Which of the following is NOT a stage of the information-processing model of memory?

  1. Encoding

  2. Storage

  3. Retrieval

  4. Decay


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The information-processing model of memory consists of three main stages: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Decay is not a stage of this model.

What is the term for the process of transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory?

  1. Encoding

  2. Consolidation

  3. Retrieval

  4. Forgetting


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Consolidation is the process by which information is transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory.

Which of the following is NOT a type of long-term memory?

  1. Episodic memory

  2. Semantic memory

  3. Procedural memory

  4. Working memory


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Working memory is a type of short-term memory, not long-term memory.

What is the term for the phenomenon of forgetting information over time?

  1. Encoding failure

  2. Storage failure

  3. Retrieval failure

  4. Forgetting


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Forgetting is the term for the phenomenon of forgetting information over time.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can influence forgetting?

  1. Time

  2. Interference

  3. Emotion

  4. Motivation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Motivation is not a factor that can influence forgetting.

What is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is similar to information that has been recently learned?

  1. Priming

  2. Recency effect

  3. Spacing effect

  4. Serial position effect


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Priming is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is similar to information that has been recently learned.

Which of the following is NOT a type of learning?

  1. Classical conditioning

  2. Operant conditioning

  3. Observational learning

  4. Rote learning


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rote learning is not a type of learning, but rather a method of memorization.

What is the term for the phenomenon of learning something new by observing the behavior of others?

  1. Classical conditioning

  2. Operant conditioning

  3. Observational learning

  4. Rote learning


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Observational learning is the term for the phenomenon of learning something new by observing the behavior of others.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can influence learning?

  1. Attention

  2. Motivation

  3. Emotion

  4. Genetics


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Genetics is not a factor that can influence learning.

What is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented at the beginning or end of a list?

  1. Priming

  2. Recency effect

  3. Spacing effect

  4. Serial position effect


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Serial position effect is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented at the beginning or end of a list.

Which of the following is NOT a type of memory?

  1. Short-term memory

  2. Long-term memory

  3. Working memory

  4. Episodic memory


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Episodic memory is not a type of memory, but rather a subtype of long-term memory.

What is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented in a meaningful context?

  1. Priming

  2. Recency effect

  3. Spacing effect

  4. Context effect


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Context effect is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented in a meaningful context.

Which of the following is NOT a type of forgetting?

  1. Decay

  2. Interference

  3. Repression

  4. Amnesia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Amnesia is not a type of forgetting, but rather a condition that results in the loss of memory.

What is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented in a spaced manner?

  1. Priming

  2. Recency effect

  3. Spacing effect

  4. Serial position effect


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Spacing effect is the term for the phenomenon of remembering information that is presented in a spaced manner.

Which of the following is NOT a type of memory consolidation?

  1. Synaptic consolidation

  2. Systems consolidation

  3. Declarative consolidation

  4. Procedural consolidation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Declarative consolidation is not a type of memory consolidation, but rather a subtype of systems consolidation.
