Exam 6: Memory-Part C

Often,semantic encoding occurs without conscious effort.

The hippocampus is highly involved in the priming of memories.

Remembering the past and envisioning the future activate two distinct memory systems in the brain.

Without rehearsal,short-term memory fades in less than 30 seconds.

When asked to remember their grades in high school,college students' memories for bad grades tend to be more accurate than memories of good grades.

Neurotransmission,or communication among neurons,is analogous to you sending a toy boat across a river to your friend on the other side.

Divided attention results in decreased hippocampal activity during encoding.

Most forgetting occurs soon after the occurrence of the event to be remembered.

Collaborative recall typically is better than the recall of any individual comprising the group.

Repeatedly retrieving a piece of information from memory produces roughly the same effects on long-term recall as studying the information repeatedly.

Long-term potentiation occurs in the hippocampus.

Proactive interference refers to situations in which earlier learning impairs memory for information acquired later.

Emotional events tend to be better remembered than nonemotional events.

As time passes,we begin to lose information in our long-term memory store at a faster and faster rate.

The memory of how to do a cartwheel is an episodic memory.

Procedural memory is a type of working memory.

fMRI scans reveal greater hippocampal activity during true recognition relative to false recognition.

People with damage to the frontal lobes are especially prone to memory misattribution errors.

The encoding specificity principle states that retrieval cues which induce novel cognitive states are especially powerful at evoking memory retrieval.
