Cards in this deck (10)
- 1What is the Sensory Memory?Input comes from the environment goes through the senses into the SS. Info is only held for a short period of time and then it DECAYS, if we pay attention then it goe sto the STM.
- 2What is the duration of the SS and how much can it hold?3-7 items for
0.5-3 seconds - 3What is the Short Term Memory?Input comes for the SS and old information can be diplaced by new information. If rehearsal is continously carried out it will go to the LTM
- 4What is the duration of the STM and it's capacity?5-9 items for
5-20 seconds - 5What is the Long Term Memory?Input is from STM. Data has to be retreived back into the STM to use it.
- 6What is the duration and the capacity of the LTM?Unlimeted information that is permanent
HUGE AMMOUNTS OF INFO CAN BE STORED FROM 1 DAY TO A LIFETIME. - 7What is one of the criticisms...The model overemphasizes the role of rehearsal in memory.
- 8Critics say...Critics could say the meaning of data is more important than how much we rehearse it
- 9Another Criticism is...The model over generalizes by seeing us as mass-produced machines who are built and function in the same way.
- 10Evidence?Evidence suggests that our memories work much more individually. This could be due to the fact that meaning is not the same for everyone
