Question 5 options:
stimulus
short-term
sensory
long-term
Question 6
Ebbinghaus’ (1885) forgetting function/curve shows that when one encodes/studies by cramming and (just) repeating the information to be remembered, there is a large initial rapid decline in memory recall for novel information followed by
Question 6 options:
a leveling out of memory.
a noticeable decrease in memory.
a slight decrease in memory.
a slight increase in memory.
Question 7
The surprising ease with which people form false memories best illustrates that the processes of encoding and retrieval involve:

sensory memory.
short-term memory.
long-term memory.
Question 10
In general (for most people most of the time), time spent in developing imagery, chunking, and associating concepts and material to be learned and remembered with yourself and what you already know is more effective than time spent repeating new information again and again.
