2. Working Memory
Karten in diesem Stapel (31)
- 1Define short-term memoryWhat we have just perceived and attended to
- 2Where does information enter the short-term memory fromSensory memory
Long-term memory - 3What in the short-term memory can we measureCapacity
Duration
Retention - 4How can we measure the short term memoryImmediate recall tasks
- 5What is the maximum number of items retrievable from the short-term memory7 +/- 2
- 6What is a way to improve the capacity of the short-term memoryChunking
- 7What do short-term memory studies with verbal material's show improves immediate memoryRehearsal
Grouping - 8Explain serial recall studiesRecall of a previous list of items in order of presentation
- 9Manipulating factors in serial recall studiesTime interval
Secondary task (to prevent rehearsal)
Dual-task paradigm - 10Explain what the Brown-Peterson task has foundBoth a secondary task and temporal delay impair immediate memory
- 11Explain Pro-active inhibitionPrevious items can interfere with recall of current items if they are related in some way
- 12Explain free recall studiesRecall as many items as you can
- 13What are the two aspects of the serial position curveRecency effect and Primary effect
- 14Explain the recency effectThere is better recall of the most recent items showed
- 15Why might the recency effect disappearIf there is a temporal delay between study and test
- 16Explain the primary effectThere is better recall of the first items
- 17What is the function of the working memoryStores information temporarily for current tasks
- 18Who proposed the Working memory modelBaddeley & Hitch 1974
- 19Explain the first model of the working memory proposed in 1974The central executive controls the Visuospatial sketchpad and the Phonological loop
- 20What sorts of information does the visuospatial sketchpad holdNon-verbal
Spatial - 21What sorts of information does the Phonological loop holdVerbal
- 22Define the central executiveA limited-capacity attentional system
- 23What are the three types of evidence we have into the Phonological loop1. Phonological similarity
2. Irrelevant speech
3. Word length effect - 24What do studies into phonological similarities showPhonological similarity impairs recall
- 25What do studies into irerlevant speech in the background showIrrelevant speech disrupts recall however irrelevant sounds do not
- 26Why may irrelevant speech disrupt with recallIt can interfere with the phonological store & sub-vocal rehearsal
- 27How does word length effect recallshort words are remembered more easily
- 28Why can people recall more words when they are shorterSub-vocal rehearsal
when the words are shorter you can rehearse more in the given time - 29What is the visuo-spatial sketchpad's purposeto process visual & spatial information
- 30What test can you use to measure the Visuo-spatial sketchpad's memory spanCorsi block-tapping test
- 31What do we know about the working memory and intelligencePatients with dys-executive syndrome following frontal brain damage often have poor working memory and IQ
