memory 2 Flashcards
what is the phonological similarity effect
the serial recall of list of visually presented words is worse when the words are phonologically similar
phonologically words cause ………
confusion
what is the articulatory rehersal process linked with
speech production and access to the store
whast the word effect length
recall lists of words better for shorter words than longer words
what is the phonological comprised of?
- a passive phonological store directly concerned with speech perception
AND - an articulatory rehearsal process linked with speech production and giving access to the store
- noted differentiation between visual and auditorily presented words
what did Logie 1995 suggest the visuo spacial sketchpad is comprised of
- Central executive
- inner scribe
- visual cache
what does Logie 1995’s visual cache mean
it stores information of visual form and colour
what does Logie’s 1995 inner scribe mean
it processes spatial and movement information, reherses information in the visual cache and draws upon the CE
what is logie’s 1995 pictorial studys inner scribe purpose
a rehearsel mechanism
what does the corsi blocks test a measure of?
spatial working memory
what happens in corsi blocks test
- doctor taps numbered blocks and patient has to copy exact numbers in order until they are unable to
what is the visual patterns test
try to remember how many squares are black and keep putting them in until capacity reached for memory
2 types of tests for visual working memory
- corsi blocks test
- visual patterns test
what is dysexecutive syndrome
a person who has frontal lobe brain damage, causes them to behave like they lack a ‘control system’
whats stroop task
- asked of colour of word on colour words
- causes conflict we are forced to over ride
- a core element of Central executive work
what is mental synthesis
the ability to create mental images or concepts by combining different elements or pieces of information
what activity is suggested to happen in the episodic buffer
mental synthesis
whats the episodic buffer
seen as a space of storage capacity
- decides whether to put information into STM or LTM
- use of mental sysnthesis involved
Schacter and Tulving argued there are 5 major memory systems
- working memory (in LTM)
- semantic memory
- episodic memory
- the perceptual representation system
- procedural memory
what is episodic memory
- remembering coherent episodes or events in context of time
- recalling events
what is semantic memory
- remembering facts and knowledge about world
what is autobiographical memory
- is the recollection of personal experiences and events that have occurred in an individual’s life, including episodic memories of specific events, as well as associated emotions, contextual details, and autobiographical knowledge.
what 4 things make up baddeley’s autobiographical memory model
- semantic memory
- episodic memory
- autobiographical memory
- a recollective component
examples of declarative memory
- episodic
- semantic
what is non declarative memory known as
implicit memory
what is declarative memory also known as
explicit memory
how does baddeley describe the episodic buffer and why buffer?
- a system that stores info
- fed by visa spatial system which links to central executive and plays crucial role in concious awareness
- a temportary store for info
