When this short amount oftime elapses however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information getthere in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does sovia the sensory storage area. The brain has filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediateinterest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The mostaccepted theory comes from George A. Miller, cognitive psychologist who suggested thathumans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. chunk is defined as ameaningful unit of information, such as word or name rather than just letter or number.Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory bychunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can optimizethe STM, and improve the chances of memory being passed on to long term storage.When making conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, manypeople engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is able tokeep memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there areno interruptions. As soon as person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency todisappear. When pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember phonenumber by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before personhas the opportunity to make phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly. Therefore,rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long termmemory. better way is to practice " elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semanticmeaning to piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long termmemories.Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can bedone by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in thelong term memory and used often; however, if memory seems to be forgotten, it mayeventually be retrieved by promptin The more cues person is given (such as pictures), themore likely memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used forsubjects that require lot of memorization.Question 51 According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?A. They revert from the long term memory.B. They are filtered from the sensory storage area.C. They get chunked when they enter the brain.D. They enter via the nervous system.Question 52 The word elapses in paragraph is closest in meaning to:A. passes B. adds up C. appears D. continuesQuestion 53 All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the:A. STM B. long term memory C. sensory storage area D. maintenance areaDoc24.vnQuestion 54 Why does the author mention dog's bark?A. To give an example of type of memoryB. To provide type of interruptionC. To prove that dogs have better memories than humansD. To compare another sound that is loud like doorbellQuestion 55 How do theorists believe person can remember more information in short time?A. By organizing it B. By repeating itC. By giving it name D. By drawing itQuestion 56 The author believes that rote rotation is:A. the best way to remember something B. more efficient than chunkingC. ineffective in the long run D. an unnecessary interruptionQuestion 57 The word elaborate in paragraph is closest in meaning to:A. complex B. efficient C. pretty D. regularQuestion 58 Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?A. The working memory is the same as the short term memory.B. memory is kept alive through constant repetition.C. Cues help people to recognize information.D.

It's easier to remember short term memories than long term memories due to regular prompts.D. Recalling long term memory that is often used is easy, while forgotten memories often require prompting.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70. The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in theAmerican colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers.Although they rarely undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books ascheaply as they could be imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work thatrequired only small amounts of capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published withminimal financial risk. Consisting of only one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type,broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works. Furthermore, the broadsideformat lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale.Doc24.vnIf the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced sheet that did not sell, it was notlikely to be major loss, and the printer would know this immediately, There would be noagonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, andcreditors impatient for payment. In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts,catechisms primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy. Chapbookwere pamphlet-sized books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, andjokes, small, both in formal and number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (aform of cardboard) or merely stitched in paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-daypaperbacks).

By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that hadproven to be steady sellers providing reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher.They would not, by nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove offleeting interest.
