- 1What task is used to study procedural memorySerial reaction time task: visual cues responded to by tapping fingers. Patterns result in decreased reaction time (not aware: implicit)
- 2What is meant by photographic memoryEidetic memory: recall images/ sounds/ objects very accurately. Random dot stereograms used to investigate- require mental superimposition. Weak evidence.
- 3What did Ebbinghaus study and howFORGETTING. Used nonsense syllables (memory without meaning), proposed 'method of savings'
- 4Method of SavingsEbbinghaus. Number of trials taken to relearn list < no. of trials to originally learn list. Difference: due to memory. Forgetting is initially rapid the slows (logarithmic).
- 5What is meant by 'permastore'?Forgetting is initially rapid then slows, memories preserved after 3 years are likely to prevail after 30 years. Bahrick and Phelps
- 6Features of sensory memoryLarge capacity, transient (short lived), literal record of perceptual experience (e.g. sound, taste). Subdivisions of iconic memory and echoic memory.
- 7How has iconic memory been studied?Sperling 1960: flash matrix of letters and digits, average 4 items reported (whole report). Partial report: able to report any row- due to focused attention.
