Questions and Answers

Why does deep processing lead to better memory retention?

  • it involves repeated exposure to the stimulus
  • it relies on implicit memory rather than explicit
  • it encourages deeper semantic encoding and meaningful connections (correct)
  • it focuses primarily on surface level characteristics of information

Which of the following is an example of procedural memory?

  • Remembering your first day of school
  • Knowing the capital of Canada
  • Playing the piano without thinking about each note (correct)
  • Recalling the name of a person you met last week

We learned that there are two major types of long-term memory: explicit and implicit memory. What are the three types of implicit memory?

  • Priming, procedural memory and conditioning (correct)
  • Episodic memory, priming and procedural memory
  • Conditioning, priming and semantic memory
  • Procedural memory, semantic memory and episodic memory

Two students are preparing for an upcoming exam. Student A studies by rereading and repeating the lecture notes once everyday until the exam day. Student B studies by relating the material to concepts from their other classes as well as in their everyday life. Both of these students are encoding information into their LTM.
