Basically, this is helping me the most. This is based on the Grivas, Down and Carter Psychology VCE units 3&4, in Australia.

- 2.Incoming sensory information must go through this sequence in order to be remembered:

- C.
Encoding, storage, retrieval.
- 3.
- A.
Free recall, cued recall and serial recall.
- B.
Relearning, recall and recognition.
- C.
Method of savings, free recall and recognition.
- 4.Which of the measures of retention is concidered the most senstive?
- A.
Recognition
- B.
Free recall
- C.
Recall
- D.
Relearning
- E.
Cued recall
- 5.The Atkinson-Shiffrin model describes:
- A.
Human memory as consisting of three distinguishable kinds of memory, with each one representing a stage through which information passes in a sequential way.
- B.
The memory span of each individual human being.
- 6.The entry point of memory - the initial stage of the memory system in which all of the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form for a very brief time:
- 7.A memory system with a limited storage capacity in which information is stored for a relatively short period of time:
- 8.Working memory consists of three storage systems, two of which are verbal working memory (phonological loop) and Visual working memory (visuospatial sketchpad) and the third one is?
- 9.The duration of short-tern memory is approximately:
- A.
18-20 seconds
- B.
One to two minutes
- C.
Three to four hours
- D.
30 to 40 seconds
- E.
2-4 seconds
- 10.Rehearsal is the process of actively manipulating information so that it can be retained in memory. there are two main types of rehearsal, they are:
- A.
Sustenance and maintenance rehearsal.
- B.
Specific and non-specific rehearsal.
- C.
Maintenance and elaborative rehearsal.
- D.

- A.
Episodic ; Semantic
- B.
Semantic ; Episodic
- 15.This theory proposes that information in LTM is organised systematically in the form of overlapping networks (or 'grids') of concepts that are interconnected and interrelated by meaningful links:
- 16.Recall is better for items at the end and beginningof the list than for items in the middle of the list, this is called:
- A.
Primacy effect
- B.
Recency effect
- C.
Serial position effect
- 17.The serial postion effect used to describe superior recall of items at the end of a list is called the :
- A.
Recency effect
- B.
Primacy effect
- C.
Serial effect
- D.
Semantic network effect
