- Models of Memory
- Multi store memory model
- Atkinson and Shiffrin 1971
- memory consists of three
memory stores
- Sensory
store
- duration: few
seconds
- don't pay attenion to the
new info, will decay
- first store- info from
sensory input
- Short term
memory
- duration: max 30 secs
average 18 secs
- PETERSON AND PETERSON 1959
- presented trigrams through headphones
- distraction task- avoid rehearsal-
ensure testing STM
- count backwards from 100 in threes
- findings
- retention interval increased=
percentage correct decreased
- at 0 secs, correct was 90%
- at 18 secs, correct was 5%
- capacity: 7+-2 items
- JACOBS 1890
- investigated serial
digit span
- precisely presented
an item every half
second
- used letters and digits
- findings
- average digit span :
just over 9
- average span for
letters: just over 7
- attention moves
info to LTM
- stm is full, old info is
displaced or decay info
- encoding: info is stored acoustically,
works better with sound
- BADDELEY 1966
- 2 lists: acoustically similar and dissimilar
- Long term
memory
- duration: unlimited
at least 48 years
- BAHRICK ET AL
- recall of yearbook photos
- criticism: naturalistic test of memory
- criticism: lack of controls
- capacity: unlimited
- retrieval failure
- encoding: LTM predominantly
semantic encoding
- BADDELEY 1966
- 2 lists of words - semantically similar and dissimilar
- stimulus impinges on senses- info passes from stores
- criticisms
- Coding in STM is not always phonetic
- Working Memory Model
- Memory in everyday life
- Eye witness testimony
- Memory improvement
