what is it
ACE stands for Association of Continuing Education. If ACE is used to remember this organization, it is said to be an
acronym
The famous ROY G BIV that stands for the colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) is an example of:
acronym.
Randolf is studying for his Japanese vocabulary quiz. Randolf has a long list of translations in front of him. Which is the most efficient study strategy?
Randolf should cover the Japanese words, present himself with the English and try to retrieve each translation. If he fails, he should uncover the word, repeat it, and then come back to the item later
Massed practice means that:
Is comprised of training or learning sessions that are long and intense as opposed to distributed practice which uses shorter and less intense sessions to impart information to a student or trainee.
True or False
Judgments of learning can help us distinguish between easy and difficult items, but we should be aware of overconfidence and the stability bias and review even easy items.
True
Kornell (2009) asked participants to study difficult GRE-type words and their more common synonyms (e.g., effulgent: brilliant). Kornell found that
students who were made to distribute their study remembered many more vocabulary terms than those who were made to mass their study.
Encoding variability means that:
multiple encoding conditions produce good recall.
True or False
Cognitive interviews reduce misleading question effects
True
Campbell and Mayer (2009) tested college students during classes. In one condition, students in an Educational Psychology class received a PowerPoint presentation in which questions were included as part of the presentation. In another set of PowerPoint, only statements were made. They found that
the PowerPoint with questions led to better retrieval from the college students.
Expanded retrieval practice means:
initially, you space your study close together, but then your subsequent trials get further and further apart.
"Every Good Boy Does Fine" specifies the musical note on the line in the treble clef in musical notation. This is an example of
acrostic
The mnemonist Sherashevsky (also known as just S.) relied on what memory technique?
his natural ability for synesthesia
That we underestimate future forgetting and overestimate future remembering based on what we can retrieve now is known as:
stability bias.
True or False
judgments of learning are sensitive to the increase in learning generated by retrieval practice.
False
Maguire, Valentine, Wilding, and Kapur (2003) were able to memory competitors using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Relative to normal controls, the memory competitors:
showed more activity in areas of the right prefrontal cortex, which are associated with spatial memory and navigation.
