Psy Cognitive LT1 - MSM Description
Karten in diesem Stapel (32)
- 1What are the 3 stores of MSM?Sensory register (SR), short term memory (STM), long term memory (LTM)
- 2Movement through stores is _______Linear
- 3Moved through various conscious cognitive processes e.g:Attention, rehearsal, retrieval
- 4Distinctions among 3 stores made on basis of 3 characteristics:Capacity, duration, encoding
- 5Define capacitySize/amount of information that can be stored
- 6Define durationHow long information remains in the memory
- 7Define encodingHow information & memories are registered/laid down as a physical trace in the brain e.g. sound or smell
- 8How does information come into the brain?Information automatically comes into the brain through the senses
- 9What format is information in the SR encoded in?In the same format as it is received (e.g. what is seen is stored as an image)
- 10What is the storage duration of the SR?Less than half a second (varies by sensory store)
- 11What is the storage capacity of the SR?High in each of the sensory registers (a lot of information arrives at the sensory registers)
- 12____ (1) information goes into the SR but only information that is __________ __ (2) is transferred to the ___ (3)(1) All
(2) Attended to
(3) STM - 13What happens to information in the SR that is not attended to?It decays (and therefore is forgotten)
- 14Define forgettingThe inability to retrieve information from memory stores
- 15Define retrievalThe process of recalling memories when needed
- 16Retrieval in the SR is based on _______Readout (explanation: we can only read back/recall what is received at that moment in time)
- 17What is the storage capacity of the STM?5-9 (7 +/- 2)
- 18What is the storage duration of the STM?15-30 seconds
- 19The STM encodes information largely in ________ formAuditory
- 20If information in the STM is not _________ it is lostRehearsed
- 21Forgetting occurs due to _____ or _____________Decay or displacement
- 22Information that is rehearsed (which is done in ________ (1) form) remains in the STM long enough to be: (2)(1) Acoustic
(2) Transferred to the LTM - 23Retrieval is _________ (1) and based on the __________ _________ (2) of stored information in our _____________ (3)(1) Automatic
(2) Sequential searching
(3) Consciousness - 24What is the storage capacity of the LTM?Infinite
- 25What is the storage duration of the LTM?Infinite
- 26Forgetting information from the LTM may occur due to _____ and ____________Decay and interference
- 27Information is encoded largely ____________ (1) but can also be ____________ or ________ (2) stored(1) Semantically
(2) Acoustically or visually - 28Information is stored in the order in which it has been ______ (1) mostly through __________ and ____________ (2)(1) Learnt
(2) Repetition and organisation - 29Retrieval needs _________ ____ (1) e.g. ___________ (2) and is based on ________ ______ (3)(1) Retrieval cues
(2) Association
(3) Semantic search - 30Where is information from the LTM transferred to when retrieved?STM
- 31Rehearsal keeps information in the ___ (1) and transfers information to the ___ (2)(1) STM
(2) LTM - 32Atkinson & Shiffrin suggested a more durable memory trace can be achieved by:Using a mental operation, such as a mnemonic, to increase the strength of transfer (mnemonic - a system such as a pattern of letters, ideas, or associations which assists in remembering something)
