1Information Processing approach- Process = experience, perception, thinking, decision-making
- Storage = memory
2Miller (1956)- STM has 7 chunks
- Useful for everyday tasks -> holding a conversation
- Chunks have size -> bigger chunks take up more space
3Naveh-Benjamin & Ayres (1986)Size related of chunks to pronunciation rate -> when digits have syllables, fewer can be held
4Peterson & Peterson (1959)After studying words, duration > 30 seconds
5Wickens et al (1976)- Learning items from the same category leads to increasingly worse memory.
- Change new category leads to a release of proactive interference
6Sperling (1960)- Found recall was 33% for 9 letter row; 75% in a 3 letter row
7Sensory memory- Sensory memory has a large capacity but information decays rapidly
- After 1 second, information faded but can be rehearsed (STM)
8Baddeley and Hitch (1974)- Found that memory is not simply a passive storage area
-> A place where information for current goals and activities is held and actively processed
9Phonological loopstores auditory information
- Accuracy is worse for acoustically similar items therefore, items are stored phonologically
10Visuospatial sketchpadstores visual and spatial information
- Involves visual objects and spatial location
- Contents of the phonological loop do not interfere with visuospatial memory
