Question

7. The "testing effect" refers to the phenomenon that:

A. studied information will only be consolidated into long-term memory if it is subsequently tested.

B. testing is maximally effective when no feedback is provided.

C. testing increases the likelihood that explicit memories will become implicit memories.

D. testing in the same place you in which you studied will lead to improved performance.

E. the act of retrieving a piece of information will strengthen your memory for that information.

8.Which of the following claim(s) would be consistent with the levels of processing theory:

A. intentional learning is always better than incidental learning

B. deeper processing leads to stronger memories

C. the amount of rehearsal determines the strength of the memory

D. memory is best when the retrieval context closely matches the encoding context

E. All of the above are claims made by levels of processing theory

Answer 1

The "testing effect" refers to the phenomenon that: the act of retrieving a piece of information will strengthen your memory for that information because testing effect directly addresses how retrieval contributes to learning and memory. and  The effect is also sometimes referred to as retrieval practice

option b is correct deeper processing leads to stronger memories because this lead to better long-term memory than shallow processing as according to the argument of Craik and Lockhart and this increase the depth of processing that means this produce more elaborate, longer-lasting, and stronger memory traces than shallow levels of analysis.
