Final for Memory Flashcards
What is the Link between Context Dependent Memory and TAP?
Memory should be good when encoding and retrieval processes are same.
Purpose of Gooden and Baddeley’s study
To examine physical context and its influence on memory using a 2 BY 2 Design
Theory that assumes that the context present during study and recall can influence memory.
Context Dependent Memory- Physical Context
Physical environment in which ppl study on a n attempt to recall something
Physical Context
Theory that assumes memory is influenced by the internal state of ppl. at study and test
State Dependent Memory
Freud’s Repression and Stressful Events Theory:
Ppl. repress stressful events in memory.
Results of the Gooden and Baddeley’s study of context- dependent memory (study and test)
Recall was
High Recall=study beach & recall beach
Low Recall=study on water & recall on beach
Low Recall=study beach & recall on water
High Recall=study on water &recall on water
Encoding Specificity Principle
The interaction between context dependent memory and retrieval cues
Link between Context Dependent Memory and ESP
Results of the Bartlett study of state-dependent memory (study and test)
High Recall=study happy state & recall happy state
Low Recall=study neutral state &recall happy state
Low Recall= study happy state & recall neutral state
High Recall=study neutral state & recall neutral state
Predictions of Bartlett study
Memory should be good when internal state is same during study and test
Purpose of Levinger and Clark Study
To test Freud’s theory of Repression & Stressful events
That is people repress stressful events in memory
Procedure of Levinger and Clark Study
Part. are presented with a cue (stressful or non-stressful) and then asked to say the first word that comes to mind.
Predictions of Levinger and Clark Study
(DV1) RTs/GRSs -Slow=Neg. cues (stressful) -Fast=Neu. cues (non-stressful) CONFIRMED! (DV2) Jung's Cued Recall Task Focus Recall High=Neu. cues Focus Recall Low=Neg. cues CONFIRMED!
Results of Levinger and Clark Study
Confirmed predictions
Walker’s Theory on Stress vs. Freud’s predictions
Effect of stress on memory depends on the DELAY b/w experiencing an event and recalling that event
P>=C
P<=No C b/c interfering with the encoding of the event b/c they are stressing at the time
Visual Memory
Component that stores and processes visual info. notably non-verbal visual images
Memory disorder with the inability to remember things that occurred before the event that caused the amnesia
Retrograde Amnesia
Procedure that involves shocking the brain and induces retrograde amnesia (often used with patients of clinical depression who are not responsive to traditional therapy
ECS
The component of the loop that stores speech code (speech we hear and text we read, after its converted into speech code)
Phonological Store
Has two functions, the conversion function and the rehearsal function
Articulatory Control Process
Convert text into speech code, and to transfer that speech code to the Phonological Store where it can be consciously analyzed.
Conversion function of the ACP
rehearse speech code that is in the phonological store, to prevent it from being forgotten
Rehearsal Function of the ACP
Ability to focus on items that sound similar or different from each other
Phonological Similarity Effect
Focus of the PSE
Interference of similar sounding items
