MEMORY Flashcards
Explain 3 factors of the Short Term Sensory Store?
All stimuli entering information processing systems are held for a short time (0.25-1 second).
Large capacity with a store for each sense
Perception mechanism determines which of the information is important and we direct our attention to this (selective attention).
Recognition aspect of perception
Explain 4 factors of Short Term Memory?
The ‘workplace’ Incoming information is compared to that previously learned and stored in the long term memory.
Capacity of 5-9 pieces for up 30 seconds.
The number can be increased by chunking bits of information together.
The period of time can be extended if you rehearse or repeat the information.
Information in the short-term memory that is considered to be important is practiced and rehearsed and by this process passes into the long term memory. Encoding
Explain 4 factors of Long Term Memory?
Holds the information that has been well practised. Capacity is thought to be limitless! and can be held permanently.
Motor programmes are stored in the long term memory as a result of practising them many times. (Riding a bike, swimming)
Long term memory is the recognition part of the perceptual process. We compare information from the long term memory to the new information we are recieving.
Advantages of the Multi store memory model?
Simplifies to aid understanding
Explains brain injuries
Disadvantages of the Multi store memory model?
Does not prove distinction between long or short term memory
Too simple does explain how we retain that information
STSS
Selective attention
Disregarding irrelevant cues
Processing information environment
Picking out the ball, team mates and opposition in Basketball
Short term
Perception information interpreted
Info is chunked
Comparison made with LTM
The speed at which the ball is coming to you, the angle, where your hands should be. All chunked together.
Performer thinks have they seen this before. How have I dealt with this, I performed a rebound.
Long term
Learned movements stored MP
Information encoded
Successful performances remembered
Remembering the MP for a rebound retrieving this. Adapted for the present moment, need to jump higher.
What is selective attention?
Selective attention enables the important information to be filtered and concentrated on it then passes through to the short term memory.
What are the 3 levels of processing and rank them of how shallow or deep?
Structural is shallow - words/somthing looks like
Phonetic is intermidate - what things sound like/ very superficial/way someone says it depends on how well you understand it
Semantic is deep - what words mean/ actually understanding why someone says it/ will be stored in the long term memory for the longest
What are the advantages of C&L model?
Explains that if we understand the information we are likely to remember it.
It explains why we remember some things much better and for much longer than others
What are the disadvantages of C&L model?
Does not explain what ‘DEEP’ means. A deep meaning of something to one person is not deep for another person.
Fails to provide a detailed account of why deep processing is so effective. Describes but does not explain why we remember some things and not others.
Name strategies that a performer could use to improve their memory
Practice/ repeat/ over learn
Make information as relevant and as simple so its easier to learn
Make the information morefun and enjoyable so you want to learn it more
Use mental rehearsal or imagery
Chuck/ group exercises and information together
Structural?
Acoustic ?
Semantic ?
Looks
Sounds
Means
