- 1Evaluation Of Murdock and Peterson and PetersonStudies help us to understand why it is so difficult to remember the registration number of a passing car or someone's telephone number. Therefore, we should not just dismiss this explanation of memory as incorrect. Also not everything we learn has to be rehearsed. many everyday events are easily remembered. It is also true that saying things over and over does not necessarily make them easier to recall. It is more important to understand the meaning of information so that you can say it in your own words. Studies also lack ecological validity.
- 2Practical Implications For Murdock and Peterson and PetersonKnowing that the capacity of the short-term store is approximately seven 'chunks' you may have realised why car registration numbers never exceed that number. Therefore, if you need to remember a registration number, you have a chance of doing so by saying it over and over to yourself.
- 3Evaluation of Craik and Lockhartstudy doesn't explain why deeper levels of processing helps memory. Some people have said that deeper processing takes more time and that is what helps us to recall more information. Deeper processing also takes more effort and perhaps it is the extra effort that helps us. Also it lacks ecological validity as real life memory tasks are not usually about learning lists of words.
- 4Practical Implications of Craik and LockhartImprove study skills. Instead of just reading something over and over in the hope that you might remember it better, try reading it once and then writing it down in your own words. Doing it this way requires semantic processing.
- 5practical implication of Godden and baddeleyIt would be better to take examinations in the same room where the information was learn. However you do not usually have lessons in the exam hall. But you could make your learning environment at home resemble the environment in which you are tested. For example work at a desk instead of spreading your books across you bed.
- 6Evaluation of eyewitness accountsWatching a film or a video of an event is not the same as a real life experience. This is because when you are watching a film you are prepared for what is about to happen and you are in a safe environment. If you witness a real-life incident, you are not usually expecting it to happen, so it takes you by surprise. Also, the situation might pose some danger for you. All this could have an effect on what you are able to recall. However, Bruce and Young's experiment does demonstrate the limited value of security cameras when it comes to identifying someone.
- 7Practical implication for Loftus and PalmerWe know from there study that leading questions can change memory. Therefore, when talking to witnesses, police and lawyers should avoid asking leading questions and should adopt a neutral style of questioning.
- 8practical implication for Bruce and YoungFrom the Bruce and Young study, we know that memory for faces can be unreliable in certain situations. Therefore, we should realise that identity parades along might have limited use when trying to find a suspected criminal, especially when witnesses are asked to identify a stranger. There needs to be other evidence aswell.
- 9practical implication for Geiselman et alThis study shows the importance of context when trying to accurately recall an incident. therefore, taking witnesses back to the scene of the incident may help their recall. it would also help if the interviewer and person being interviewed tried to recreate the context in which the incident occurred, before the witness tries to recall the events themselves.
- 10Evaluation of Bartlett and Wynn and LogieThe reconstructive explanation is important because it emphasises the influence of people's previous knowledge and background on the way they remember things. perhaps this is why people of different cultures have difficulty in agreeing with each other. However it would be very difficult to measure the accuracy of the stories told with a reliable scoring method. Bartlett's story 'War Of The Ghosts' is confusing and not similar to our everyday experiences. Wynn and Logie's participants may not have chang3ed their stories during the year but how do we know how accurate they were to begin with? There would have been no independent way of checking that.
