Questions and Answers
- 1.
Which of the following did Paivio consider to be representational units of memory?
- A.
Logogens
- B.
Imagens
- C.
Pictagens
- D.
Verbogens
Correct Answer(s)
A. Logogens
B. ImagensExplanation
Paivio considered both logogens and imagens to be representational units of memory. Logogens are responsible for processing and storing verbal information, such as words and language. Imagens, on the other hand, are responsible for processing and storing non-verbal information, such as images and visual representations. These two types of units work together to form a comprehensive memory system that can store and retrieve both verbal and non-verbal information.Rate this question:

Sensory organs play a part in the memory coding process accord to Dual Coding Theory.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The Dual Coding Theory suggests that sensory organs, such as sight, hearing, and touch, play a role in the memory coding process. This means that when we experience something through our senses, it is more likely to be stored in our memory. This theory proposes that information is processed and stored in two different ways - verbally and visually. Therefore, the statement "Sensory organs play a part in the memory coding process according to Dual Coding Theory" is true.Rate this question:

Which of the following is considered to have "limited capacity?"
- A.
Long Term Memory
- B.
Stimuli
- C.
The Senses
- D.
Working Memory
Correct Answer
D. Working MemoryExplanation
Working memory is considered to have "limited capacity" because it refers to the cognitive system responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information for short periods of time. It is involved in tasks such as problem-solving, decision-making, and comprehension. Unlike long-term memory, which has a vast storage capacity, working memory can only hold a limited amount of information at any given time. This limitation allows individuals to focus on relevant information and filter out irrelevant details, aiding in cognitive processing and efficient functioning.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a type of processing identified by Dual Coding Theory?
- A.
Representational
- B.
Referential
- C.
Informational
- D.
Associative
Correct Answer
C. InformationalExplanation
The Dual Coding Theory proposes that there are two distinct processing systems involved in learning and cognition: verbal and non-verbal. These processing systems are further divided into four types: representational, referential, associative, and informational. The correct answer, "Informational," is not a type of processing identified by Dual Coding Theory. This theory focuses on the integration of verbal and non-verbal information, rather than the purely informational processing of data.Rate this question:

________ is considered to be the representational unit of nonverbal object/events.
Correct Answer
imagens, Imagens, imagen, ImagenExplanation
The answer is "imagens, Imagens, imagen, Imagen" because these are different forms of the word "image" in different languages. "Imagen" is the Spanish word for image, and "imagen" is the Portuguese word for image. "Imagens" and "Imagens" are the plural forms of the word in Portuguese and Spanish respectively. Therefore, these variations represent the representational unit of nonverbal object/events in different languages.Rate this question:
