Unit 1: Memory

1. Multi-Store Model

   • Atkinson & Shiffrinin
   • Glanzer & Cunitz
     • Primacy & Recency Effect
   • Bladdley
     • Acoustic Encoding in STM
     • Semantic Encoding in LTM
   • Case of K.F.
     • No STM, No rehearsal, LTM still works
   • Case of H.M.
     • No new LTM, but can recall from LTM to STM
   • Peterson & Peterson
     • Duration of STM is 20-30s

2. Working Memory Model

   • Baddeley & Hitch
     • Dual Task studies :Take longer but same accracy
   • Baddeley et al
     • Word length effect (Short easier than longer)
   • Baddeley & Gathercole
     • Difficulties in dual task by VSS

3. Factors affecting EWT

   • Anxiety
     • Loftus
       • Weapon Focus Effect
     • Yerkes-Dodson law
       • The inverted-U Model
     • Christianson & Hubinette
       • Real EWs accurately recall after 15 months
     • Yuille & Cutshall
       • High arousal=Low recall ; Extreme arousal=high recall
   • Age
     • Coxon & Valentine
       • Young adults outperform elderly & children
     • Parker & Carranza

       • Aged participants - recall less complete
     • Elias et al
       • Young adults are simply used to quizes
     • Anastasi & Rhoodes
       • Stimuli problem: photo within the age gp are best identified
   • Misleading Information
     • Loftus & Palmer
       • Misleading questions with diff. verbs lead to diff. testimony
     • Loftus
       • Recalled wrong when given misleading information (White Barn)

4. Cognitive interview

   • Geiselman & Fisher
