1Jevons bean experimentsensory memory - span of apprehension = 9
2Sperling partial report proceduresensory memory - forgetting by decay very fast
3digit span taskworking memory - avg. digit span = +-7
4Simon, diff word lengths and familiar phrasesworking memory - supports chunks
5Brown-Peterson Taskworking memory - interfered w rehearsal,
6—working memory - episodic buffer - shows semantic info in WM and release from proactive interference
7reading span: • The bishop saw the bouncing red ball in the park. Seven. Saw what? • The soldier smiled at the firefighter on the corner. Five Who smiled? • The chef threw the soup bone into the broth. Eight. Threw where?working memory - shows reading level, WM span
8anterograde amnesia patients learn implicit LTM tasksLTM - shows need for multiple systems view of LTM
9hierarchical modelLTM - explicit, semantic - disproven(response time, multiple storages)
10spreading activation theoryLTM - explicit - semantic; better network theory, creates defaults, uses content-addressable storage
11—Encoding to LTM - ppl remember better w emotional story
12—flashbulb memories - LTM encoding - not very consistent, not diff memory process, just high confidence
13—adaptive processing - improves LTM encoding
14—shows intention to learn doesn't affect LTM encoding
15—Temporal gradient/familiar faces expt. (w retrograde amnesia) shows memories must be consolidated in LTM after encoding
16—LTM retrieval - shows how good recognition is
17—LTM retrieval - supports transfer-appropriate processing, in this expt., shallow > deep with rhyme cue
18given: glue: CHAIR ground: COLDrecognition failure of recallable words: retrieval depends on encoding, here cued recall more sensitive than recognition
19Children (2-3) are shown “the incredible toy shrinking machine.” • Their vocabulary is also measured. • One year later their memory for the machine is tested, and they describe it only using words that were in their vocabulary a year ago.LTM forgetting - cue bias, childhood amnesia - have to access it w cues used in past
20—LTM forgetting due to decay - bad expt, sleep helps memory; decay = unsure
21—unlearning in LTM forgetting - performance on list 2 better w more practice, performance on list 1 worse as 2 gets better
22Loftus expt, lost in store studyrepression in LTM forgetting - guided images made some ppl believe the lost in store story
23retrieval induced frogettingselective retrieval in forgetting LTM
24Rate how birdy a certain bird isLTM explicit semantic - Typicality: shows categories aren’t always all or none like rules
25—LTM explicit semantic - Prototype: learned exemplars 1st -> when tested, could identify the prototype equally as well
263 inches in diameter - is it pizza or quarter? 3 inches in diameter - more similar to a pizza or a quarter?LTM explicit semantic - Multiple systems view: shows ppl can use multiple categorization processes - shows some categorization based on rules
27—LTM explicit semantic - multiple systems - shows ppl can use either method
