memory eval
Cards in this deck (12)
- 1research on codingartificial stimuli - word lists have no meaning to ppts
- 2Research capacityLacking validity - conducted long time ago so confounding variables not controlled
Not so many chunks - Cowan reviewed and said capacity of STM only 4 chunks - 3Duration of STMMeaningless stimuli- so lack external validity
No control over memory trace or displacement causing forgetting - 4Duration of LTMHigher external validity as tested real-life meaningful memories
- 5MSMSupporting evidence - Baddeley
More than one type of STM - KF
More than one type of rehearsal - elaborative
Artificial materials for supporting evidence
More than one type of LTM
Overly simplistic
LTM and STM not separate stores - 6Types of LTMClinical evidence - HM and Clive Wearing
Neuroimaging evidence
Real-life applications
Problems with clinical evidence - lack of control over case studies
Three types of LTM or two ? declarative memory (consciously recalled) - 7WMMClinical evidence - KF
Dual task performance - Baddeley F whilst tracking light
Lack of Clarity over CE
Studies of word length effect support PL
Brain scanning studies support WMM - 8Interference theoryEvidence from lab studies - most consistently demonstrated findings
Artificial materials
Real-life studies - rugby players
Time between learning - lack ecological validity
Interference effects may be overcome using cues
Only explains some types of forgetting
Application to advertising
Individual differences - 9Retrieval failure theorySupporting evidence - Godden + Baddeley and Carter and Cassady
Questioning context effects - hard to find environment as different as land and water
Recall vs Recognition - kind of memory being tested, recognition test no difference in context
Problems with ESP - can't be tested
Real-life applications - cognitive interview - 10Misleading Information effecting EWTUseful real-life applications - improve EWT
Tasks are artificial
Individual differences - own age bias
Demand characteristics - may want to be helpful
Consequences of EWT - in studies they care much less - 11Anxiety affecting EWTWeapon focus effect may not be relevant - may test surprise not anxiety
Field studies sometimes lack control
Ethical issues - psychological harm of creating anxiety
Inverted-U too simplistic - anxiety difficult to measure this only measures physiological
Demand characteristics operate in lab studies of anxiety - 12Cognitive interviewCI is time-consuming
Some elements more valuable than others - report everything and context reinstatement
Support for effectiveness - meta-analysis by Kohnken provided more correct info
Variations of CI used
CI creates an increase in inaccurate info 61%
