Question 2

How is input detected (3 ways)

Answer 2

Auditory, visually, proprioception

Question 3

State 2 facts about sensory memory

Answer 3

1. Help for very short amount of time

2. Only transferred to STM if selectively attended to

Question 4

State 3 facts about selective attention

Answer 4

1. Filters out useless information
2. Helps concentrate on important information
3. Prevents information overload

Question 5

State 3 facts about STM

Answer 5

1. Can hold 5-9 bits of info
2. Held for 30 seconds
3. DCR process - new stimuli compared to LTM for similarities and then a response/recall is given

Question 6

State 3 facts about LTM

Answer 6

1. Successful motor programmes are stored there
2. More rehearsed the stronger the memory is stored
3. Return and retrieve info with STM

Question 7

Answer 7

Working memory

Question 8

Answer 8

Rehearsal

Question 9
