D109'. Early in the history of experimental psychology it was found that merely hearing something repeatedly was insufficient to learn it. Though a psychologist read the same passage to his young son every day, the son was not able to repeat it accurately. It is the habit system that makes possible the learning of a sequence, has of phone numbers, passwords, etc. The best way to learn a password is

repeat the entire sequence in reverse order as soon as you hear it

count to seven after you hear it and then repeat it

repeat the entire sequence as soon as you hear it

have someone say it to you one character at a time and repeat each character as it is heard

have someone say it to you one character at a time and visualize each character as it is heard

Repeat the entire sequence as soon as you hear it

D110'. Sequence learning is difficult. When a sequence has more than nine items, thus exceeding the immediate memory span of most individuals, an error on the first repetition attempt is likely.

Second

4th through 12th

Fourteenth or Fifteenth

First

D113'. There have always been books with tips on how to remember things, written by individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

Car-jacking in newark

D116'. Psychologists were studying verbal learning for 60 years before they appreciated how important the characteristics of the words and the strategies of the students were in determining how much was remembered.

All lists were be learned equally well.

cat, gem, saw, ... when using visual imagery to learn the list

vague, well, odd, ... when using verbal rehearsal to learn the list

cat, gem, saw, ... when using verbal rehearsal to learn the list

vague, well, odd, ... when using visual imagery to learn the list

D117'. Both high imagery words and nameable pictures are easy to remember, especially if the most appropriate study strategy is used. What is true about learning high imagery words and nameable pictures?

an imagery task results in better memory for pictures than naming them

Naming words results in better memory for them than mentally imaging their referents

imaging their referents results in better memory for words than naming them

pictures of objects and the words that name them are always remembered equally well

words with imageable referents are always remembered better than pictures

Imaging their referents results in better memory for words than naming them

Q78. The reason that the same set of ambiguous strokes is read "B" in one context and "13" in another context without awareness of the ambiguity is

The structural description of the stroke pattern is different each time it is encountered

It is not possible to perceive both interpretations of an ambiguous visual pattern

Making an interpretation in one context makes it difficult to make the same interpretation in another context

The context primes only one structural description

letters are more salient for some people and numbers are more salient for other people

the context primes only one structural description
