Answer 3

auditory is to visual

Question 4

levels-of-processing model

Answer 4

memory for information is affected by the depth of processing that information

three levels: structural, phonemic, and semantic

implies that elaborative rehearsal is more effective than maintenance rehearsal due to processing at semantic level

Question 5

primacy and recency effects & timing

Answer 5

the research has shown that, as the delay between study and recall increases, memory for the last item in a list decreases but memory for the first item increases – i.e., there is a shift from a recency effect to a primacy effect.
