Which term describes the process of strengthening and stabilizing a memory trace over time?

Reconsolidation
Retrieval
Encoding
Consolidation (correct)

What is the relationship between sleep, rest, and memory consolidation according to Wang et al. (2021)?

Sleep and rest have no impact on memory consolidation
Rest enhances memory consolidation but sleep does not
Sleep and rest enhance memory consolidation (correct)
Sleep enhances memory consolidation but rest does not

The amygdala is responsible for retrieval of emotional memories
The amygdala is responsible for encoding emotional memories (correct)
The amygdala is responsible for consolidating emotional memories
The amygdala has no role in the relationship between emotions and memory

Explain why the partial-report method is better suited to assess the capacity of sensory memory.

The partial-report method is better suited to assess the capacity of sensory memory because it allows for the measurement of the information that is briefly stored in sensory registers before it decays or is overwritten by new sensory information. Signup and view all the answers

Compare and contrast short-term and working memory, describing the structural features of each model.

Short-term memory and working memory both involve the temporary storage and manipulation of information. However, short-term memory is a more passive storage system, while working memory is an active system that also involves attention and control processes. Additionally, short-term memory is primarily associated with the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad, while working memory includes these components as well as the central executive.

Describe how the results of the Sternberg Search support a serial exhaustive model of STM search.

The results of the Sternberg Search experiment support a serial exhaustive model of short-term memory (STM) search because they demonstrate that participants search through each item in their STM sequentially, examining all items before making a decision about whether a target item is present or absent. This supports the idea that STM search involves a serial and exhaustive process. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the Production Effect and discuss how changes to the manipulation might impact the results.

The Production Effect refers to the phenomenon where information is better remembered when it is actively produced rather than passively read. Changes to the manipulation, such as altering the type of production task or the difficulty level, may impact the results by either enhancing or diminishing the effect. For example, if the production task requires more effort or is more engaging, it may lead to stronger memory effects. Signup and view all the answers

Define consolidation and reconsolidation.

Consolidation is the process by which memories are stabilized and strengthened over time, making them more resistant to interference and decay. Reconsolidation is a subsequent process that occurs when a memory is retrieved and then re-stored, potentially leading to the modification or updating of the memory. Both consolidation and reconsolidation play important roles in the formation and maintenance of long-term memories. Signup and view all the answers

Explain how encoding, retrieval, and consolidation interact to affect long-term memory.

Encoding refers to the initial acquisition and processing of information, retrieval involves accessing and recalling stored memories, and consolidation is the process of stabilizing and strengthening memories over time. These three processes are interconnected and influence each other. Effective encoding facilitates successful retrieval and consolidation, while retrieval and consolidation can also enhance subsequent encoding. Overall, the interactions between encoding, retrieval, and consolidation contribute to the formation and maintenance of long-term memories. Signup and view all the answers
