Sensory memory has an unlimited capacity and duration and encoding depends on the sense organ involved
Who proposed the multi-store memory model?
Atkinson and Shiffrin
Glanzer and Cunitz
Peterson and Peterson
Ainsworth et al
What are the main stores of Sensory Memory
Haptic, Economic, Iconic
Visual, Acoustic, Semantic
Haptic, Echoic, Iconic
Haptic, Visual, Acoustic
How is information transferred from Sensory Memory to Short Term Memory
Semantic encoding
Acoustic Encoding
Pay attention to it
Rehearsal
Give an example of an experiment that supports sensory memory
Sperling 1967
Logie 1999
Sperling 1960
The results of the Sperling 1960 Sensory Memory experiment showed reults that when asked to recall one row that corresponded with a tone; their recall was better than when asked to recall the whole grid.
STM has a capacity of 7+/- 2 bits, a duration of 20 seconds and the encoding is mainly acoustic
Who propsed the magic number theory?
George Miller
Joseph Jacobs
Baddeley
Bange et al.
Peterson and Peterson carried out a study on the duration of STM
How is information trasferred from STM to LTM
Attention
Maintenance rehearsal
There are individual differences which can affect MSM.
Capacity is a meaure of how much can be held in memory
What part on the brain did HM have removed?
prefrontal lobe
hippocampus
temporal lobe
Who carried out an experiment on the duration of LTM?
Fred and Bart
Logie
Shepard
Semantic encoding is when you rehearse a piece of information many times.
Duration is the time it takes for a memory to move from SM to STM
What is the capacity, duration and encoding method for LTM?
Unlimited capacity, 100 year duration, mainly semantic
Unlimited capacity and duration, mainly semantic
Unlimited capacity and duration, mainly acoustic
Define encoding
The way information is changed so it can be stored in memory.
The input method for information
Transferring information between memory stores.
Who propsed the theory of 'chunking'?
Peterson et al
Bowlby et al
Glanzer and Cuntiz propsed the serial position effect.
How many words were participants asked to recall in Glanzer and Cunitz serial position effect experiment?
15
30
10
20
Primacy effect is the primary figure of attachment.
Describe a strength of MSM.
Strong evidence in experiments and case studies to supports 3 qualitative stores.
There was no experiements that opposed MSM.
The case study of HM suggests memories must pass through the hippocampus before entering LTM.
MSM is completely valid.
The recency effect is when words at the end of a list are still in STM when participants are asked to recall them.
