Ordering the three memory functions correctly gives:

  1. Encoding, retrieval, storage
  2. Encoding, storage, retrieval
  3. Storage, encoding, retrieval
  4. Retrieval, encoding, storage
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Encoding, storage, retrieval

1. Information has to get in before it can be held or brought back. 2. We get information into our brains through a process called encoding. 3. Once the information has been encoded, we have to somehow retain it, which is storage. 4. Retrieval, or getting the information out of memory and back into awareness, is the third function. 5. The order is fixed by what each function requires of the one before it. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_

Ordering the three memory stages by how long information is held gives:

  1. Short-term, sensory, long-term
  2. Sensory, long-term, short-term
  3. Sensory, short-term, long-term
  4. Long-term, short-term, sensory
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Sensory, short-term, long-term

1. Each stage holds information for longer than the one before it. 2. In order for a memory to go into storage, that is long-term memory, it has to pass through three distinct stages. 3. Those stages are sensory memory, short-term memory, and finally long-term memory. 4. Sensory memory holds an impression for a fraction of a second. 5. Long-term memory can hold material for a lifetime. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_

The working memory model differs from the simple short-term store because it holds that short-term memory:

  1. Holds nothing at all
  2. Lasts a whole lifetime
  3. Cannot be measured
  4. Has different forms
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Has different forms

1. The stage model treats each stage as a single undivided store. 2. Later work questioned that for the middle stage. 3. Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 proposed a working memory model in which short-term memory has different forms. 4. Those forms handle different kinds of material rather than competing for one slot. 5. The model keeps short-term memory brief; it is the internal structure that changes. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 8 'Memory', sections 8.1-8.4_
