Frage Antworten
Describe primary memory portion of present space of time linked to conscious experience retrieval is effortless
Describe secondary memory genuine past unconscious - permanent Retrieval is effortful
Describe Atkinson and Shriffin's 1968 Modal model of memory
What is sensory memory? sensations that persist after the stimulus has disappeared
How long do sensory memories last? very rapid decay
What do we call visual sensory memories? iconic
What do we call auditory sensory memories? echoic
What name was given to experiments about capacity of sensory memory? Sperling's experiments
Describe Sperling's experiments matrix of letters shown for 1/20th second subjects asked to recall as many letters as possible
How many letters did subjects recall in Sperling's experiment? 5-6
How did Sperling know that subjects didn't only recall 5-6 letters because they didn't have time to view them all? sounded a tone immediately after letters disappeared which indicated which row of letters to report. Recall was almost perfect
How long does memory for images last? (sensory) 1/3 second
Describe Baddeley's 1986 experiment Subjects asked to remember a string of digits whilst performing logic tasks
What did Baddeley's 1986 experiments show? reasoning time increased with digit load BUT not by much error rate did not increase
What three parts did Baddeley and Hitch propose make up working memory? central executive visuo-spatial sketch pad phonological store
What was the effect of phonological similarity of words when asked to recall? phonological similarity massively DECREASED recall no effect of semantic similarity
What is the effect of word length on recall? (refer to syllables and reading speed) correct recall related to number of syllables strong correlation between reading speed and correct recall correct recall also related to words that are quick to say
Give some evidence that the phonological store is separate from other stores Several patients have reduced verbal spans perform normally on other verbal tasks intact word perception no problem with speech production
Where are lesions in short term memory patients? left hemisphere parietal and temporal lobes
How are the contents of the phonological store refreshed? auditory loop
What is the effect of disruption on the auditory loop? poor retention in phonological store
What is the visuospatial sketchpad divided into? visual cache (form and colour) innerscribe (spatial and movement information and can rehearse the contents of the visual cache)
Describe evidence for visuospatial sketchpad viewing abstract pictures interfered with visual task tracing the outline of pegs on a board interfered with spatial task
What are the effects of exposure on encoding? Not enough by itself (e.g. which way does the queen face on a stamp)
Describe the 3 types of processing and how they relate to the level of processing and retention processing-->level-->retention orthographic-->shallow-->poor phonological-->middle-->middle semantic-->deep-->good
Is it better to study then test or study then study more? study then test
What is transfer appropriate processing? processing is goal directed retrieval is better if uses the same type of processing as encoding
What do we mean by state depended memory Recall is better if tested in an environment similar to the one where encoding occurred
Is retrieval better if using your own cues or someone elses? your own
