- 1codingthe format which information is stored in various memory stores
- 2capacitythe amount of information that can be held in a memory store
- 3short term memorythe limited capacity memory store, around 5-9 chunks, acoustic coding and a duration of 18-30 seconds
- 4long term memorythe permanent memory store, semantic coding, unlimited capacity and can store memories for up to a lifetime
- 5multi-store modela representation of how memory works in terms of the sensory register, short term and long term memory and describes how information is transferred form one to another
- 6sensory registerthe memory store for our senses
- 7episodic memorya long term memory store for personal events in the past of people, objects, places and behaviours and have to be retrieved consciously and with effort
- 8semantic memorya long term memory store for our knowledge of the world and includes facts and out knowledge of what words mean and usually needs to be recalled deliberately
- 9procedural memorya long term memory store for out knowledge of how to do things and includes memories of learned skills and can be recalled without conscious effort
- 10working memory modela representation of STM that suggests STM is a dynamic processor of different types of information using sub-units co-ordinated by a central decision making system
- 11central executiveco-ordinates the activities of the three subsystems in memory and allocates slave systems
- 12phonological loopprocesses information in terms of sound and includes both written and spoken material and is divided into the phonological store and articulatory process
- 13visuo-spatial sketchpadprocesses visual and spatial information in a mental space and is often called the inner eye
- 14episodic bufferbring together the material from the other slave systems into a single memory and provides a bridge between working memory and long term memory
- 15interferenceforgetting because one memory blocks another causing one or both memories to be distorted or forgotten
- 16proactive interferenceforgetting occurs when old memories interfere with the recall of new memories and the degree of forgetting is increased when the memories are similar
- 17retroactive interferenceforgetting occurs when newer memories disrupt he recall of older memories and the degree of forgetting increases when the memories are similar
- 18retrieval failurea form of forgetting where we don't have the necessary cues to access the memories. the memory is available but not accessible unless a suitable cue is provided
- 19cueis a trigger of information that allows us to access a memory they may be meaningful or indirectly linked by being encoded at the time of learning
- 20eyewitness testimonythe ability of people to remember the details of events such as accidents and crimes which they themselves have observed. the accuracy is affected by factors such as misleading information, leading questions and anxiety
- 21misleading informationincorrect information given to the eyewitness usually after the event and can take many forms such as leading questions and post event discussion between co-witnesses and or other people
- 22leading questionsa question which suggest a certain answer due to the way it is phrased
- 23post event discussionoccurs when there is more than one witness to an event. witnesses may discuss what they have seen with co-witnesses or other people and may influence the accuracy of each witnesses recall of the events
- 24anxietya state of emotional and physical arousal and may include worried thoughts and feelings of tension, increased heart rate and sweatiness. is a normal reaction to stressful situations but can affect the accuracy and detail of eyewitness testimony
- 25cognitive interviewa method of interviewing eyewitnesses to help them retrieve more accurate information. it uses 4 main techniques based on well established psychological knowledge of human memory (report everything, reinstate the context, reverse the order and change perspective
