Levels of Processing
100

This component of working memory temporarily stores auditory information and is involved in language processing.

Phonological Loop

100

Information must pass through this stage before entering short-term memory.

Sensory Memory

100

This perspective emphasizes unconscious drives and childhood experiences.

Psychoanalytic

100

This phenomenon occurs when individuals exert less effort in a group setting.

Social loafing

100

Processing the meaning of a word is an example of this type of encoding.

Semantic processing

200

According to Baddeley and Hitch, this part of working memory coordinates attention and integrates information from other subsystems.

Central executive

200

This is the amount of time that memory can be held in short term memory according to the multi-store model.

30 seconds

200

This perspective focuses on observable behavior and reinforcement.

Behavioral

200

Milgram’s obedience study demonstrated the power of this social influence factor.

Authority

200

Which level of processing is least effective for long-term retention: structural, phonemic, or semantic?

structural 

300

This subsystem of working memory is responsible for visual and spatial information.

Visuospatial sketchpad

300

This has to happen in order to move sensory memory into short term memory.

Paying attention

300

This perspective emphasizes human potential and self-actualization.  

Humanistic

300

This term describes the tendency to conform to group norms even when they conflict with personal beliefs. for acceptance.

Normative social influence

300

Craik and Lockhart's experiment demonstrated that this type of processing leads to the best recall

Semantic

400

This type of memory allows you to mentally rotate objects or visualize spatial layouts.

Visuospatial sketchpad

400

This temporary memory system is limited to about 7 items, plus or minus 2.

short term memory

400

Which perspective would most likely study how thinking patterns influence depression?

Cognitive

400

What percent of people in Milgram's study used a fatal shock? 

65%

400

Of the next two questions, this question would lead to deeper processing: “Is this word in capital letters?” or “Is this word a type of fruit?”

Is this word a type of fruit?

500

Which part of working memory helps integrate long term memories with current experience/problem solving?

Episodic buffer

500

This process is required to move information from short-term to long-term memory.

Encoding/Elaborative rehearsal

500

This perspective emphasizes the role of genetics, hormones, and brain structures.

Biological Perspective

500

This is what happens when we lose parts of our sense of self when we become part of a group.

500

This level involves encoding based on sound
