![]() Adults have greater categorical knowledge, and that ultimately influenced the memory for locations. This is consistent with what we read in the passage and what we saw in the results. is influenced by categorical knowledge.We can look at Figure 1 and note that in the serial condition, adults had significantly greater average central placement error. is comparable to adults by nine years of age.Looking at the serial condition, Adults made greater average central placement errors than the younger groups. The central placement error was determined based on the errors participants made in placing objects from the same category nearer to the central point than their original locations. We want to note the results of the experiment were found in Figure 1. This is a likely memory error in this procedure, so we can stick with answer choice D as our best answer.ģ) This is an open-ended question so we’ll dive right into the four answer choices in a second. ![]() The participants might recall objects from the same category as the training objects because of the activation pattern in the participants’ minds. Recalling objects that were not presented but are from the same category as the training objects This is consistent with the spreading of activation theory.This is not relevant to this specific experiment. Selective forgetting of the training objects that were placed in the center of the box Selective forgetting involves recalling things that are more consistent with the participant’s own thoughts and ideas.We don’t expect poorer memory for the training object at the later points in the experiment. This is what we expect to happen here as well. Poorer memory for the training objects seen at the later points in the experiment Recency effect is when the items that were presented last are also recalled well as they are still being held in the working short-term memory.This possible error is not relevant to this specific question or procedure. Making source monitoring errors regarding the location of the training objects A source-monitoring error is a memory error in which the source of a memory is incorrectly attributed to some specific recollected experience.For example, at the mention of the color red and the word “vehicle,” two nodes that may be activated at the same time to relate a personal memory of a car they owned, or a fire truck. These nodes create an activation pattern of other related nodes and this is how singular events are remembered. Spreading activation is a theory proposed that relates storage of memories to the activation of a series of nodes. Let’s define spreading activation and give an example. There’s a slight change to the experimental procedure where the participants now have to recall all the objects instead of placing them in a box. We can stick with answer choice A as our best option.Ģ) To answer this question, we want to make sure to visualize what is going on in the question stem. This is also not more likely in the serial condition of the experiment. By utilizing both while learning, information can be learned and internalized better. Verbal and visual information are processed differently. This is not more likely in the serial condition of the experiment Misinformation effect happens when a person’s recall of memories becomes less accurate because of additional information following the event. Retroactive interference occurs when old memories are changed by new ones, sometimes so much that the original memory is forgotten. The misinformation effect is an example of retroactive interference. Not what’s happening in the serial condition. For example, if you learn a behavior on a particular drug, you’ll perform that behavior better in the future on that same drug. This is the phenomenon where people will learn something in a particular state, they will recall information better in that same state. This is consistent with the serial-position effect we mentioned in the breakdown. In free recall, there is often a primacy effect in which the items that were presented first are recalled well as they have already been encoded into long-term memory. Typically, a setup like the serial condition can lead to the serial-position effect, which is the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items in a series best, and the middle items worst. The participants in the serial condition were presented with the training objects one at a time.” We’re focused on the serial condition and how it would differ from the simultaneous condition. “The participants in the simultaneous condition were presented with all the training objects all at once and were asked to study their locations simultaneously. ![]() ![]() ![]() The author tells us there were two different types of training conditions. 1) First thing we’re going to do as we jump into this question is differentiate between the two conditions. ![]()
