Question 16

Transferred to STM from LTM

Answer 16

Retrieval

Question 17

Came up with the types of LTM

Answer 17

Tulving

Question 18

The three types of LTM

Answer 18

Episodic
Semantic
Procedural

Question 19

Episodic memory

Answer 19

Our ability to recall events from our lives

Time-stamped

Question 20

Semantic memory

Answer 20

Our knowledge of the world

Not time-stamped

Question 21

Procedural memory

Answer 21

Our memory for actions and skills

Can recall without conscious awareness or a lot of effort

Question 22

Working memory model describes

Answer 22

Short term memory

Question 23

Parts of WMM

Answer 23

Central executive
Phonological loop
Visuo-spatial sketchpad
Episodic buffer

Question 24

Central executive

Answer 24

Monitors incoming data, makes decisions, and allocates slave systems to tasks
Limited processing capacity

Question 25

Phonological loop

Answer 25

Deals with auditory information and preserves the order in which information arrives Phonological store stores the words you hear Articulatory process allows maintenance rehearsal, capacity is about 2 seconds of what you could say

Question 26

Visuo-spatial sketchpad

Answer 26

Stores visual and spatial information Limited capacity, about 3 or 4 objects according to Baddeley Visual cache stores visual data Inner scribe records the arrangement of objects in the visual field

Question 27

Episodic buffer

Answer 27

``` Temporary store for information Integrates the visual, spatial and verbal information processed by the other stores Maintains a sense of time sequencing Storage component of the CE Limited capacity of about 4 chunks Links working memory to LTM ```

Question 28

Types of interference

Answer 28

Proactive | Retroactive

Question 29

Proactive interference

Answer 29

Occurs when an older memory interferes with a newer one

Question 30

Retroactive interference

Answer 30

Occurs when a newer memory interferes with an older one

Question 31

Interference occurs in

Answer 31

LTM

Question 32

The encoding specificity principle was discovered by

Answer 32

Tulving

Question 33

ESP

Answer 33

If a cue is to help us recall information it has to be present at encoding and at retrieval. If the cues available at encoding and retrieval are different there will be some forgetting

Question 34

Types of cues

Answer 34

External cues- context dependent forgetting | Internal cues- state dependent cues

Question 35

Cognitive interview was invented by

Answer 35

Fisher and Geiselman

Question 36

Cognitive interview

Answer 36

1. Report everything 2. Reinstate the context 3. Reverse the order 4. Change the perspective

Question 37

Schema

Answer 37

What is expected in a scenario

Question 38

Enhanced cognitive interview

Answer 38

Focuses on the social dynamics: - When to establish eye contact and when not to - Reducing eyewitness anxiety - Minimising distractions - Getting the witness to speak slowly - Asking open ended questions
