Flashcards do conjunto (17)
- 1Who created the Multi Store Model of Memory?Atkinson and Shiffrin
- 2When was the model theorised?1968
- 3What does the Multi Store Model compare the workings of the memory to?The internal workings of a computer- they cannot be easily altered and work in a set, mechanical way
- 4What three stores does the MSM state memory consists of?The sensory store, short term store and long term store. Also known as sensory, short term and long term memory.
- 5What is the purpose of the sensory store?To act as a buffer for all of the information our senses are bombarded with. It holds this attention for a short period until attention is paid to it. If attention is not paid to it, it will be forgotten.
- 6How is sensory memory normally tested?A grid of letters is flashed onto a screen in front of participant for a brief moment and the participants are asked to recall as many letters as they can.
- 7How many letters can participants recall on average from the test for sensory memory?4.32
- 8What is the duration of the sensory memory?A few hundred milliseconds
- 9What is the duration of the short term memory? (Short term memory is the step that occurs once sensory information has been paid attention to.)15-30 seconds
- 10What happens to information in the short term memory after 30 seconds, if we have not paid attention to it?It is thought to go through decay
- 11What did Peterson and Peterson do?Tested short term memory by giving participants a set of three consonants (eg, BDF) known as a trigram and then stopped their rehearsal by making them count back from a number in threes.
- 12What did Peterson and Peterson find?Correct recall of the three consonants was pretty accurate after a short interval of distraction but if distracted from rehearsal for over 15-18 seconds, correct recall fell rapidly.
- 13What is the capacity of the short term memory (According to Atkinson and Shiffren)?5-8 items. Miller (1956) later referred to this as the magic number 7 (7 +/-2)
- 14What is encoding?The way in which we remember a piece of information. For example, we don't always remember something we see as a visual memory. We can remember it in auditory form, hearing ourselves saying something such as 'I saw a dog'.
- 15How does information get into the long term memory?Rehearsal from the short term memory
- 16What is the duration of the long term memory?Potentially, long term memories can last a lifetime. It can also have a potentially limitless capacity.
- 17Summarise the encoding, duration and capacity of each type of memory store in the MSM
