Q

Phonological loop

A

Auditory info
Phonological store: Inner ear
Articulatory process: Inner voice
Limited capacity of what can be said in 2 sec

17
Q

Visuo-spatial sketchpad

A

Inner eye
Visual cache: store of form/colour
Inner scribe: store of relationships between objects

18
Q

Episodic buffer

A

Info is integrated and stored
(Added in 2000)

19
Q

WMM AO3: KF case study

A

+
Brain injury > STM issues
Only verbal functioning affected (visual not)
Separate stores

20
Q

WMM AO3: Better understanding of STM than the MSM

A

+
More in-depth model explaining more functions & a non-linear process

21
Q

WMM AO3: Central executive is a vague concept

A

-
Undeveloped explanation of function

22
Q

WMM AO3: Evidence

A

+
Baddeley
Ptpts: 2 tasks
2 visual, 2 visual, visual & verbal
^^^ Better results

23
Q

Types of LTM: Episodic

A

Memory of experiences/specific events
Time-stamped
Recalled consciously
Autobiographical

24
Q

Types of LTM: Semantic

A

Facts, meanings & concepts about the world
Not time-stamped
Recalled consciously
Not autobiographical

25
Q

Types of LTM: Procedural

A

Unconscious memory of skills
Not time-stamped
Not recalled consciously
Not autobiographical

26
Q

Types of LTM AO3: Clive Wearing CS

A

+
Retrograde amnesia
Suggests more than one type
Semantic + procedural in tact

27
Q

Types of LTM AO3: RWA

A

+
Modern cognitive neuroscience brain scanning techniques
Allowed researchers to study brain
fMRIs = identify which memory type is associated with which area

28
Q

Types of LTM AO3: Support from neuroimaging research

A

+
Tulving
Ptpts perform tasks whilst having PET scan
S memories involved left prefrontal cortex
E = right PFC

29
Q

Explanations for forgetting

A

Interference theory
Retrieval failure

30
Q

Proactive interference

A

Old info interferes with new

31
Q

Retroactive interference

A

New info interferes with old

32
Q

McGeoch & McDonald study (IT)

A

Studied retro int by changing similarity of material
Learn list until 100% accuracy
Synonyms, antonyms, unrelated, 3 digits, consonant syl, no list
(F) synonyms (similar) = worst recall

33
Q

Effects of similarity (IT)

A

Interference more likely if 2 pieces of info are similar
Response competition

34
Q

Effects of time sensitivity (IT)

A

Interference less likely if large gap between learning info

35
Q

Interference theory AO3: Artificial tasks

A

-
Lacks mundane realism

36
Q

Interference theory AO3: Evidence from lab studies

A

+
Control effects of irrelevant inferences
High validity

37
Q

Interference theory AO3: Real-life studies

A

+
Baddeley & Hitch
Rugby players
Recall of teams played week by week that season
Number of games played in meantime recalled better if no more had been played since 3w ago
