1Jacobs (1887):
Investigated the [blank_start]capacity[blank_end] of short term memory.
Lists of [blank_start]digits[blank_end]/letters presented to participants - at [blank_start]half second[blank_end] intervals.
Required to [blank_start]repeat[blank_end] list in [blank_start]correct[blank_end] order.
List started with [blank_start]three items[blank_end] + increased in length [blank_start]1[blank_end] at a time = until no longer [blank_start]recall[blank_end] list accurately.
Repeated several times to obtain average number (known as '[blank_start]digit span[blank_end]').
On average= hold between [blank_start]5-9[blank_end] items.- Acapacity
- Bdigits
- Chalf second
- Drepeat
- Ecorrect
- Fthree items
- G1

- Idigit span

2Conrad ([blank_start]1964[blank_end])
Investigated [blank_start]coding[blank_end] in short term memory.
Participants shown = series of [blank_start]random[blank_end] sequences of [blank_start]6[blank_end] consonants in [blank_start]rapid[blank_end] succession on screen + asked to [blank_start]write[blank_end] letters in order.
Letters = acoustically [blank_start]similar[blank_end] (T, V, P, B, C D) or [blank_start]dissimilar[blank_end] (F, J, R, Q, Z, V).
[blank_start]Difficult[blank_end] to recall acoustically similar sounding sequences than dissimilar ones = short term memory uses [blank_start]acoustic code[blank_end].- A1964

3How many types of LTM memories are there?

- B2
- C1
4[blank_start]Episodic[blank_end] memories are memories based on the [blank_start]events[blank_end] ([blank_start]episodes[blank_end]) in day-to-day lives. This requires [blank_start]conscious[blank_end] thinking, which is known as declarative ([blank_start]explicit[blank_end]) thinking. Some features of episodic memories are:
When they happened.
Different parts [blank_start]woven[blank_end] in one, connected in the [blank_start]hippocampus[blank_end] (to create a memory of event).
[blank_start]Strong/weak[blank_end] factors, via [blank_start]emotional[blank_end] connections or the [blank_start]depth of processed[blank_end] information when coded.- AEpisodic

5Clive Wearing would know how to play the piano but has a problem recalling episodic memories.
- ATrue
- BFalse
6Which of these are an example of episodic memories?
- AFirst date
- BHaving dinner with friends
- CThrowing up on a rollercoaster
- DWords to a song
- EThe capital city of China
- FHow to ride a bike
- GTyping
7Semantic memory refers to the [blank_start]general knowledge[blank_end] one has possessed. They start of as being associated with [blank_start]episodic[blank_end] memories but with time, loses the association to the particular event. Semantic memory requires [blank_start]conscious[blank_end] thinking ([blank_start]declarative[blank_end] thinking) This would be located in the [blank_start]temporal/frontal[blank_end] lobes in the brain.

- Cproceedural

- Fdeclarative

- Htemporal/frontal

- Jfrontal
8Herlitz et al. (1997) studied gender differences in semantic memories in 100 Swedish participants. They found that there are no differences between males and females.
- ATrue
- BFalse
9Which one is not an example of semantic memory?
- AThe purpose of a teddy bear
- BWhich country Manila is in.
- CThe order of the Harry Potter books
- DHow to bake a cake
10Procedural memory is about [blank_start]skill-based[blank_end] memories. This requires [blank_start]no conscious[blank_end] effort to recall the memories, which is why it is referred as [blank_start]implicit[blank_end] memory. It is believed that procedural memory occurs in the [blank_start]cerebellum[blank_end] and the primary [blank_start]motor[blank_end] cortex, along with other parts of the brain.
- Askill-based
- Bno conscious
- Cimplicit
- Dcerebellum
- Emotor
11Smith (2001) trained animals to complete tasks and were rewarded with sleep. Their sleep patterns were disturbed during various sleep stages in the night. Disrupting REM sleep affects procedural memory badly, since the group with disrupted sleep performed the worse during the tasks.
- ATrue
- BFalse
12Which type of memory would going to your first concert fall into?
- AEpisodic Memory
- BSemantic Memory
- CProcedural Memory
13Some people argues that Tulving is incorrect. Which one of these is the reason why people argue that Tulving's claims are wrong?
- AEpisodic and Semantic memory should be the same store.
- BEpisodic and Procedural memory should be the same store.
- CSemantic and Procedural memory should be the same store.
14Evidence from brain scans proves that the 3 memory stores are separate.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15Working Memory Model criticises the Multi Store Model by arguing that short term memory is [blank_start]oversimplified[blank_end].
1) Short term memory is not [blank_start]unitary[blank_end].
2) The subdivided stores in short term memory [blank_start]communicates[blank_end] with each other. Therefore, the information does not flow in [blank_start]one direction[blank_end].
3) Short term memory can deal with 2 [blank_start]modality[blank_end] at once, which is not suggested in the [blank_start]Multi Store Model[blank_end].
4) These subdivisions deal with [blank_start]different[blank_end] modality.
5) There is one subdivision that [blank_start]oversees[blank_end] the whole operation.- Aoversimplified
- Bunitary
- Ccommunicates
- Done direction
- Emodality

- Goversees
- HMulti Store Model
16Central Executive:
This subdivision is considered as the "[blank_start]supervisor[blank_end]" of the Working Memory Model (WMM). This can [blank_start]control[blank_end] and direct attention and is involved with [blank_start]planning[blank_end] and decision making by sorting out which subdivision deals with what. For example, with [blank_start]auditory[blank_end] information, the central executive sends it off to the phonological [blank_start]loop[blank_end], whereas with [blank_start]visual[blank_end] information, it sends the information off to the visuo-spatial [blank_start]sketchpad[blank_end]. If one subdivision is [blank_start]overloading[blank_end] with information, the central executive can take over for only [blank_start]2[blank_end] seconds. The coding is [blank_start]modality free[blank_end] and it has a [blank_start]limited[blank_end] capacity.- Asupervisor

17[blank_start]Proactive[blank_end] interference is where older memory interferes with a newer one. [blank_start]Retroactive[blank_end] interference is where newer memory interferes with an older one.
