Flashcards do conjunto (27)
- 1Semantic memoryGiving the information meaning
- 2Procedural memoryTasks that have been learnt already (Eg walking)
- 3Episodic memoryPast events
- 4MSM1. Atkinson and Shriffin
2. 3 stores SM,STM,LTM
3. Contains capacities
4. Contains Durations
5. Contains encoding methods - 5Sensory memoryInfo from the environment. if it is paid attention to it will be encoded into the STM
The duration is milliseconds and the information is encoded haptically, echoically and iconically. - 6Short term memoryDuration Around 20s
Capacity 7+/- 2
Encoded acoustically - 7Long term memoryrehearsed info moves from the STM to the LTM
duration and capacity are potentially unlimited.
info is generally encoded semantically - 8CapacityThe amount of info that can be stored
- 9DurationThe length of time the info lasts for
- 10EncodingThe way info is moved into a different store (inputed)
- 11ChunkingGrouping lists into several bits to make it easier to remember
- 12Free recallStudy a list of items and asked to recall them in any order
- 13Digit Span techniqueThe capacity of STM
- 14Serial RecallRecall lists of items in a certain order
- 15Working memory model (WMM)Memory that you use when you work on a complex task which requires you to store info as you go along
- 16Centeral executiveMonitors and coordinates all of the mental functions in working memory model
Attention
Limited capacity
Contains three slave systems - 17Phonological loopSplits into the Phonological process and the articulatory store. dealing with the inner ear and inner voice.
Requires maintenance rehearsal
Limited capacity - 18Visuo spatial sketchpadEncodes visual info in terms of separate objects.
also encodes the arrangement of the objects. - 19Episodic bufferReceives input from many sources. Temporarily stores the info and then integrates it in order to construct a mental episode of what is being experienced now,
- 20Word length effectThe observation that people remember lists of short words better than lists of long words
- 21Dual task methodBaddeley and Hitch 1976.
'The the the' and 'random digits task'.
To show how two tasks involving the same components cause difficulty. - 22Articulatory supressionA repetitive task using the articulatory process which prevents rehearsal (eg counting back from three over and over)
- 23Eyewitness testimonySomeone who has seen the crime. Usually presents at the time of the incident. The evidence is given in court to indentify the perertaror.
- 24Leading (misleading) questionA question either by form or content suggests a desired answer or leads a witness to believe a desired answer. Contains misleading info or words.
Often closed eg yes/no answers - 25AnxietyAn unpleasant emotional state where we fear that something bad is about to happen. Accompanied by emotional arousal
- 26Weapon focusEyewitnesses tend to focus on the weapons as opposed to other details eg the face
- 27Cognitive interviewA police technique for interviewing witnesses to a crime which encourages them to recreate the original contect in order to increase the accessibility of stored information
