EXP 3604 EXAM #2 Chapters4-5 exam questions and
answers
Why would it be more beneficial for you to practice recall instead of
recognition when studying for this exam?
Practicing recall instead of recognition is more beneficial for
studying because recall requires you to actively retrieve information
from memory without cues, which strengthens your memory and
understanding of the material. This process enhances your ability to
remember the information during the exam, as it mimics the
conditions you will face when answering questions. In contrast,
recognition often provides hints or options, which can be easier but
doesn’t reinforce memory as effectively.
Retrieval
Locating information in memory storage and accessing that
information
Explicit Memory Task
A memory task in which participants are instructed to remember
some information. Later, a recall or recognition test requires them
to intentionally retrieve that previously learned information.
Implicit Memory Task
An indirect measure of memory. Participants see the material
(usually a series of words or pictures). Later, during the test phase,
they are instructed to complete a cognitive task that does not
directly ask for either recall or recognition. Previous experience
with the material facilitates performance on the later task.
Repetition Priming Task
A memory task in which recent exposure to a word increases the
likelihood that a person will think of that particular word, when
given a cue that could evoke many different words.
, Dissociation
In cognitive neuroscience, an outcome that occurs (a) when a
variable has large effects on Test A, but little or no effects on Test B;
or (b) when a variable has one kind of effect if measured by Test A,
and the opposite effect if measured by Test B. A dissociation is
similar to the concept of a statistical interaction.
Retrograde Amnesia
Loss of memory for events that occurred prior to brain damage. This
deficit is especially severe for events that occurred during the years
just before the damage.
Anterograde Amnesia
The inability to form memories for events that occur after brain
damage.
Hippocampus
A structure located underneath the cortex that is important in many
learning and memory tasks.
Expertise
A person's impressive memory abilities or this person's consistently
exceptional performance on representative tasks in a particular
area.
implicit memory
Implicit memory refers to unconscious memories that influence
thoughts and behaviors without deliberate recall. For example,
riding a bike or playing a musical instrument are skills learned
through practice and repetition, but you may not consciously
remember the steps involved.
explicit memory
on the other hand, involves conscious recall of information and
experiences. It can be further divided into episodic memory
(personal experiences) and semantic memory (facts and
knowledge). For example, remembering your last birthday party
(episodic) or knowing that Paris is the capital of France (semantic)
are both forms of explicit memory.
