Frage Antworten
MSM STM: D-18-30s E-acoustic C-7+/-2 LTM: D-mins tolife E-semantic C-unlimited
STM-Duration-study peterson&peterson- nonsense trigrams counting back in 3s for: 3,6,9,12,15/18 seconds 90% at 3s 2% at 18s Memory fades at 18s
STM- Capacity Jacobs- Serial digit span starting at 3 digits increase until can't recall correct order found average remember 5-9 supports millers number
STM- Encoding Conrad- b,c,f,m,n,p,s,t,v,x each letter 0.75s recall 6 of them found mix up similar sounding encoded acoustically
LTM- Duration Bahrik- tested people of different ages on yearbook photos found after 48 years still 70% right
LTM- Capacity Linton- kept diary of 5,500 events for 6 years-tested each month on dates good recall Waagner- 2,400 events 6 years tested events each month
LTM- Encoding Baddely- given 1 of 4 lists acoustically/semanticly similar/disimilar 20 minutes to learn found they mix up semantic- suggests encoded that way
KEYWORDS: Memory, Storage, Retrieval Memory: Cognitive function of processing and maintaining sensory info over time Storage: Where&how info is stored to be recalled from when needed Retrieval: cognitive function of recalling information
WMM
Central executive Modality free attentional control system, limited capacity, processes sensory information to the two slave systems. Monitors& corrects mistakes-decision making
Phonological loop stores audio information articulatory process: Sub vocal repetition started by CE. Time based capacity Phonological store: Remembers heard words and how they sound
Visuo-spatial sketchpad Stores visual information Inner scribe: spatial relationships Visual cache: colour, size and shapes
Episodic buffer Added by Baddely in 2000 general store integrates information from CE, PL, VSS, LTM
Baddely et al: Phonological loop Monosyllabic/polysyllabic word list remembered short words easier- time based articulatory process Added articulatory supression task:repeating the the the forget both- can't rehearse
Baddely et al- VSS Used dual task technique- Tracked white light with finger and either: Marked angles of F or recite alphabet visual task harder because it's the same slave system so competes for attention
Bugne et al- CE fMRI scan showed same brain areas active during 2 tasks using both slave systems: shows processed through one component More activity in dual task: increased attentional demands
Separate slave systems: dual task technique 2 tasks CE-T/F reasoning task and: articulatory process repeat the the CE&AP- say random numbers/ no task Found AP and no task same speed CE&AP slower- uses the same component- competes for attention
STRENGTHS OF WMM +More comprehensive than MSM of the different stores and encoding of STM +supporting evidence for stores and functions of them
Limitations of WMM -No detail of how processed into or stored in LTM- not fully comprehensive -CE not fully explained smaller parts of it which do different tasks: reasoning/decision making
Factors affecting EWT Age, Misleading information& anxiety/psychological arousal
Misleading information LOFTUS AND PALMER 45 psychology students shown car crash asked to guess speed car goes when it hit/bumped/collided/smashed/contacted the car: hit: 34.0 smashed: 40.8
Misleading information: LOFTUS&ZANNI New participants, shown 1 minute car crash- asked if they saw any broken glass when hit/smashed/no verb YES: S-16 H-7 --6 NO: S-34 H-43 --44
Misleading information- LOFTUS Shown slides of a car overtaking another parked at a stop/yield sign asked questions with either same/different sign in then chose from slides which sign if same: 75% right sign if different: 41% right sign
AGE- Pozzulo&Lindsay Meta-analysis- <5 less accurate than older 5< as accurate as adults <13 more likely to choose if not there-more affected by social pressure
Own age bias Anastasi&Rhodes shown 24 photos from 3 age groups 18-25, 35-45, 55-78 filler activity then select from more younger generally more accurate but all as accurate for own age
Brewer et al 60 to 80 year olds more likely to choose in a line up
Bruck& Merlyk Children cognitively incompetent children believe own distortions after misleading information kids made false memories after warned-more suggestible 30% improved accuracy if draw before
Meta-analysis evaluation +strong evidence-overall patterns-more valid +More generalisable- more p'pants -Publication bias, only studies suit own hypothesis-less valid/representitive -Not given all data from studies so not fully comprehensive/ reliable
Anxiety- Unpleasant emotional state fearing something bad will happen often stressful situations- psychological arousal
Anxiety- Deffenbacher Meta-analysis- reviewed21 studies used 18 see effects of high levels of anxiety/PA HIGH STRESS LOW RECALL
Anxiety- Christianson& Hubinette Studied 58 real witnesses of real bank robberies. If threatened had better recall than witnesses who would be less emotionally aroused still more accurate after 18 months
weapon focus effect Loftus- P'pants heard discussion in another room condition 1: calm, pen&ink condition 2: heated. paperknife, blood F.1: 49% accurate 33% accurate from 50 photos
Cognitive interview- 4 principles Report Everything- tiny details act as retrieval cues Reinstate Context-recreate environment Reverse Order- may have forgotten bits Change perspective- asked how it may appear to other witnesses
Fisher et al real interviews by detectives in florida over 4 months. Found brief, closed q's, out of sync with witness's order not talk freely-broke concentration remembered less
STRENGTHS Geiselman- average no. correct statements 41.1 CI 29.4 SI Kohnken- meta-analysis 53 studies 34% more accurate in correct info- college,lab Milne&Bull- tested effectiveness of principles- all similar alone CR&RE higher recall than others
Weakness Kebbell&Wagstaff- CI problematic often more time to conduct than available. police try to limit to minimum info Memon- police need quality training for it to be effective- expensive
Standard vs cognitive Closed brief,lack detail/ open-detailed Out of sequence/witness talks freely Interruptions/no distraction concentrate ALSO use imagery, no judgmental comments, adapt language to individual
Verbal mnemonics Acronyms- 1st letters create word Acrostic- 1st letter sentance Rhymes- rhythm with words Make them more memorable
Visual mnemonics Loci- link words and images picture in familiar places Keyword method- remember words picture an image linking both Mind maps- Each topic more unique than mind maps visual cues
how mnemonics work Organisation- establish links helps recall association in the brain Elaborative rehearsal- elaborate on information, more enduring memory
Supporting evidence VERBAL-Gruneberg- 30% psych students for final exams Gidden- effective in kids w/ learning difficul VISUAL-o'hara- found loci has long-term memory benefits for adults
Limitation Mixed results in classrooms- useful for teaching vocab no evidence of helping students actually speak the language LAB EXPERIMENTS
