Question: CHAPTER XXVI

ON THE TRAIL

It was a long, wet sail up the coast with the wind ahead, and Carroll was quite content when, on reaching Comox, Vane announced his intention of stopping there until the mail came in. Immediately after its arrival, Carroll went ashore, and came back empty-handed.

"Nothing," he reported. "Personally, I'm pleased. Nairn could have advised us here if there had been any striking developments since we left the last place."

"I wasn't expecting to hear from him," Vane replied tersely.

Carroll read keen disappointment in his face, and was not surprised, although the absence of any message meant that it was safe for them to go on with their project and that should have afforded his companion satisfaction. The latter sat on deck, gazing somewhat moodily across the ruffled water toward the snow-clad heights of the mainland range. They towered, dimly white and majestic, above a scarcely-trodden wilderness, and Carroll, at least, was not pleasantly impressed by the spectacle. Though not to be expected always, the cold snaps are now and then severe in those wilds. Indeed, at odd times a frost almost as rigorous as that of Alaska lays its icy grip upon the mountains and the usually damp forests at their feet.

"I wish I could have got a man to go with us, but between the coal development and the logging, everybody's busy," he remarked.

"It doesn't matter," Vane assured him. "If we took a man along and came back unsuccessful, there'd be a risk of his giving the thing away. Besides, he might make trouble in other respects. A hired packer would probably kick against what you and I may have to put up with." 1. Was there any mail at Comox?

Question: In psychology, memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Encoding allows information from the outside world to be sensed in the form of chemical and physical stimuli. In the first stage the information must be changed so that it may be put into the encoding process. Storage is the second memory stage or process. This entails that information is maintained over short periods of time. Finally the third process is the retrieval of information that has been stored. Such information must be located and returned to the consciousness. Some retrieval attempts may be effortless due to the type of information, and other attempts to remember stored information may be more demanding for various reasons.

Short-term memory is believed to rely mostly on an acoustic code for storing information, and to a lesser extent a visual code. Conrad (1964) found that test subjects had more difficulty recalling collections of letters that were acoustically similar (e.g. E, P, D). Confusion with recalling acoustically similar letters rather than visually similar letters implies that the letters were encoded acoustically. Conrad's (1964) study, however, deals with the encoding of written text; thus, while memory of written language may rely on acoustic components, generalisations to all forms of memory cannot be made. 1. How many codes does short term memory entail?
2. What are they?
3. Would the visual code be the most vital?
4. Who did a study to determine that?
5. Were people more likely to remember letters that sounded similar or different?
6. Was there as big a difference when reading letters?
7. What did his study show?
8. Can it be generalized to cover all types of memory?
9. Which kind can it be used for?
10. What year did he come to these conclusions?
11. Is encoding a part of the memory process?
12. How many other components are there?
13. What are those?
14. How many types of stimuli are involved?
15. Chemical is one, what is the other?
16. What needs to happen first to the information received?
17. What occurs next?
18. What would that be?
19. Which process would be last?
20. Where does information need to be taken back to in that step? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: John was excited for the treasure hunt. He called up his friends to help him find all of the items on the list. First he called Phil. Phil said he would come right over to help him find items. Next he called James. James said he could help, but had to finish breakfast first. Finally he called Pat and Paul. They were twins and were excited to join the treasure hunt. Finally, all his friends arrived. They were ready to look for the treasure hunt items. The items on the treasure hunt list were a cup, coin, apple, bell, mitten, and rock. The boys spread out in all directions, looking for the items. John found an item first. He found the rock. Phil found a coin on the sidewalk. He also found a mitten. James found an apple in the yard. Pat and Paul found a cup. All that was left to find was the bell. They looked and looked and finally, James found a bell beneath a bench. The boys were happy about finding all of the items. 1. Who had to finish breakfast?
2. Who was called before him?
3. Who was contacted last?
