Who conducted research on coding?
(a)
Define coding
The way in which information is stored / put into / processed into memory,
How much can be held in memory, in terms of bits or chunks of information.
how long a memory lasts in a store, before it is no longer available for recall.
According to Baddeley's Experiment, how is STM coded?
According to Baddeley's experiment, how is LTM coded?
Define capacity.
How long you can hold a piece of information in your memory
How much information you can hold in your memory
How information is stored in your memory
How did Jacobs investigate the capacity of STM?
What is the capacity of Short term memory?
Around 7
More than 10
Less than 3
What is the capacity of LTM?
Thought to be Unlimited
7+/-2 bits of information
Define duration.
The way in which information is stored / put into / processed into memory,
How much can be held in memory, in terms of bits or chunks of information.
How long a memory lasts in a store, before it is no longer available for recall.
Who Conducted STM Duration Research?
Peterson & Peterson
Baddeley & Hitch
Jacobs
How was the duration of STM investigated?
Through having to recall increasingly longer sequences of numbers immediately
Through trying to recall your high school class mates
By learning a trigram and then having counting back in 3s for varying lengths of time and then recalling the trigram
What is the duration of STM?
18 to 30 seconds
32 to 64 seconds
Who researched the duration of LTM?
(a)
How did Bahrick investigate the duration of LTM?
Through having to recall increasingly longer sequences of numbers immediately
By getting participants to free recall names of classmates, identifying classmates from list of names and photos.
By learning a trigram and then having counting back in 3s for varying lengths of time and then recalling the trigram
What is the duration of LTM?
Weeks
A Lifetime
Minutes
Who Devised the Multi-Store Model?
Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch
What is the Duration of the Sensory Register?
1-2 seconds
5-10 seconds
250ms
30 seconds
Who Devised the Working Memory Model?
What makes up the Phonological Loop?
The visual cache and phonological store
The central executive and the episodic buffer.
The visual cache and inner scribe
The phonological store and the articulatory process.
What is the Central Executive?
Attentional process that monitors incoming data.
Allocates data to certain slave systems.
Processes acoustic information
What is the Phonological Loop?
Deals with auditory info, both written and spoken.
Deals with visual information such as colour and shape
Allocates information to subsystems
What is the Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad?
Stores visual or spatial information.
Stores acoustic information
Helps sequence information taken from the LTM
What two things make up the Visuospatial Sketchpad?
Articulatory process and phonological store
Central executive and episodic buffer
Visual cache and episodic buffer
Organise these into the different types of LTM
What is the captial of france?
The largest planet in the solar system
Who wrote 'Romeo and Juliet'
What you ate for dinner last night
Where you went on your last holiday
What you did for your last birthday.
How to ride a bike
How to write
Tying shoelaces
What is episodic memory?
What is semantic memory?
What is procedural memory?
Procedural memory is a conscious memory system used for memorising information.
Procedural memory is a type of implicit memory that relates to how you do something
