Cards in this deck (21)
- 1Outline Baddleys study-lists of words that were
1. acoustically similar
2. acoustically dissimilar
3. semantically similar
4.semantically dissimilar
-The acoustically similar ones were remembered. - 2What does Baddleys research support?-The coding of the STM
- 3Outline Jacobs study-Serial digit recall e.g 2,5,7,8,2,9..
-Found majority of participants could recall 5-9 numbers (7+ or -2) - 4What does Jacobs study support?-The capacity of the STM
- 5Outline Peterson and Petersons study-1 Participants had to remember trigrams
-2 then had to count back from a number selected by the researchers in threes (prevent maintenance rehearsal)
-3 found memory lasted no longer than 18 seconds - 6What does Peterson and Petersons study support?-The duration of the STM
- 7How is the LTM coded?-Semantically
- 8What is the capacity of the LTM?-Unlimited
- 9What is the duration of the LTM-A lifetime
- 10How is information brought to the STM from the LTM-Retrieval
- 11How is information brought to the LTM from the STM?-Maintenance rehearsal
- 12What is a strength of the multi-store memory model?-It has laboratory evidence and studies to support the model
-Also supports that the STM and LTM are different stores - 13How does HM support the Multi-store model?-He was unable to make new memories after his hippocampus was removed due to epilepsy, but his old memories remained.
-This supports the model because it shows that the STM and LTM are separate. - 14What is a weakness of the Multi-store model-It's too simplistic
-WWM research suggests that the STM is broken into different stores
-MSM doesn't take these stores into account - 15What are the 3 types of LTM?-Episodic
-Sematic
-Procedural - 16Episodic Memory-Meanings, emotions etc.
-Distinguish between 'real' and 'imagined'
-Conscious effort to recall them - 17Semantic Memory-Universal facts, concepts and meanings
-better sustained than episodic
-e.g. how to behave in a particular situation - 18Procedural Memory-How to do something
-Learned tasks
-e.g. surfing, skateboarding - 19How does HM supports the types of LTM?After his hippocampus was removed, HM's procedural memory was still working, if the LTM was in the same place he would lose all three
- 20What other research can be used to support the types of LTM?-Brain scans
