- 1Short-term MemoryDuration of 18-30 seconds. Capacity 7 +/- 2. Encoded acoustically and visually.
- 2Long-Term MemoryDuration can last a life time. Capacity is unlimited. To be put into LTM information needs to be rehearsed elaborately
- 3sensory register0.5 second duration. Large capacity
- 4Baddely10 short words.
Some were semantically similar, others not.
Tested immediately and then 20 min after.
Found after 20 min they did poorly on similar words. - 5primacy effectwords given at the start of a list are stored in LTM due to typically people rehearsing in their head to store in LTM
- 6recency effectwords given towards the end are remembered easier due to having the words stored at the end of the list
- 7codingthe way in which info is stored in various memory stores
- 8episodic memorya store of memory which is able to date when certain event occur. retrieval has to be done consciously
- 9semantic memorya store which revolves around general knowledge and understanding such as knowing the capital of France
- 10procedural memorythe store of memory which is on skills and how we do things such as knowing how to ride a bike
- 11Working memory modela representation of short-term memory. which suggests that STM is a dynamic processor of different types of information using sub-units coordinated be a central decision making system.
- 12central executivecomponent of the WMM that coordinates activities of the three sub systems in memory
- 13Phonological loopcomponent of wmm that processes sound information this includes both written and spoken material. divided into phonological store and articulatory process
- 14visiospacial sketchpadprocesses visual and spatial information in a mental space called the "inner eye"
- 15episodic bufferbrings together material from the other systems into a singe memory instead of separate stores. provides a bridge between working memory and long term memory
- 16proactive interferencewhen old memories disrupt the recall of new memories
- 17retroactive interferncewhen a new memory interferes with old memories
- 18retrieval failureforgetting due to a lack of cues to access the memory
- 19eyewitness testimonywhen a witness or victim to an event has to recall the events for either police or for reporters
