memory is called __________.

When you are asked to “clear your mind and think of nothing,†this tends to be a very difficult
feat to accomplish. Various images, thoughts, and “sounds†go flashing through your mind. The
harder you try to think of nothing, the harder it is to think of nothing. Based on your reading of
the chapter, why is “clear your mind†such a paradoxical instruction?
A. Because you are being given this instruction when you are surrounded by stimuli. Even if you
close your eyes, the incoming information is impossible to block out.
B. Because the electrical impulses of the brain make the concept of “thinking of nothing†an
impossibility.
C. Because your attention has been directed toward your own thoughts, which makes it difficult
not to think of anything.
D. Because the physiological processes involved in thinking of “nothing†can only function when
you are asleep or otherwise unconscious.
With regard to the three-stage model of memory suggested by Atkinson and Shiffrin, what has
recent research found?
A. There are, in fact, more than three types of memory storage.
B. The model is very accurate, as supported by the fact that people with sensory impairment
like blindness or deafness have memory systems that are far less reliable than those without
such deficits.
C. Encoding is a process whose importance was overestimated by Atkinson and Shiffrin, since
only information to which we consciously attend is actually encoded.
D. It is possible for information to make it into our long-term memory without going through
the first two stages of the model.
Mischa bought a new gate to install at the top of his stairs so that his young son couldn’t have an

distinction.
A. studying-doing
B. knowledge-use
C. theory-application
