- 1One evaluation of the MSM1) Bahrick et al (90% could remember class mates over 48 years later) this shows a clear difference in STM & LTM
2) Does not explain flashbulb memories
3) ignores individual differences - 2What is the coding type of the sensory register?Iconic & Echoic
- 3What is the coding type of the STMmainly auditory
- 4What is the coding type of the LTMmainly semantic
- 5What is the WMM?An alternate version to the MSM that shows the STM as an active store consisting of 4 components
- 6Name the for components of the WMMCentral executive
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer - 7explain the central executiveAn attentional process that filters incoming data and allocates this data to the slave systems. It has a limited capacity so must selectively attend to particular types of information
- 8explain the phonological loopdeals with auditory data. it is divided into the phonological store and the articulatory process
Phonological store = speech perception
articulatory process = speech production - 9explain the visuo-spatial sketchpaddeals with visual and spatial data to help navigate around the environment.
visual cache = visual data
inner scribe = spatial relationships - 10explain the episodic bufferacts as a temporary store for the central executive. it maintains a sense of time sequencing and links the WMM to the LTM
- 11evaluate the WMM1) little is known about the central executive. It is described as modality free not much else is known.
2) Dual task methods can be used to show the WMM is true
3) puts emphasis on the importance of active processing as well as storage. - 12What is episodic LTMrefers to our ability to recall events from our lives. the strength of the memory depends on the emotional strength at the time.
- 13What is semantic LTMour knowledge of the world. It contains facts, concepts and meanings. these memories are not time stamped, but the strength of the memory is associated with the degree of processing.
- 14What is procedural LTMAn implicit memory allowing people to perform tasks without having to use much conscious thought. they occur early in life, when learning motor skills
- 15What is the interference theory of forgetting?Memories compete with each other causing them to become damaged or destroyed completely meaning the memory cannot be remembered correctly or recalled at all.
- 16How does the interference theory affect the STM?the memories compete meaning rhat the memory is not transferred to the LTM so it is lost from the STM
