Question 1: Memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and

organizational devices.

Answer:

Mnemonics

Question 2: The encoding of picture images.

Answer:

Visual encoding Question 3: A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds.

Answer:

Echoic memory

Question 4: Whorf's hypothesis that language determines the way we think.

Answer:

Linguistic determinism

Question 5: The retention of encoded information over time.

Answer:

Storage Question 6: A measure of memory that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material for a second time.

Answer:

Relearning Question 7: Beginning about age 2, the stage in speech development during which a child speaks mostly two-word statements.

Answer:

Two word stage Question 8: A neural center that is located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage.

Answer:

Hippocampus

Question 9: A mental image or best example of a category.

Answer:

Prototype Question 10: A newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long term memory.

Answer:

Working memory

Question 11: A clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event.

Answer:

Flashbulb memory

Question 12: The conscious repetition of information, either to maintain it in consciousness or to encode it for storage.

Answer:

Overconfidence Question 20: A simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms.

Answer:

Heuristic Question 21: An increase in a synapse's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation. Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory.

Answer:

Long term potentiation (LTP) Question 22: Early speech stage in which a child speaks like a telegram-"go car"-using mostly nouns and verbs.

Answer:

Telegraphic speech
