Memory
Cards in this deck (26)
- 1Stages of MemoryEncoding, Storage, Retrevial
- 2Types of MemorySensory, STM, LTM
- 3what is Sensory Memoryvisual for 1/2 second
auditory for 2 seconds - 4What is STMlimited Capacity 7+-2
lasts for 30sec if not rehearsed - 5What is LTMunlimited capacity and permament
passes through the STM following rehearsal - 6LTM consists of........... memoryEpisodic
semantic
Procedural - 7Whats is Episodic memoriespast memories
- 8What is semantic memoriesdetails & facts
- 9Whats is procedural memoriesskills
- 10Types of rehearsalMaintenance
Elaborative - 11Cog- what is the computer analogyLTM is compared to a computer hard-drive
- 12Cog- what are Schemasare a set of beliefs and ideas
LTM are based on Schemas as similar memories are stored together - 13Weakness of cogunlike a hard drive, LTM does not have a limited capacity
- 14Strength of CogSchemas and LTM used to understand Eyewitness memory
- 15Bio- Nervous system and Brain areasNeocortex is the Frontal lobe where STM processing occurs
hippocampus is essential for LTM to be formed
cells in the hippocampus decrease due to stress - 16H.M 1957suffered from epilepsy
large temoral lobe in the hippocampus removed
could not encode new LTM
Suggests his declarative memory is unharmed - 17Bio- Neurons & NeurotransmittersLTM storage is explained in terms of synapses between neutrons that are strengthens of forming new ones.
LTP is a new way in learning new memories
LTM limit of capacity is based on neutrons in the brain - 18Bio- strengthbrain injured patients allow a better understanding of memory loss
- 19Bio- weaknessrelies on brain injured patients - can't be generalised
- 20Multi-Store Model- Atkinson & shiffrin 1968memory is a linear process with each store acting as a gateway
- 21What is it?
- 22EvidenceMiller 1956
capacity 7+-2
chunks is known to increase the capacity but may reduce accuracy - 23Loftus and Palmer 1974150 students were shown a short film
3 conditions - 50 each
the last group were not influenced - 24How fast were the cars travelings at when they..................1) smashed
2) hit - 25Response to yesSmashed - 16
Hit- 7
