M+F Assumptions
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Assumptions of Multi-Store ModelAtkinson and Shiffrin
Sensory store - unlimited capacity (all sensory experience), quarter sec visual 4 secs auditory, decay
STM - 7+/- 2 chunks (Miller), 20 secs, encoded acoustically, decay/displacement
LTM - unlimited capacity/duration, encoded semantically, decay/interference - 2Assumptions of Working ModelBaddeley and Hitch, STM
Central exec - major decisions of where attention payed, operation if other components, limited capacity
Articulatory loop (phonological store) - limited capacity (how long takes to say something) verbal rehearsal component, prepare speech, think in words
Primary acoustic store (phonological store) - limited capacity auditory rehearsal, receives sound info from enviro/inner voice
Visuospatial scratchpad - visual infor from verbal stimuli, image/manipulate visuospatial info - 3Assumptions of Levels of ProcessingCraik and Lockhart
Structural/physical (shallow) - infor analysed on physical qualities
Phonemic (intermediate) - analysed on sound
Semantic (deep) - analysed on meaning, more likely to be retrieved - 4Assumptions of Trace DecaySTM + LTM
Info not rehearsed, trace connections between neurons fade (biological)
Ebinghaus - law of disuse, not used memories fade
Forgetting curve
Bjork + Bjork - traces compete for retrieval path, frequent retrieval strengthens - 5Assumptions of InterferenceOriginal wiped out by other similar set of info
Proactive - old infor interferes with new
Retroactive - new interferes with old - 6Assumptions of DisplacementSTM
Capacity small, new info pushes old info out - 7Assumptions of Lack of ConsolidationLTM
Take in new info, time needed for nervous system changes. Disrupted = info lost
Parkin stages
1. Initial fixation
2. Links with new trace + existing memories
Reasons for: surgery, concussion/brain damage (e.g. hippocampus), ECT, drugs - 8Assumptions of Cue-Dependent ForgettingLTM
Info available, can't access
Context-dependent - recall in different context to where learnt
State-dependent - internal state different in learning and recall - 9Assumptions of Motivated ForgettingLTM
Unconsciously repress traumatic info
