Answer 1

Analysing own conscious mental process

Question 2

What is encoding

Answer 2

Interpreting incoming information

Question 3

What is the serial position effect

Answer 3

*Primacy effect - Items of the start of list go into LTM , easy to remember
*recency effect - items at the end go into STM, easy to remember
Items in the middle forgotten

Question 4

Supporting evidence for multi-store model

Answer 4

HM - impaired LMT, intact STM
KF - impaired STM, intact LTM can’t make new memory

Question 5

Weakness off multi store model

Answer 5

Ignores level of processing
