Memory 2

1. Multi-Store Model of Memory

   • Positive
     • Two kinds of case studies to support
     • Researchers have supported this
   • Negative
     • Too Simplistic
     • Not supported by all case studies

2. Levels of Processing

   • Positive
     • Explain memory durability differences
     • Has physical evidence to back up
   • Negative
     • Not all memory is accounted for
     • Can't explain all types

3. Cue-Dependent Forgetting

   • Case Study
     • Aim
       • To investigate whether a natural environment can act as a cue for recall
     • Sample
       • 18 participants from uni diving club
     • Procedure
       • The divers were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 conditions
       • The learned and recalled lists of 38 unrelated words
     • Context-cued Conditions
       • Learn on dry land and recall on dry land
       • Learn under water and recall under water
     • Non-Context Cue
       • Learn on dry land and recall under water
       • Learn underwater, recall on dry land
     • Results
       • Words were recalled better in the same environment that they were learned in
     • Conclusion
       • The environment can act as a contexual cue for recall
