Question 2 (0.5 points)
When a person is an expert in a specific topic, they:
Question 2 options:
are more likely to have strong memory for all topics.
have improved memory for that topic, but not necessarily for other topics.

Question 3 (0.5 points)
Research on flashbulb memories seems to support which of the following?
Question 3 options:
Flashbulb memories are likely not different from regular memories, they just feel more vivid.
Flashbulb memories can only form if we are given consistent information the day after the event.
Flashbulb memories are less accurate than other memories formed at the same time.
Flashbulb memories are stored using a separate mechanism from other memories.
Question 4 (0.5 points)
If you’re completing this quiz after reading the chapter, selecting the correct answers relies on your:
Question 4 options:
procedural memory
implicit memory
explicit memory
autobiographical memory
Question 5 (0.5 points)
During COVID, we’ve all been stuck learning, studying and being tested in the same location (sitting at home). How is this likely to affect our recall of information when being tested?
Question 5 options:
We should recall the information better, because the recall happens in the same context as the encoding.
We should struggle with reality monitoring, because we are learning information from different sources.
We should struggle with retroactive interference, because the test erases what we already learned.
We should recall the information worse, because we can’t form schemas in an unchanging environment.
Question 6 (0.5 points
What does research on eyewitness testimony teach us about long-term memory?
Question 6 options:
Our memories can change as we get new information and new experiences.
Our errors when giving eyewitness testimony are usually about the central details of what we saw.
Our long-term memories are very reliable as long as they’re about people the same ethnicity as us.
Our confidence about the accuracy of our memories is very closely related to how accurate they really are.
Question 7 (0.5 points)
How do schemas affect the way we remember things?
Question 7 options:
They affect memories from our childhood, but not from adulthood.
They remind us how inconsistent the world is, making unique events more memorable.
They provide expectations for what normally happens, so they bias our memory toward our expectations.
They cause our memories to gradually drift to be more extreme than what actually happened.
Question 8 (0.5 points)
Which of the following provides the best description of the concept of elaboration?
Question 8 options:
Elaboration happens when you think about how an item is related to other concepts.
Elaboration means that you retrieve the item from working memory to use in a current task.
Elaboration is what allows non-experts to remember information about a topic.
Elaboration occurs when you have successfully used encoding specificity.
Question 9 (0.5 points)
What does the constructivist approach to memory theorize?
Question 9 options:
Our memories become more accurate as we age, because we form better expectations about the world.
We are better at remembering things related to construction.
Long-term memory is very reliable, but working memory is susceptible to social influences.
Memory is an active process, and memories can change with new experience.
Question 10 (0.5 points)
What is meant by levels of processing?
Question 10 options:
The amount of expertise someone has about a topic.
What part of the brain is activated when we are doing a memory task.
Whether we need to think about the meaning of something or just its surface characteristics.
The way that words sound.
