Retrieval

Question 1 of 8

1

What is Recognition memory?

Select one of the following:

  • Process by which you like faces of people you have seen before (recognize), more than novel faces

  • Ability to correctly distinguish between a previously seen stimulus and a new or novel stimuli

  • Phenomena by which memories that are retrieved more frequently are more susceptible to corruption by external stimuli

Explanation

Question 2 of 8

1

What is the fundamental difference between a Forced-Choice Recognition Test and a Yes-No Recognition Test?

Select one of the following:

  • Participants in the Yes-No tests are only ask yes-no questions, compared to the FCRT participants who can be asked a wide range of varying questions

  • yes-no recognition tests do not yield results testing Retrieval memory, rather test imagination inflation

  • In a yes-no test shows participants 1 target at a time to gain a yes-no answer to if they have seen it before, while the FCRT shows participants multiple targets at once and participants are required to choose the one they have seen before

Explanation

Question 3 of 8

1

What are issues with testing recognition memory? (can choose multiple answers)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Hard to determining exactly what qualifies as good recognition

  • Impossible to determine what recognition memory really is

  • Cannot be sure individual participants are just guessing when they are unsure

  • very few people have the ability to recall/ recognise familiar objects in an experimental setting

Explanation

Question 4 of 8

1

What is Signal Detection Theory?

Select one of the following:

  • A persons ability to remember commands (such as army signals)

  • An individuals ability to detect body language of strangers to access situations by generalizing previously determined signals

  • A model of Recognition theory by which traces in our memory have strength based on their activation level in memory-creates familiarity

  • A model of Encoding memory that allows individuals to use signals from previously encoded memories to attach new knowledge to the greater knowledge map of the topic

Explanation

Question 5 of 8

1

What causes traces (in SDT) to vary in familiarity?

Select one or more of the following:

  • How much attention was paid to it at point of encoding

  • How many times the original target was repeated

  • Whether or not an individual likes the target

  • How similar the target is to everyday objects

Explanation

Question 6 of 8

1

Signal Detection Theory assumes new items will be completely novel and have no familiarity

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 7 of 8

1

What potential reasons are there for new items having a degree of familiarity?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Items maybe seen frequently outside they experiment, like a table, or a door

  • Individuals are only guessing answers and not truly paying attention to the test

  • new items may be similar to items studied

Explanation

Question 8 of 8

1

What are possible ways for new items to be less familiar and old items to be made more familiar (bell curves be further apart)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Inform participants at the beginning of the experiment that it is imperative they remember the old items

  • Increase the amount of time each item is studied during the encoding phase

  • Increase the number of times an item is studied during the encoding phase

  • Remove the individuals whose scores dont reflect expected results
