Topic 4 memory- Long term memory
Cards in this deck (12)
- 1how does LTM encode information ?semantically ( on the basis of what words mean )
- 2What did Baddeley investigate ?He investigated how LTM encodes information
- 3What was Baddeleys method ?he gave participants four different word lists:
-acoustically similar-taut
-acoustically dissimilar-old, deep
-semantically similar-huge, big
semantically dissimilar -day, ring
acoustic- words which sound same
semantic- words that mean same - 4What were Baddeleys findings ?With recall from STM he found what conrad found- errors were largely from acoustically similar lists. However with recall from LTM he found that errors were largely from the semantically similar list - this shows encoding in LTM relies a lot on semantic encoding
- 5What is the caapacity of LTM like ?very large
- 6What does Reber say is the current LTM capacity ?2.5 petabytes
- 7What does Reber say are some problems involved in measuring human LTM?-do not know how to measure the size of a memory
-certain memories involve more detail and take up more space while others are forgotten and free space - 8What was the method for the Bahrick experiment ?collected graduate photos from over a 50 year period and showed 392 ex students of different ages (17-74 years) photos of fellow students from there graduation year - participants were asked to either match the photos to a name from a list of names (recognition) or to name the person in the photo without the help of a list of names (recall)
- 9What were the findings of the Bahrick study ?14 years-90%
25 years-80%
34 years-75%
47 years-60% - 10What follow up study did Bahrick do ?asked teachers to pick out (recognition) and name (identification) present and former students from a set of photographs which also included distracted photos (non-students)
- 11What were the findings for Bahricks follow up study?correct responses ..
recognition: 11 days=69% 1 year=47.5% 8 years=26%
identification: 11 days=35.5% 1 year=6% 8 years=0% - 12What was the conclusion for Bahricks follow up study?people can retain info for long periods of time and people are better at recognition than identification ( better at remembering faces than names)
