a limited capacity of 7 plus or minus 2? and what year? (SELECT TWO ANSWERS)

Answer

Jacobs
Miller
Glanzer and Cunitz
1956
1887
1966

Question 8

Question

Information in short-term memory is mainly stored in what form?

Answer

Visual
Acoustic
Haptic

Question 9

Question

Information in the short-term sensory store is stored in chunks of 7 plus or minus 2?

Answer

True
False

Question 10

Question

If there is too much information and it cannot be rehearsed the short-term sensory store still transfers it to the long-term memory?

Answer

True
False

Question 11

Question

Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) conducted a study in which they asked participants to recall a list of words. Half of the participants were required to recall the list of words immediately. What did their results show?

Answer

All participants only remembered 7 words
Individuals tended to forget most of the words on the list apart from the last words, as short-term memory has limited duration
Participants tended to remember the first few and last few words and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list
Participants tended to remember the words in the middle of the list and forget the words at the beginning and end of the list

Question 12

Question

In Glazer and Cunitz's (1966) study half of the participants were asked to conduct a task before recalling the list of words. Results found that the participants who had to carry out a task before recalling the list tended to forget the words at the end of the list, but still remember the words at the start of the list. Does this support the MSM?

Answer

Question 13

Question

Encoding is mainly semantic (meaning based) in the long-term memory store.

Answer

True
False

Question 14

Question

According to the MSM the long-term memory store has a limited capacity and duration

Answer

True
False

Question 15

Question

Forgetting in long-term memory occurs in the retrieval stage not the processing stage

Answer

True
False

Question 16

Question

Each store within the MSM differs in terms of what?

Answer

Duration - how long the information is stored
Capacity - how much information is stored
Encoding - the form of information (eg. visual).
