coding, capacity & duration Flashcards
define capacity of memory
the amount of information that can be held/ stored
what did Jacob’s (1887) test?
capacity of short term memory
what did George Miller (1956) investigate?
spam of memory and chunking
Miller’s magic 7!!!
define duration of memory
the length of time information can be held
what did Peterson and Peterson want to test?
the duration of short term memory
define coding of memory
the format/ process in which information is stored in the various memory stores
what did Baddeley investigate (1966a, 1966b) ?
the way in which stm encodes (acoustically) and the way in which ltm encodes (semantically)
who proposed the multi store model?
Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968)
what are the three main parts of the multi store model?
sensory register, short term memory, long term memory
who is Clive Wearing?
has a sever case of amnesia. Transfer from stm to ltm badly affected
who is KF?
motorcycle accident. Supports multi store model because shows separate stores for stm and ltm
who proposed the working memory model?
Baddeley and Hitch (1974)
name the elements of the working memory model
central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketch pad, episodic buffer
