Psychology - Memory - Short-Term Memory

1. 1Coding the Short-Term Memory:
   [blank_start]Visually[blank_end] - Remembering images
   [blank_start]Acoustically[blank_end] - Remembering sounds and words
   [blank_start]Semantically[blank_end] - Remembering the meaning/emotion of something

   1. AVisually
   2. BAcoustically
   3. CSemantically
2. 2[blank_start]Baddeley[blank_end] ([blank_start]1966[blank_end]) found that STM is mainly encoded acoustically. He gave participants acoustically similar words and compared them with a group that had to remember acoustically dissimilar words. He found that the similar words were [blank_start]least[blank_end] well recalled ([blank_start]10%[blank_end]) with other lists being recalled between [blank_start]60%[blank_end] and [blank_start]80%.[blank_end]

3. 3True or False: STM can hold 15 items at a time?

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
4. 4[blank_start]Chunking[blank_end]: Increases capacity of STM by finding links between didgits and letters.

   1. AChunking
5. 5[blank_start]Miller[blank_end] ([blank_start]1956[blank_end]) found the "Magic number [blank_start]seven[blank_end], plus or minus [blank_start]two[blank_end]," which suggests the average amount of numbers that can be held in STM.

6. 6Which of the following statements about the duration of STM are true?

   1. AIt is thought to be long (around two minutes)
   2. BIt can be extended through repetition of information.
   3. CIt is thought to be quite short (a maximum of 30 seconds)
7. 7[blank_start]Peterson and Peterson[blank_end] ([blank_start]1959[blank_end]) used trigrams to test STM retention. The participants were prevented from rehearsing by being made to count backwards until they were allowed to stop. They found STM [blank_start]declined[blank_end] massively without rehearsal.
