When conducting a Source Analysis consider the following:

- Context what was happening at the time the source was created?
- Author who created this source and is this information important?
- Bias is this source biased?
- Message/Content what is the source trying to convey?
- Audience who is this source intended for and how can you tell?
- Purpose what is the author hoping that the audience will think, feel, or do?
- Significance/Accuracy is this source important and accurate?

MEMORY QUICK QUIZ - ANSWERS
Respond true or false for each of the following statements and provide a
brief rationale for your response.
1. The three key processes in the information processing model are: encoding, storage, and
recovery.
False. The three key processes are encoding, storage, and retrieval. This is because
information has to be located and retrieved from long-term memory.

2. The three distinct levels of memory according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin Model of Memory are;
sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
True. The three distinct levels are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term
memory.

3. Our echoic memory does not last as long as our iconic memory.
False. Echoic memory lasts for 3-4 seconds while iconic memory lasts for 0.1-0.2 seconds.

4. Sensory memory has a limited capacity.
False. Sensory memory has an unlimited capacity, but we must pay attention to information
for it to be transferred to short-term memory.

5. Short-term memory is the memory system where interpreting and analysing information
occurs.
True. In short-term memory, information is worked on.

6. Chunking allows us to retain information for longer periods of time in short-term memory.
False. Chunking allows for larger units of information to be retained, not information for
longer periods of time.

7. Maintenance rehearsal involves organising and dealing with information in terms of its
meaning.
False. Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating information over and over again. It is
elaborative rehearsal that organises information in terms of its meaning.

8. The recency effect suggests there will be superior recall of items at the beginning of a list.
False. The primacy effect suggests that there will be superior recall of items at the beginning
of the list, whereas the recency effect suggests that there will be superior recall of items at
the end of the list.
