Description
| Question | Answer |
| Why is the MSM considered to be a structural information processing approach? | It's main emphasis is on the storage components & storage processes that are required for the transfer of information |
| What are the CDEMoF characteristics of sensory memory? | C - all sensory experience, large capacity D - very brief, 1-2 seconds E - sense specific MoF - inattention/decay |
| What are the 3 sub-stores in sensory memory? | Iconic - visual input Echoic - auditory input Haptic - tactile input |
| What are the CDEMoF characteristics of STM? | Limited capacity (7 +/- 2 items) Limited duration (30 seconds) Encoding - primarily acoustic MoF - decay/displacement |
| What is maintenance rehearsal? | The more rehearsed a memory is, the more lasting the memory. Expanded to include elaborative rehearsal |
| What are the CDEMoF characteristics of LTM? | Unlimited capacity Unlimited duration Encoding - mainly semantic MoF - mainly retrieval failure & inteference |
| Where must information go back through to retrieve it from LTM? | The STM rehearsal loop |
| Outline Murdock's procedures & findings to support the primacy-recency effect | 1. when ppts remember primacy & recency info they are recalling info from STM and LTM separately 2. Supports by suggesting MSM operates in different stores |
| Outline Beardsley et al's procedures & findings in a supporting brain scan study | Prefrontal cortex is activated when doing LTM task Demonstrates STM and LTM operate in separate stores |
| Discuss Clive Wearing as supporting evidence | * Disease that affected his hippocampus. Developed anterograde and retrograde amnesia *Procedural memory was fine and had a STM for up to 30 seconds * Supports the idea that STM & LTM operate separately |
| Peterson & Peterson | When rehearsal is prevented, STM has a very brief duration |
| Contradicting evidence: KF (Shallice & Warrington) | * STM isn't a single store * verbal information was poor, but normal for visual information AO2: case study, idiographic. Cannot generalise to all brain damaged patients |
| Criticism: Baddeley & Hitch - Working Memory Model | different sensory modalities in STM are dealt with by different components of the system |
| Why is it unlikely that there is only one single LTM store? (refer to Clive Wearing) | Argued that it could be divided up into semantic, episodic & procedural memories Clive Wearing: episodic memory = poor (couldn't remember children's pasts) but procedural memory was in tact |
