32、s: short-term and long term Short-term memory reflects an immediate sensory perception of an object or idea that occurs before the image is stored Short-term memory enables you to dial a telephone number after looking it up but without looking at the number directly If you call the number frequently

33、, it becomes stored in long-term memory and can be recalled several weeks after you originally looked it up Short-term memory and long-term memory can be thought of as memory structures, each varying as to how much information it can hold and for how long 2 Memory relies on the ability to process in

34、formation Information processing begins with the environmental stimuli that you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel These experiences are initially recorded in the brains sensory register, which holds information just long enough (one to three seconds) for you to decide whether to process it further I

35、nformation that you do not selectively attend to will disappear from the system However, if you recognize and attend to the information as meaningful or relevant, it is sent to short-term memory Short- term memory can hold approximately seven unrelated bits of information at a time 3 Short-term memo

36、ry is often called working memory because it holds information that you are working with at a given moment, but only for about 20 seconds Then, unless the information is processed further, it is quickly forgotten For example, if you were asked to dial an unfamiliar telephone number, received a busy

37、signal, and were then distracted by something else for 20 seconds, you probably would have forgotten the number at that point Unless information in short-term memory is processed further, it does not make it to long- term memory 4 Several control processes enable the transfer of information from sho

38、rt-term to long-term memory One such process is rehearsal, or “practice makes perfect.“ Rehearsal is when you repeat something to yourself over and over The purpose behind such behavior is usually to memorize information for later use, although sometimes it is simply to hold information in short-ter

39、m memory for immediate use For example, you may rehearse a telephone number by saying it aloud so you can redial it after getting a busy signal without having to look it up again in the phone book Another process that enables the transfer of information to long-term memory is the association of new

40、data with data previously learned and stored in long-term memory Thus, it is easier to learn a new card game if you already have “card sense“ from playing other games 5 For cognitive psychologists, long-term memory is the most interesting of the memory structures, and most believe that the storage c

41、apacity of long-term memory is unlimited and contains a permanent record of everything you have learned Long-term memory plays an influential role throughout the information processing system The interests, attitudes, skills, and knowledge of the world existing in your long-term memory influence wha

42、t you perceive and how you interpret your perceptions They also affect whether you process information for short-term or long-term storage 6 Long-term memory can hold recollections of personal experiences as well as factual knowledge acquired through other means such as reading It also holds skills

43、such as knowing how to ride a bicycle In its ability to learn and remember, the brain can distinguish between facts and skills When you acquire factual knowledge by memorizing dates, word definitions, formulas, and other information, you can consciously retrieve this fact memory from the data bank o

44、f your long-term memory In contrast, skill memory usually involves motor activities that you learn by repetition without consciously remembering specific information You perform learned motor skills, such as walking or riding a bicycle, without consciously recalling the individual steps required to

45、do these tasks. 35 According to the passage, what must happen before information can be stored in memory? （ A） The information must be pleasant. （ B） An object or idea must be perceived. （ C） An older memory must be replaced. （ D） The information must be looked up. 36 The passage states that one dif

46、ference between short-term memory and long-term memory is （ A） the type of information they store （ B） their importance in learning （ C） the amount of information they hold （ D） their location in the brain 37 The phrase attend to in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to （ A） reject （ B） focus on （ C）

47、 talk about （ D） wait for 38 It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that something is NOT likely to be remembered if it is （ A） not considered important （ B） painful or embarrassing （ C） related to previous experience （ D） sent to short-term memory 39 The passage states that information can be lost fro

48、m short-term memory when a person （ A） does not know how to read （ B） repeats the information over and over （ C） processes the information further （ D） is distracted for 20 seconds 40 The phrase make it to in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to （ A） disappear from （ B） arrive at （ C） respond to （ D

49、） seem like 41 Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 4? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. （ A） Usually information is rehearsed so it can be used later, but sometimes it is rehearsed so it can be used right away. （ B） There are several reasons for memorizing information; the most common reason is to improve short-term memory. （ C） The belief that “practice makes perfect“ causes people to repeat cert
