Memory

Question 1

Which theory is Atkinson and Shiffren’s?

Answer 1

Multi store model of memory

Question 2

How does the MSM model work?

Answer 2

Sensory store–>Short term long term memory

Question 3

How to transfer between stages?(MSM)

Answer 3

• Pay ATTENTION from sensory to short term
• REHEARSAL is required to store in long term
• RETRIEVAL to move back to stm

Question 4

Sensory store

Answer 4

• Initial stimuli from extrenal sources
• Stimuli identification stage
• SELECTIVE ATTENTION occurs

Question 5

Short Term Memory

Answer 5

• 7 plus or minus 2 items of memory
• REHEARSE to enhance performance
• ‘Chunking’ helps the storing of information

Question 6

Long Term memory

Answer 6

• Limitless capacity
• can become motor skills
• rehearsal leads to automatic

Question 7

MSM Atkinson and Shiffren’s evaluation

Answer 7

Adv:
- Simplifies process 
- Clear distinction between LTM and STM 
Dis:
- Too simple, doesn't show memory types
- Can't prove LTM and STM distinction

Question 8

Craik and Lockhart’s- Levels of processing

Answer 8

Structural –>Shallow
Phonetic –> STM —> LTM
Semantic –> Deep

Question 9

What is meant be structural, Phonetic, Semantic?

Answer 9

Structural- paying attention at the look
Phonetic- attention to the sound
Semantic- actual meaning of information

Question 10

LOP evaluation?

Answer 10

Adv:

• Explains if understood we remember
• Considers the more we consider the more we retain

Question 11

Optimising

Answer 11

MSM - Retrieval eg. tennis player physically/mentally rehearse
LOP - meaningfulness, more relevant eg. coach highlight previous tactics
LOP - If linked, memory enhanced eg. teach new skill as adaptation of previous

Question 12

Avoiding overload

Answer 12

MSM- New info must ‘sink in’ eg. coach gives few points
MSM- Grouping or chunking eg. trampolinist remember
LOP -Performer remember visual representation eg. coach demonstrates visual
