Questions and Answers

1.

Memory blocks are nearly always a sign of an underlying medical condition.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false. Memory blocks can occur for various reasons, not just medical conditions. It could be due to stress, lack of sleep, distraction, or simply not paying enough attention to the information being presented. While memory blocks can be a symptom of some medical conditions, it is not always the case.

2.

Short-term memory has a very limited capacity.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Short-term memory is a type of memory that can hold a limited amount of information for a short period of time. It is believed to have a capacity of about 7 items, plus or minus 2. This means that it can only hold a small amount of information at any given time. Once new information is introduced, old information is typically forgotten. Therefore, the statement that short-term memory has a very limited capacity is true.

3.

Short-term memory holds how many items, give or take?
- A.
  
  3
- B.
  
  7
- C.
  
  12
- D.
  
  15
Correct Answer
B. 7

Explanation
Short-term memory is the ability to hold a small amount of information in the mind for a short period of time. The given answer, 7, suggests that short-term memory can hold approximately 7 items on average. This means that individuals can typically remember and recall around 7 pieces of information, such as numbers, words, or objects, before they start to forget or become overwhelmed. However, it is important to note that this number can vary depending on factors such as individual differences and the complexity of the information being remembered.

4.

Long-term memory tends not to preserve meaning.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Long-term memory does preserve meaning. This type of memory is responsible for storing and retrieving information that has been learned and encoded over a long period of time. Meaningful information, such as concepts, facts, and experiences, can be stored and retrieved from long-term memory. Therefore, the statement that long-term memory tends not to preserve meaning is incorrect.

Rate this question:
5.

Which of the following will increase the chances of successful memory retrieval? (Select 2)
- A.
  
  Organising the information in storage
- B.
  
  Splitting 'paired' information
- C.
  
  Ignoring numeric information
- D.
  
  Matching retrieval context to the encoding context
Correct Answer(s)
A. Organising the information in storage
D. Matching retrieval context to the encoding context

Explanation
Organizing the information in storage increases the chances of successful memory retrieval because it helps create a structured and logical framework for the information, making it easier to locate and retrieve later. Matching the retrieval context to the encoding context also enhances memory retrieval as it recreates the same environmental or situational cues that were present during encoding, facilitating the retrieval of associated information. Splitting 'paired' information and ignoring numeric information are not directly related to improving memory retrieval and therefore do not increase the chances of successful retrieval.

6.

Which of the following are stages of memory? (Select 3)
- A.
  
  Storage
- B.
  
  Encoding
- C.
  
  Short-term
- D.
  
  Retrieval
- E.
  
  Long-term
Correct Answer(s)
A. Storage
B. Encoding
D. Retrieval

Explanation
The stages of memory are Storage, Encoding, and Retrieval. Storage refers to the process of retaining information in the memory over time. Encoding involves converting sensory information into a form that can be stored in memory. Retrieval is the process of accessing and bringing forth stored information from memory. Short-term and long-term are not stages of memory, but rather refer to the duration of memory storage.
