Recency Effect
300

A manipulation creates a change to variable X and no change to variable Z ,that is called? 

Dissociation

Short term memory only stores information while Working memory stores and processes information. 

400

Describe the Reasoning experiment
Participants are given a string of digits and asked to rehearse the numbers out loud , while rehearsing they were asked to decide if a logical statement was true or false. Subjects were slower in the reasoning task when the digits were longer.
500

A plot of the percentage of participants remembering each word against the position of that word in the list in a memory experiment on recall. 
500
What is context-dependent memory ?
The idea that you score higher on an exam if you are in the same room where lecture is given

Describe the Spacing Effect Experiment
The spacing experiment is when participants were show a series of repeated words either spaced or massed. They found that people did better when the words were spaced.
