Question

17 how are sensory memory and short - term memory alike? a. they both require effort and rehearsal. b. they both help you remember questions. c. they both get rid of unimportant information. d. they both handle a steady stream of information. 18 long - term memory is different from short - term memory in that f. it can remember factual information. g. it can hold a large amount of information. h. it can remember information without effort. i. it can hold questions without paying attention. 19 what effect does strong emotion have on long - term memory? a. it makes it easier to remember. b. it makes it easier to get distracted. c. it makes it harder to remember. d. it makes it harder to concentrate. 20 a teacher could best use the information in the article to f. help students learn useful memory tricks. g. show students the importance of studying. h. teach students how to look up information. i. advise students on helpful studying techniques. 21 how does the diagram help the reader understand the article? a. by showing that memory is a step - by - step process b. by illustrating where memories are stored in the brain c. by explaining how a person can improve ones memory d. by describing how new information is broken down into parts 22 what information about short - term memory can be found in both the article and the diagram? f. how long an item is held in short - term memory g. how to rehearse items to transfer them to long - term memory h. what can make us lose information stored in short - term memory i. why we ask others to repeat questions stored in short - term memory

Explanation:

1. Sensory memory and short - term memory process a continuous flow of information. Sensory memory briefly holds sensory input, and short - term memory temporarily stores and processes information. Option A is wrong as sensory memory doesn't require effort. Option B is too narrow. Option C is incorrect as it's not their main similarity.
2. Long - term memory can hold a vast amount of information compared to short - term memory's limited capacity. Factual information can be in short - term memory too. Remembering without effort is not exclusive to long - term memory. Holding questions without attention is not a key difference.
3. Strong emotions can enhance long - term memory encoding, making it easier to remember. Distraction and difficulty concentrating are not the main effects on long - term memory related to strong emotion.
4. Understanding memory types can help a teacher teach students memory tricks. Showing study importance, teaching to look up info, and advising study techniques are not as directly related to the memory info in the article.
5. A memory diagram often shows memory as a step - by - step process like encoding, storage, and retrieval. Storing in the brain is not the main focus usually. Improving memory and breaking down new info are not the main functions of a general memory diagram.
6. Both article and diagram likely show how long an item is held in short - term memory. Rehearsal, losing info, and asking for repetition may not be common to both.

1. D. They both handle a steady stream of information.
2. G. it can hold a large amount of information.
3. A. It makes it easier to remember.
4. F. help students learn useful memory tricks.
5. A. by showing that memory is a step - by - step process
6. F. how long an item is held in short - term memory
