- 1 b
- 2 c “Short-term memory and long-term memory can be thought of as memory structures, each varying as to how much information it can hold and for how long.” (paragraph 1)
- 3 b
- 4 a “Information that you do not selectively attend to will disappear from the system. However, if you recognize the information as meaningful or relevant, it is sent to short-term memory.”
- 5 d
- 6 b
- 7 a
- 8 b (“why” questions usually have the most general answer, and are about the structure of an essay)
- 9 c (Like in 4, if you decide that information is irrelevant, you won’t remember it.)
- 10 d
- 11 b “skill memory usually involves motor activities that you learn by repetition without consciously remembering specific information”
- 12 a (The first sentence in the paragraph is already about two types of information in long-term memory, so the topic sentence must to before that.)
- 13 short-term: B F H
- long-term: A D E I
- C - sensory register (neither short nor long-term memory)
- G - sensory organs/systems in the brain (visual cortex, for example)

- This coming week we will focus on the writing section of the TOEFL (especially the independent writing task). One of the important skills which we will not have time to work on in class is typing quickly in English.
