Memory and Learning Strategies Quiz

Doing well on exams requires 1) an effective study plan, 2) active study strategies, and 3) a good ______.

One of the most useful of these is the Information Processing Model. “Having a good ______” involves both putting information into ______ and getting it back out—both storage and retrieval.

What you typically think of as learning involves storing information in your ______ so that it will be available later when you need it.

Recall a time when you thought you studied a particular topic well enough, only to find that you couldn’t remember the information during the test.

Perhaps you never got the information in your long ______.

Or you were simply unable to recall it when you needed to.

Information Processing Model suggests that ______ is complex and consists of various processes and stages. For example, there are at least three types of ______:

To learn and remember, we must encode, store, and retrieve information. The first step in this process is encoding—interpreting information in a meaningful way.

The second step in the ______ process, storage, involves working on (for example, repeating and organizing) information so that it can be placed into LTM.

Sensory ______, also known as the sensory registers; essentially, our senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) are always very busy.
