Karten in diesem Stapel (134)

  1. 1Who developed the Multi-Store Model?Atkinson and Shiffrin
  2. 2What is the MSM?-describes how info flows through the memory system
    -3 stores linked by processing
  3. 3Sensory Register?-takes in stimuli from environment
    DURATION: less than 1/2 a sec
    CAPACITY: very large
    CODING: modality specific -> ioconic and echonic
  4. 4How does info transfer from SR to STM?-must PAY ATTENTION to it
  5. 5STM?-maintenance rehersal to ourselves to keep info in STM
    DURATION: 18-30s with rehearsal
    CAPACITY: 7 +/- 2
    CODING: acoustically
  6. 6How transferred from STM to LTM?if rehearse long enough is transferred
  7. 7LTM?when recall, must be transferred to STM again 1st
    DURATION: a lifetime
    CAPACITY: unlimited
    CODING: semantically
  8. 8Draw diagram of MSMDraw diagram of MSM
  9. 9Evaluation: BADDELEY research showed STM and LTM are seperate- found mix up acoustically similar words when using STM but semantically similar words when using LTM
    -code differently
    -two stores are separate and inderpendant
  10. 10Evaluation: CRAIK an WATKINS found more than one type of rehearsal-maintenance rehearsal (one described in MSM) does not transfer to LTM
    -Elaborative Rehearsal -> needed for LT storage -> link to existing knowledge
    -another research finding that cannot be explained by the model
  11. 11Evaluation: research uses artificial techniques*Baddeley's word lists or Peterson's and Peterson's nonsense syllables
    -lack real meaning unlike memories in real life
    -lack ecological validity
  12. 12Evaluation: HM-had hippocampus removed is surgery to relieve symptoms of epilepsy (plays crucial part in memory)
    -LTM never improved but STM undamaged and perform well in immediate span digit tests
    -separate store
  13. 13Evaluation: Oversimplifies LTM-evidence not just 1 store
    -does not include different types: semantic, procedural and episodic
    -not a complete explanation of memory
  14. 14What are the 3 types of LTM?-semantic
    -episodic
    -procedural
  15. 15Episodic Memories?-ability to recall events
    -like a diary
    -time stamped
    -conscious effort to recall
  16. 16Semantic Memories?-knowledge of the world -> facts
    -like a dictionary
    -not time stamped
    -less personal
  17. 17Procedural Memories?-actions/skills
    -recall without conscious awareness
    *how to ride a bike
  18. 18Evaluation: Clive wearing-procedural and semantic memories still in tack (*could play piano and know who the queen was)
    -BUT episodic damaged
    -shows separate stores
  19. 19Evaluation: TULVING ET AL bran scans-Ps carried out various memory tasks whilst having PET scans
    - episodic used the right side and semantic used the left side of the prefrontal cortex
    -separate store
    -confirmed by other studies => good validity
  20. 20Evaluation: BELLVILLE ET AL showed real-life application-trained OAPs with mild cognitive impairments
    -found improved episodic memories (compared to control)
    -enables specific treatments to be developed
  21. 21Evaluation: COHEN + SQUIRE suggested may only be 2 types of LTM-semantic and episodic stored together in declarative memory (have to be consciously recalled)
    -procedural stored in non-declarative memory
    -important to get right as way we define types of LTM influences how we study
  22. 22What is the Working Memory Model?-explanation of STM and how it functions
    -more active model than MSM
  23. 23Central Executive?-attentional process that monitors oncoming info
    -allocates tasks to other 'slave' systems
    -very limited capacity
  24. 24Phonological Loop?-deals with auditory info
    -preserves order info arrives in
    -subdivided into Phonological Store and Articulatory Process
  25. 25Phonological Store?-stores words you hear
    -inner-ear
  26. 26Articulatory Process?-Stores words you say -> maintenance rehearsal
    -inner-voice
  27. 27Visuo-Spacial Sketchpad?-store visual and spacial info
    -limited capacity of 3-4 items
    -LOGIE subdivided into Visual Cache (visual info) and Inner-Scribe (spacial info)
  28. 28Episodic Buffer?- temporary store
    -integrates all other info from other stores
    -maintains a sense of time-sequencing -> records episodic events
    -limited capacity of 4
    -linked to LTM
  29. 29Diagram of WMMDiagram of WMM
  30. 30Evaluation: BADDELEY ET AL dual task performance of VSS-tested driving ability when listening to music or a football game
    -found Ps higher levels of impaired driving when listened to a football game
    -football game and driving both used spacial (VVS) so interfered with each other and music used auditory (PL)
    -shows separate store
  31. 31Evaluation: Lack of clarity for CE-cognitive psychologists suggest doesn't really explain anything
    -should be more clearly clarified than just attention -> some claim more than one store
    -WMM hasn't been fully explained
  32. 32Evaluation: KF supports separate store of STM-brain damage meant has poor STM ability for verbal info but could still process visual info (difficulty with sounds but could recall letters)
    -PL had been damaged but VSS in tact
    -=> separate stores
  33. 33Evaluation: BADDELEY ET AL word length effect-people have more difficulty remembering list of long words than of short words
    -due to limited space in articulatory process (2s)
    - effect disappears if given a repetitive task tying up the articulatory process -> demonstrating process
  34. 34Evaluation: BRAVER ET AL bran scans-Ps did tasks involving CE whilst having a brain scan
    -activity in prefrontal cortex
    -activity increased as tasks became harder
    -proves that CE may have a physical reality in the brain
  35. 35What is Interference?-2 pieces of info conflict
    -memories are availble but we can't access them
  36. 36Proactive Interfernce?- older memory disrupts a newer one
  37. 37Retroactive Interference?-a newer memory disrupts an older one
  38. 38Interference is worse when?-info learnt is more similar
    -info is learnt over a shorter time period
  39. 39Study for Interfernce Theory?MCGEOCH + MCDONALD
    -investigated effects of similarity on interference
  40. 40What were Ps given to learn?-given a word list to learn to 100% accuracy -then given a second word list to learn
  41. 41Conditions for 2nd Word List?-similar meanings to 1st list
    -opposite meanings to 1st list
    -unrelated to 1st list
    -nonsense syllables
    -three-digit numbers
    -control (no new list)
  42. 42What did MCGEOCH + MCDONALD find?-similar meaning = worst recall
    -greater difference in material = greater mean number of items recalled
  43. 43What does MCGEOCH'S + MCDONALDS' study show?interference is strongest when memories are similar
  44. 44Evaluation: lab studies consistanly show interference in memory-man lab studies (*McGeoch and McDonald's study) into interference
    -most show both types are a very likely cause of forgetting from LTM
    -control extraneous variables => interference valid explanation
  45. 45Evaluation: stimulus used in studies = artificial-often use word lists
    -different from memories we make everyday
    *faces, birthdays, favorite pizza
    -makes interference must more likely in lab than everyday life
    -lacks ecological validity
  46. 46Evaluation: BADDELEY + HITCH rugby players-got rugby players to recall names of teams had played in the season
    -more accurate the less games they had played
    -more games = more interferene
    -applied to everyday situations = Ecological Validity inreased
  47. 47Evaluation: Time allowed between learning and recalling is too short- in lab studies
    -does not reflect how learn and remember info in everyday life
    -may not be able to generalise conclusions outside of the lab
    -role of interference exaggerated
  48. 48Evaluation: TULVING + PSOTKA -> interference may be overcome using cues-gave Ps 5 lists of 24 words organised into 6 categories (were not explicit but assumed obvious)
    -recall was 70% for first list but fell as each additional list was added (more interference)
  49. 49What is Retrieval Failure caused by?-when info initially encoded, associated cues stores a same time
    -lack of cues at recall may mean not able to access memories
  50. 50State-dependent Forgetting?memory retrieval is dependent on internal cues
    *mood
  51. 51Context-Dependent Forgetting?memory retrieval is dependant on external cues from environment
    *weather
  52. 52TULVING: Encoding Specificity Principle?- cues help recall when present at encoding
    -does not have to be original but the closer to the original = better the cue works
  53. 53ABERNATHY'S CLASSROOMS: aiminvestigate effect of context cues
  54. 54ABERNATHY'S CLASSROOMS: conditions-own room + teacher
    -own room, different teacher
    -own teacher, different room
    -different room + teacher
  55. 55ABERNATHY'S CLASSROOMS: foundmost accurate recall in children who were tested in same room and with the same teacher
  56. 56ABERNATHY'S CLASSROOMS: shows-students forgot more with less cues -> context-dependent forgetting
    -less effect on 'superior' students
  57. 57GOODWIN ET ALS' DRUNKS: aim-investigate effect of state cues on recall accuracy
  58. 58GOODWIN ET ALS' DRUNKS: conditionshad to learn word lists when:
    -sober at learning and recall
    -drunk t learning and recall
    -sober at learning, drunk at recall
    -drunk at learning sober at recall
  59. 59GOODWIN ET ALS' DRUNKS: Foundbest = sober at learning + recall
    worst = drunk at learning sober at recall
  60. 60GOODWIN ET ALS' DRUNKS: Shows-effect of state-dependent forgetting
  61. 61Evaluation: Real Life Application-improve memory for students *revising in room taking the exam
    -lead to development of recall everything to trigger cues in cognitive interview -> improve accuracy of EWT
  62. 62Evaluation: No way to test if cue had been encoded or not-make ASSUMPTIONS: *if cue worked then was encoded at learning
    -not scientific
    -cannot be empirically tested
  63. 63Evaluation: ABERNATHY-(see other cards) showed context cues improved accuracy of recall
  64. 64Evaluation: GOODWIN ET AL-(see other cards)proved presence of state cues improves accuracy of recall
  65. 65Evaluation: BADDELEY argued may not be appliable to real life-different contexts have to be very different for an effect to be seen (*land VS underwater)
    -learning in a room less likely to forget as environments not different enough
    -ecological validity of context-dependent forgetting is low
  66. 66Who investigated the duration of LTM?BAHRICK
  67. 67BAHRICK: How many, between what ages and where Ps from?-326
    -17-74yrs
    -America
  68. 68BAHRICK: Did-tested recall of faces from 50 photos in Ps year book
    -also did a free recall: asked how many names could remember from graduating class
  69. 69BAHRICK: Found-face recognition after 48yrs = 70%
    -free recall after 48ys = 30%
  70. 70BAHRICK: Shows-LTM can last a lifetime but may need the help of cues to access them
  71. 71Evaluation BAHRICK: high ecological validity-real life memories
    -not meaningless unlike lab studies, which had lower recall rates
  72. 72Evaluation BAHRICK: lack of control of confounding variables-rehearsal may explain results
    -may looked at yearbook regularly
    -lack of control over extraneous variable
    => internal validity down
  73. 73Who investigated coding in ST and LT memory?BADDELEY
  74. 74BADDELEY: Did4 conditions of word pools to test Ps on:
    -acoustically similar
    -acoustically dissimilar
    -semantically similar
    -semantically dissimilar
    asked to recall in correct order immediately (ST) or after 20 mins (LT)
  75. 75BADDELEY: Found-immediate recall = mixed acoustically similar words
    -after 20 mins = mixed up semantically similar words
  76. 76BADDELEY: Shows-STM codes acoustically
    -LTM codes semantically
  77. 77Evaluations BADDELEY: artificial stimuli-word lists have no personal meaning -> if did, may have encoded information semantically
    -> hard to generalise to different kinds of memory tasks
    -low external validity
  78. 78Evaluation BADDELEY: lab study so had a standardised procedure*all received same word lists to remember
    -control extraneous variables
    -increases internal validity
  79. 79Who investigated the capacity of STM?MILLER
  80. 80MILLER: Did-reviewed studies on amount of info we receive, process and remember in immediate memory
    -made observations of everyday practices (*7 days a week)
    -suggests capacity of memory = 7 +/- 2
    -can be increased through chunking
  81. 81Chunking?-grouping data into meaningful chunks
  82. 82Evaluation MILLER: overestimate capacity of STM-COWEN concluded capacity only 4 chunks
    -suggests lower end of MILLER'S estimate may be more appropriate
  83. 83Who investigated the duration of STM?PETERSON AND PETERSON
  84. 84PETERSON + PETERSON: Ps?-24 undergraduates
  85. 85PETERSON + PETERSON: Did-gave Ps a syllable trigram + 3 digit number
    -memorise trigram
    -count backwards from number to prevent rehearsal
    -retention intervals: 3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18
  86. 86PETERSON + PETERSON: Found- recall after 18s = 3%
    -recall after 3s = 80%
  87. 87PETERSON + PETERSON: Shows-STM has a duration of 18s without rehearsal
  88. 88Evaluation PETERSON + PETERSON: artificial stimuli- trigrams have no meaningful value unlike memories in everyday life => ecological validity low
    -BUT some use as sometimes must remember meaningless data *phone numbers -> not totally irrelevant
  89. 89What are the 2 types of misleading info that affect accuracy of EWT?-leading Qs
    -Post-event Discussion
  90. 90What is a leading Q?the way we phrase a question suggests a certain answer
  91. 91Why do leading Qs have this effect?-RESPONSE BIAS -> no effect on memories but influences how we decide to answer
    -SUBSTITUTION -> wording interferes with original memory
  92. 92Who studied the effect of leading Qs?LOFTUS + PALMER
    (Smash-Contacted Study)
  93. 93LOFTUS + PALMER: Ps?45 american students
  94. 94LOFTUS + PALMER: Did-showed a film of a car accident
    -gave questions about video: key = how fast were going when hit each other
    -changed the verb
    *smashed, contacted, hit, bumped + collided
  95. 95LOFTUS + PALMER: Found-smashed = mean estimate of 31.8 mph
    -contacted = mean estimate of 40.5 mph
  96. 96LOFTUS + PALMER: Shows-leading Qs bias EWT
  97. 97Evaluation LOFTUS + PALMER: Artifical Material-film = lack of stress so memory not affected like in real life
    -no consequences of prison if give wrong answer so not inclined to try as hard
    -lacks ecological validity
  98. 98Evaluation LOFTUS + PALMER: controlled standardised procedure*all watched same film of car accident
    *rest of questions were the same
    -control of extraneous variables = able to replicate
    -reliability increased
  99. 99What is post-event discussion?witnesses talk about what they have seen with others or hear what others have experienced
  100. 100Memory Contamination?-EWT contaminated
    -combine info from others with our own memories
  101. 101Memory Conformity?witness go along with each other for social approval or because believe others are right
  102. 102Who investigate the effect of post-event discussion on EWT?GABBERT ET AL
  103. 103GABBERT ET AL: Did-Pairs of Ps watched video of same burglary but from different perspectives => could see different elements
    -Ps discussed what had seen
    -then carried out individual recall test
  104. 104GABBERT ET AL: Found-71% mistakenly recalled aspects
    -0% in control group
  105. 105GABBERT ET AL: Showspicked up info from post-event discussion
  106. 106Evaluation: Real-life application of Police Interviews- improves accuracy of EWT
    -important as consequences on an inaccurate EWT =serious
    -police now more careful how they phrase QS
  107. 107Evaluation: Lab studies effected by demand characteristics-Ps want to be helpful
    -so when asked question they don't know the answer to they guess
    *did you see a blue car? -> would say yes to feel more helpful
    -lowers internal validity of research
  108. 108Evaluation: Inidividual Differences-found older people less accurate at EWT
    -BUT more accurate when identifying people of own age group (own-age bias)
    -research often use young people as person to identify => some age groups may SEAM less accurate
  109. 109Studies in to Effects of Anxiety on Accuracy of EWT-LOFTUS (Bloody Knife)
    -YUILLE + CUTSHALL (Vancouver Gun Shop)
  110. 110LOFTUS: did-Ps thought in another study + told to wait outside
    -low anxiety condition = man came out carrying a pen
    -high anxiety condition = man came out holding a (fake) bloody knife
    -asked to identify out of 50 photos
  111. 111LOFTUS: Found-low anxiety = 49% of Ps correctly identified man
    -high anxiety = 33%
  112. 112LOFTUS: Shows?less accurate due to WEAPON FOCUS EFFECT -> distracts attention from perpetrator
  113. 113Evaluation LOFTUS: ethical issues-deceived Ps = did not give fully informed consent
    -cause anxiety -> did not protect Ps from harm
  114. 114Evaluation LOFTUS: lab study with highly controlled + standardised procedure*same 50 photos
    -allows for replication
    -more reliable results
  115. 115Evaluation LOFTUS: YUILLE + CUTSHALLanxiety has a positive effect on EWT
  116. 116Evaluation LOFTUS: YERKS + DODSONS' Inverted U Hypothesis- performance increases with anxiety up to a certain point + then decreases againEvaluation LOFTUS: YERKS + DODSONS' Inverted U Hypothesis
  117. 117YUILLE + CUTSHALL: Did-real life shooting
    -13/21 agreed to take part
    -interviews held 4 - 5 months after incident + compared to original police interviews at time of shooting
    -rate anxiety on a 7-point scale
  118. 118YUILLE + CUTSHALL: Found-little change in accuracy after 5 months
    -high stress levels = 88% accurate
    -low stress levels = 75% accurate
  119. 119YUILLE + CUTSHALL: Showsanxiety improves accuracy of EWT
  120. 120Evaluation YUILLE + CUTSHALL: field study-lacks control of extraneous variables
    *post-event discussion
    -these may explain inaccuracy of EWT rather than stress levels
    -lack internal validity
    -BUT high ecological validity as real life shooting
  121. 121Evaluation YUILLE + CUTSHALL: Volunteers- only 13/21 agreed
    -may be psychologically different
    -that is what has effected accuracy of EWT rather than stress levels
    -low internal validity
  122. 122What is the Cognitive Interview designed to do?enhance recall of EWT
  123. 123Cognitive Interview: Ideas based on-info has not been lost completely so can be retrieved
    -memory = network of info
    -retrieval cues = important part of process to spark memories
  124. 124Report Everything-even if irrelevant
    -act as cues for other, more important memories
  125. 125Reinstate the Context-imagine environment of crime scene at emotions at the time
    -act as context cues
  126. 126Reverse Recall Order-prevents making assumptions about what might happen, rather than what happened
  127. 127Change Perspectiveprevent influence of schema/expectations
  128. 128The Role of Scemas?schema = packages of info about how we understand/expect the world to be
    -distort memories -> recalled assumed events
  129. 129Study into Effectiveness of the Cognitive Interview?GEISELMAN ET AL
  130. 130GEISELMAN ET AL: Did-showed videos of violent crimes to 48 students
    -48hrs later had standard police or cognitive interview
    -interviews recorded and accuracy analysed
  131. 131GEISELMAN ET AL: Found-standard = 29.4 items correct and 6.3 items incorrect
    -cognitive = 41.5 correct and 7.1 item incorrect
  132. 132GEISELMAN ET AL: Showsimproved recall significantly with only minor increase in inaccuracies
  133. 133Evaluation: Time Consuming-police reluctant to used method
    -requires more training and not able to provide more than a few hours
    -unlikely that true version of CI has been used -> cannot see results
    -longer time may also explain better results rather than the method itself
  134. 134Evaluation: Practicle Application-EWT could be enough to send someone to prison
    -research has shown inaccuracies
    -fewer wrongful convictions = less compensation for gov. to pay
