Flashcards
Multi Store Model of Memory
Cards in this deck (14)
- 1Why 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
- 2What 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 - 3What are the 3 sub-stores in sensory memory?Iconic - visual input
Echoic - auditory input
Haptic - tactile input - 4What are the CDEMoF characteristics of STM?Limited capacity (7 +/- 2 items)
Limited duration (30 seconds)
Encoding - primarily acoustic
MoF - decay/displacement - 5What is maintenance rehearsal?The more rehearsed a memory is, the more lasting the memory. Expanded to include elaborative rehearsal
- 6What are the CDEMoF characteristics of LTM?Unlimited capacity
Unlimited duration
Encoding - mainly semantic
MoF - mainly retrieval failure & inteference - 7Where must information go back through to retrieve it from LTM?The STM rehearsal loop
- 8Outline Murdock's procedures & findings to support the primacy-recency effect1. when ppts remember primacy & recency info they are recalling info from STM and LTM separately
2. Supports by suggesting MSM operates in different stores - 9Outline Beardsley et al's procedures & findings in a supporting brain scan studyPrefrontal cortex is activated when doing LTM task
Demonstrates STM and LTM operate in separate stores - 10Discuss 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 - 11Peterson & PetersonWhen rehearsal is prevented, STM has a very brief duration
- 12Contradicting 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 - 13Criticism: Baddeley & Hitch - Working Memory Modeldifferent sensory modalities in STM are dealt with by different components of the system
- 14Why 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
