16. Implicit memory is usually measured through recall tasks. 17. The ability to retrieve and reproduce from memory previously encountered material is called recognition. 18. Recognition is the ability to identify previously encountered information. 19. Under most circumstances recognition is easier than recall. 20. A fill-in-the-blank quiz of psychology terms would test for recognition of the terms. 21. Trivial Pursuit a popular board game that tests a player’s skills in retrieving and reproducing popular culture and general knowledge requires the recall of explicit memories. 22. This true-false question requires recognition. 23. Priming is a method for measuring explicit memory. 24. When the priming method is used for measuring implicit memory a person typically reads or listens to information and is later tested to see whether the information affects performance on the same or another type of task. 25. The relearning method devised by Hermann Ebbinghaus over a century ago assesses whether or not you learn material more quickly the second time you learn it. 26. In the three-box model of memory short-term memory holds a limited amount of information. 27. The parallel distributed processing (PDP) model of memory represents the contents of memory as connections among a huge number of interacting processing units distributed in a vast network and all operating in parallel. 28. Auditory images are held in the sensory register for one-quarter to one-half second. 29. In the three-box model all incoming information from the outside world must make a brief stop in the sensory register. 30. The sensory register is made up of many separate subsystems one for each sense.
