Chapter 5: Memory Flashcards
What are the three different types of memory?
Sensory Memory
Short Term Memory
Long Term Memory
How long does sensory memory last?
A Fraction of a second
How much can we perceive in an instant
How long does Short Term Memory Last?
From a Few Sectionds to a minute?
How long does long term memory?
Lasts for a long time
What is the capcity of short term memory?
Limited
What is the capcity of Long Term Memory?
Unlimited Capacity
What is Sensory Memory?
A Very Brief Retention of information from the senses
What is the Capacity of Sensory Memory?
Large but very fleeting and fragile
What are the five modality’s of sensory memory?
Haptic
Echoic
Iconic
Olfactory
Gustatory
What is Haptic Memory?
Sense of touch memory
What is echoic Memory?
Hearing Memory
What is iconic Memory?
Sight Memory
What is olfactory Memory?
Smell Memory
What is gustatory memory?
Taste Memory
What was Sperling
He Scientifically investigated the capacity and duration of ICONIC memory.
What is Whole Report Procedure?
What are the two procedures sperling came up with for studying iconic memory?
WHOLEReport Procedure
PARTIAL Report Procedure
What is Partial Report Procedure?
What did Spierling studies indicate?
Sensory Memory is very extensive but decays at a very rapid rate
What Report procedure allowed participants to recall more information in spierlings studies?
Partial Report Procedure
What is Short Term Memory? Short?
The Temporary System for storing and manipulating information that is actively being used in the moment
Why is STM reffered to as the Working Memory?
It is the memory we operate off during moments of activity
What is the Chunking? Hypothesis?
The Capacity of STM does not depend on the amount of information’s but on how information can be grouped into “chunks.”
What is Millers “7 +2+ rule
The capcity of STM is = 5-9 Chubks
