AQA A-level Psychology: Memory MSM Pt1

Coding is acoustic, capacity is limited and duration is between about 18 and 30 seconds'. Which memory srore is being described?

• Sensory register
• Long-term memory
• Short-term memory
• Procedural memory

The term coding refers to what?

• The format in which information is stored in memory
• The length of time information is stored for in memory
• The amount of information that can be stored in memory at any one time
• The transfer of information from one memory store to another

Which of these statements best describes LTM?

• A memory store with limited capacity and acoustic coding
• A permanent memory store with semantic coding
• A temporary memory store with visual coding
• A memory store with semantic coding and limited capacity

Peterson & Peterson investigated:

• The capacity of STM
• The duration of STM
• The coding of STM
• The duration of LTM

Which of the following are features of the sensory register?

• It has a capacity of seven items, plus or minus two
• Memories in the register can last up to a lifetime
• The capacity is very large
• Coding is semantic

The multi-store model describes which of the following memory stores?

• Short-term memory and long-term memory only
• Sensory register, short-term memory and long-term memory
• Episodic memory, semantic memory and procedural memory
• Flash-bulb memory and iconic memory

The process by which information is held in STM by repeating it over and over again'. What is being described here.

• Retrieval
• Consolidation
• Elaborative rehearsal
• Maintenance rehearsal

The case of HM supports the multi-store model because he:

• Had a poor LTM and a poor STM
• Had an immediate memory span but could not remeber whom he had spoken to just one hour earlier
• Could never learn a new skill or remember practising it
• Had a good STM for digits but a poor one for letters
