Memory- extra bits Flashcards
Who proposed the MSM?
Atkinson and Shiffrin
Maintenance rehearsal
Repeat material over and over
Keep/maintains in STM as long as rehearse
if rehearse long enough- passes to LTM
Recalling information from LTM
No memories recalled straight from LTM but has to be transferred to STM by retrieval and then recalled from there
HM case study
Brain surgery to relieve epilepsy
Removed hippocampus from both brain hemispheres
Affected his memory
Could not recall events that occurred just hour earlier - LTM damaged
But performed well in tests of immediate memory span so STM fine
KF case study
Amnesia
Couldn’t recall digits said to him out loud but could remember if read himself
Suggests different types of STM
Elaborative rehearsal
Link info to existing knowledge/ think about what it means - transfers into LTM
Who proposed different types of LTM?
Tulving
Declarative memory
Memories consciously recalled
Episodic and semantic
Non-declarative memory
Recall without conscious awareness
Procedural memory
Clive Wearing case study
Severe amnesia - damaged hippocampus
STM and parts of LTM damaged
Cannot remember what happened a few minutes ago
Can still play piano well but will forget that he just played something
Suggests different types of LTM for different types of info
Who proposed the WMM?

Who proposed different types of LTM?
