Q

Episodic buffer

A

Allows us connect two stores together

17
Q

What does reconstructive memory suggest

A

Memory is broken down when stored then reconstructed when recalled

18
Q

Schema

A

Parcel of information based on our past experience that help us predict future events

19
Q

Confabulation

A

Details changed based on our schema to make a story make more sense

20
Q

Levelling

A

Memories shortened leaving out what isn’t important to our schema

21
Q

Rationalisation

A

Adding details in order to make our schema make sense

22
Q

Individual difference schema

A

A parcel of information based on past experiences to help us predict future experiences

Schemas inform the way we Interpret things for example boy could remember a dog and think something cute but another boy could remember a dog and think somethings scary

23
Q

Individual differences : memory ability

A

Some ppl maybe able to store more things as they have a higher capacity
Some ppl maybe able to retrieve memories easily
Some ppl maybe to have a higher capacity in ther working memory
Ppl with autobiographical episodic memory maybe able to recall past events in higher detail

24
Q

Developmental difference: languages

A

Language we are raised in can impact how we process and recall information
For example recalling a story about winter UK- rainy
Finland- snow

Individual differences and developmental differences
Memory ability Schema Language

Tulving memory model
Semantic / episodic Time referencing Spatial referencing Retrieval and forgetting
27
What does tulving memory model suggest
Long term memory is either encoded semantic or epsodic
