Q

According to the multi store model how is LTM stored?

A

info reaches our senses from the environment and enters memory system through sensory register

Q

What is elaborative rehearsal?

A

when you think about the meaning of the info in STM
it becomes semantically coded and goes to LTM

Q

What are the key claims of MSM

A

each store is unitary - one store with no separate parts

stores are separate to others - features are very different, one can be damaged when the other is not

Q

What is the sensory register?

A

the store for our 5 senses

senses are engaged when were exposed to a stimulus

its the SR which allows you to remeber a stimuli after exposure ended

Q

What is the capacity of LTM?

A

Unlimited

19
Q

What is the duration of LTM?

A

Lifelong

20
Q

what is coding of the LTM?

A

semantic

21
Q

what are the features of the working memory?

A
  • STM is not unitary but has separate components
  • each component processes in store different types of information
  • Each has limited storage capacity
22
Q

What are the four components of the STM in the working memory model?

A

Central executive
Phonological loop
Visuo Spatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer

23
Q

What is the central executive?

A

organiser of the STM

  • Attends all incoming information and temporarily store information
  • Decides what pieces of information to send to the different components
  • Limited capacity
24
Q

What is the Phonological loop?

A
  • deals with auditory info (acoustic)
  • active during verbal tasks

phonological store
articulatory loop

25
Q

What is the phonological store?

A

inner ear
- stores words u hear

26
Q

What is the articulatory loop?

A

inner voice

allows maintenance rehearsal
- capacity is two seconds

27
Q

What is the Visuo-spatial sketchpad?

A

stores visual and spatial information

active during visual tasks
- involved in pattern recognition and perception of movement

visual cache
inner scribe

28
Q

What is the visual cache?

A

stores visual data

29
Q

what is the inner scribe?

A

inner eye

  • records the arrangement of objects in the visual field
30
Q

what is the episodic buffer?

A

acts as a temporary back up store (storage components for central executive)

  • processes info that requires two senses at the same time
  • recalls info from LTM to integrate into STM
31
Q

What is episodic LTM?

A

LTM for personal events, when things occured

  • memories have to be retrieved consciously and w/ effort
32
Q

What is episodic LTM?

A

LTM for personal events, when things occured

  • memories have to be retrieved consciously and w/ effort
33
Q

What is semantic LTM?

A

LTM for our knowledge of the world, facts and etc

  • retrieved w/ effort
34
Q

What is procedural LTM?

A

LTM for our knowledge of actions and skills, e.g riding a bike

  • recalled without making a conscious effort
35
Q

What brain region is associated with Episodic LTM?

A
  • Hippocampus
  • other areas of the temporal lobe
  • frontal lobe
36
Q

What brain region is associated with semantic LTM?

A

temporal lobe

37
Q

What brain region is associated with procedural LTM?

A
  • cerebellum
  • moror cortex
  • basal ganglia & limbic system
38
Q

What is interference?

A

one memory blocking the recall of another causing one or both to be forgotten a
