Memory AO3 + Psychologists Flashcards
MSM
Atkinson and Schiffrin
Capacity of STM
Jacobs - Digit Span
Increasing capacity of STM
Miller - Magical number 7+-2
Duration of STM
Peterson & Peterson - Trigrams
Duration of LTM
Bahrik - Yearbook
Coding of STM & LTM
Baddeley - acoustic and semantic lists
Limiting case studies of MSM (2)
H.M - surgery for epilepsy, could not rehearse. Kept all LTM prior to accident.
K.F - motorbike accident, STM capacity was now 1, kept all LTM prior to accident.
Supports for MSM
Beardsley + Squire - brain scanning. Different parts of brain used for STM and LTM, supporting difference.
Limitations for MSM (2)
Craik & Tulving - deep processing. Rehearsal does not guarantee storage.
Reductionist - based on computer model.
Working Memory
Baddeley & Hitch
Supporting case study for WM
K.F - speaking, capacity is 1. Written, capacity not damaged - supports different sub components of WM
Support for WM
Hitch & Baddeley - dual tasking experiment, visual task + repeating digits
Limitations for WM (2)
Cannot be generalised as brain damage.
Mechanistic reductionism - computer.
Supports for Types of LTM (3)
Different parts of brain are used for each type.
Differences between implicit and explicit - H.M learnt new procedural memories, Corkin had procedural memories appear in LTM.
Hodges & Patterson, Irish - distinguishing episodic and semantic, alzheimers patients.
Studies for Interference (3)
Muller - nonsense syllables
Underwood - meta analysis
McGeoch & McDonald - List A and List B, synonyms or not.
