Getting information out of memory and back into awareness is called:

  1. Retrieval
  2. Encoding
  3. Storage
  4. Chunking
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Retrieval

1. The three memory functions run input, hold, output. 2. Retrieval is getting the information out of memory and back into awareness. 3. It is the third function of the three. 4. Encoding is the first and storage the second. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_

Holding onto information once it has been encoded is called:

  1. Recall
  2. Storage
  3. Encoding
  4. Retrieval
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Storage

1. Something must happen between putting information in and getting it out. 2. Once the information has been encoded, we have to somehow retain it. 3. That retaining is storage, the second memory function. 4. Retrieval only becomes possible because storage happened first. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_

The three stages a memory passes through on the way to storage are sensory memory, long-term memory and:

  1. Explicit memory
  2. Flashbulb memory
  3. Short-term memory
  4. Implicit memory
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Short-term memory

1. The stage model orders memory by how long information is held. 2. In order for a memory to go into storage, it has to pass through three distinct stages. 3. Those stages are sensory memory, short-term memory, and finally long-term memory. 4. Implicit and explicit describe kinds of long-term memory rather than stages. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_
