1. In your own words, describe the traditional model of memory. What are the primary properties of each part of this model?

2. How can the Levels of Processing framework be used to explain why cued recall is better than free recall on memory tests?

3. How does rehearsal fit into the levels of processing framework?

4. Compare and contrast dual-code theory with the propositional hypothesis. Speculate as to whether information is stored in a dual-code fashion or a propositional fashion. Justify your answer.

5. Where do schemas fit into dual-code theory? What about in the propositional hypothesis?

6. Accept as a given the idea of LTM as divided into declarative, episodic, and procedural components. Into which of these components would you place the following structures: schema, script, semantic network, automatic processes, flashbulb memories. Why did you place the structures where you did? Describe how you think structures in the same subsystem would interact.

7. Do the "mental shortcuts" and heuristics that Sternberg discusses in Chapter 7 lead you to believe that we store mental maps in terms of a pictoral code a la dual code theory, or that we store them in a propositional format?
