Q

What did the level of processing model find?

A

Gave participants easy anagram, and complex anagrams of words to be remembered

Participants who work the hardest to solve anagrams better remembered the word

Q

3 level of processing

A
  1. Structural: words are learnt by remembering their physical features
  2. Phonemic: words are learnt by sounds
  3. Semantic: words are encoded by their meaning which allows them to be placed into our semantic network.

Q

3 roles of Central Executive

A

Inhibition - screening out irrelevant material
Switching - changing attention from one item to another
Updating - modifying items brought from LTM before recommitting them to memory through episodic buffer, creating a process of accommodation of the semantic network

Q

Elaborative rehearsal

A

give meaning to information and link it to previous information.

deep method of encoding - goes through the semantic network so more likely to remember information this way

associating between old and new memories help locate and retrieve information later

Q

3 stores of memory (Multi-store model)

A

Sensory
Short-term
Long-term

21
Q

Capacity and duration of iconic memory

A

Capacity - unlimited
Duration - 0.3 seconds

22
Q

Capacity and duration of echoic memory

A

Capacity - unlimited
Duration - 3-4 seconds

23
Q

Different types of long term memory

A

Procedural (implicit) and Declarative (explicit)

24
Q

2 types of declarative memory

A

Episodic (episodes or experiences)

Semantic (facts or general knowledge)

25
Q

3 Strengths of Baddeley and Hitch (Working model of memory)

A

It’s been supported by dual task studies

Extends upon Atkinson and Shiffrin’s model by going into further depth about the stores in short-term memory (there’s auditory and visual memories)

This notion of multiple stores is backed up by the KF case study where KF suffered brain damage to his short-term memory but only affected certain sensory stores.

26
Q

4 Weaknesses of Baddeley and Hitch model

A

Model suggests that the visuospatial sketchpad is linked to spatial memory yet blind people who have never seen before have good spatial memory

Little evidence on the central executive and how/if it works

Only involves STM so its not a comprehensive model of memory as a whole.

Does not include changes in processing ability that result from practise or time
