Trang 2Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty Seconds When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short-term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area The brain has a filter that only allows stimuli that are of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory
There is much debate about capacity and duration of short-term memory The most accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number Modem theorists that one can increase the capacity of the short-term memory and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long-term storage
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in “rote rehearsal” By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy People often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal
is not an efficient way to pass information from short-term to long-term memory A better way is to
practice “elaborate rehearsal” This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so
that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long-term memories
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving information can be done
by recognition or recall Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long-term memory
and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by
prompting The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple-choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization
