1. Memory FRQ’s ALONE Without the Background

2. (Spiral) FRQ on Memory #1 Mrs. Haltli memorizes the license plate of her car during a family vacation, because she knows that the clerk at the hotel will ask for it at the reception desk. Explain the roles of the following memory concepts in her task using Atkinson and Shiffrin’s modified three-stage processing model of memory (Myers, 327). Sensory Memory Attention Encoding Working/short-term memory Long-term memory Retrieval (The purpose of FRQ #1 is to summarize the STAGES of the entire MEMORY PROCESS including encoding, storage, and retrieval).

3. (Spiral) FRQ on Memory #2 Mrs. Haltli is trying to memorize the names of all ten of her future-husband’s siblings in order to impress him while they are dating. What role will automatic processing have in this task (Myers, 327)? What role will effortful processing have in this task (Myers, 328)? As part of your answer, be sure to comment on – Rehearsal – Spacing effect – Serial position effect Additionally, how can each of the following levels of processing aid her in her task, and how effective is each in memory encoding (Myers, 331)? – Visual encoding – Acoustic/phonemic encoding – Semantic encoding (The purpose of FRQ #2 is to study LEVELS OF ENCODING/PROCESSING and their effectiveness)

4. (Spiral) FRQ on Memory #3 Mrs. Haltli wants to memorize all of the lyrics for The Lord of the Rings soundtrack, including the two dialects of Elvish. Explain how the following encoding strategies could benefit her in completing this task (Myers, 332).
