Encoding Processes
Psychology ⇒ Learning and Memory
Encoding Processes starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Encoding Processes.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how mnemonics can aid in encoding information.
Describe one way in which context can affect encoding.
Describe the difference between shallow and deep processing in encoding.
Describe the impact of emotional arousal on encoding.
Describe the role of attention in the encoding process.
Explain how chunking can improve encoding.
A student is trying to remember a list of grocery items by creating a story that links them together. Which encoding strategy is the student using? (1) Chunking (2) Mnemonics (3) Maintenance rehearsal (4) Structural encoding
A student studies for a test by reading notes aloud and making up examples for each concept. Which encoding strategies is the student using? (1) Acoustic and semantic encoding (2) Visual and structural encoding (3) Maintenance rehearsal and chunking (4) Automatic and shallow encoding

Which of the following best describes the 'levels of processing' theory? (1) Memory is stored in different brain regions (2) The depth at which information is processed affects how well it is remembered (3) Memory is only based on repetition (4) Memory is only visual
Which of the following best describes the role of schemas in encoding? (1) Schemas interfere with encoding (2) Schemas help organize and interpret information during encoding (3) Schemas only affect retrieval (4) Schemas are unrelated to memory
Fill in the blank: Encoding information by organizing it into categories is called __________ encoding.
Fill in the blank: Encoding that involves focusing on the physical structure of information, such as the shape of letters, is called __________ encoding.
Fill in the blank: Encoding that involves relating new information to information already stored in memory is called __________ rehearsal.
Fill in the blank: The process of encoding information based on the sound of words is called __________ encoding.
True or False: All information that is encoded is automatically stored in long-term memory.
True or False: Divided attention during encoding usually leads to better memory retention.
True or False: Encoding failure is a common reason for forgetting information.
True or False: Encoding is the first step in the memory process, followed by storage and retrieval.
