5.4 Applications of Memory Research

• What do applications of memory research aim to improve in real-world scenarios?

  Memory performance
• What is spaced repetition, and how does it improve memory?

  Studying in multiple sessions
• What is the cognitive interview technique used to improve eyewitness accuracy?

  Context reinstatement
• Spaced repetition improves long-term retention
• Memory research in clinical settings aims to improve patient care for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.


  True
• What is the purpose of mnemonics in education?

  Enhance memory and recall
• Incorporating cognitive enhancement techniques into study habits improves learning approaches.


  True
• Spaced repetition improves long-term retention
• Misinformation during storage can reduce the reliability of eyewitness testimony.


  True
• Match the memory research technique with its benefit:

  Mnemonics ↔️ Enhances encoding and recall

  Spaced repetition ↔️ Improves long-term retention

  Study strategies ↔️ Boosts recall and retention
• Mnemonics use visual imagery or acronyms to encode information in a more memorable way.

  True
• Match the stage of eyewitness testimony with its affecting factors:

  Encoding ↔️ Lighting, stress levels

  Storage ↔️ Passage of time, misinformation

  Retrieval ↔️ Suggestibility, questioning techniques
• What are cognitive enhancement techniques designed to improve?

  Memory and performance
• What is the purpose of a cognitive interview in improving eyewitness testimony?

  Enhance memory retrieval
• How does spaced repetition improve long-term retention in education and learning?

  Multiple sessions over time
• Studying information in multiple sessions over time is called spaced repetition
• Match the cognitive enhancement technique with its description:

  Mnemonics ↔️ Memory aids like acronyms or imagery

  Spaced repetition ↔️ Studying over multiple sessions

  Elaboration ↔️ Connecting new information to existing knowledge
• What is the primary goal of a cognitive interview in eyewitness testimony?

  Enhance memory retrieval
• What are two techniques used in cognitive rehabilitation for memory impairments?

  Spaced repetition and mnemonics
• Applications of memory research span fields such as education, law enforcement, and healthcare
• Stages of eyewitness testimony reliability affected by different factors

  1️⃣ Encoding

  2️⃣ Storage

  3️⃣ Retrieval
• A controlled lineup presents suspects simultaneously to reduce bias in eyewitness testimony.

  False
• Stages of eyewitness testimony reliability and their affecting factors

  1️⃣ Encoding

• Match the memory research application with its description:

  Mnemonics ↔️ Memory aids using acronyms or imagery

  Spaced Repetition ↔️ Studying information in multiple sessions
• What are some fields where memory research applications are used?

  Education, law enforcement, healthcare
• Eyewitness testimony reliability is affected by encoding, storage, and retrieval stages.


  True
• Cognitive rehabilitation techniques informed by memory research help individuals with memory impairments
• Encoding for secure storage, encryption for data protection, and controlled retrieval are key concepts for memory safety
