- 1What are the three main tests for memory?Tests used for memory include cued recall, free recall and recognition.
- 2What are the two types of memory proposed by (William James)?The two types of memory include primary memory and secondary memory.
Primary memory is the idea that anything experienced (sensations) remain stored in memory briefly.
Secondary Memory is the idea that information leaves its conscious state but can be retrieved back. - 3How can the two types of memory be distinguished?Memories can be distinguished through the duration it lasts for.
Sensory store- milliseconds (up to MAX 1s)
STM store- 10/20 seconds
LTM store- Days - 4What are examples of Primary memory?Primary memory can either be sensory memory or STM.
Primary memories are held in these stores consciously (with awareness) - 5What is an example of Secondary memory?The LTM is secondary as it's left the conscious state but is still being held onto through retrieval.
- 6What is the Multi-store model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin?The multi-store model proposes that there are different stores of memory with different characteristics.
The sensory register
The STM store
The LTM store - 7What are the types of memory within LTM memory?There is episodic and semantic memory.
Episodic memory is where we remember certain events/episodes throughout our life
Semantic memory is the knowledge on things that are important to us.
Episodic memory can turn into semantic memory as knowledge or memories can't be traced back to 1 specific memory. - 8What are three experiments used to study sensory memory?Three experiments include:
Javson - beans in a box study
Averbach - a pattern of dots
Sperling - stimulus of 12 items - 9Explain the idea of 'output interference'The idea of output interference is that when trying to remember the first few items heard it interferes with learning the rest of the items -> issue with sperlings is that this may be the reason why 12 items aren't remembered for longer.
- 10What do we learn from the experiments about sensory memories and their store?Through these experiments, it can be learnt that sensory memories are unique in that they have a capacity limit of 12 items but briefly milliseconds later disappear.
- 11What is the Primary effect??
- 12What is the recency effect??
