Memory Key Words

Question 1

Sensory memory

Answer 1

• Store where information can be recalled

- Briefly held.

Question 2

STM

Answer 2

• information conscious
• limited duration - max 30 secs
• limited capacity
• coded acoustically / visually

Question 3

LTM

Answer 3

• permanent information storage
• unlimited duration
• unlimited capacity
• coded semantically (meaningful reputation)

Question 4

Primary effect

Answer 4

• Remembering words from a list
• The first few
• Stored in LTM

Question 5

Recency effect

Answer 5

• Words remembered at the end of the list
• Stored in STM
• (30 seconds max)

Question 6

Miller

Answer 6

• Chunking
• Grouping things together
• Easier to recall from STM

Question 7

Evaluations

Answer 7

• Multi Store model supported by primary and recency effect
• Does not explain the complex process of memory
• Simplistic
• Focuses more on the STM
• MSM
• Other explanations of memory
• Separate stores
• Supported by amnesia cases
• Focuses on structure,not process

Question 8

WWM

Answer 8

• Baddely and Hitch

- Expands the process of the STM

Question 9

Central executive

Answer 9

• Decides what sensory information is attended to and what isn’t
• Directs information into the night slave systems
• 1 strand of into a time
• Limited
• Device divides attention(talking and driving)
• Baddely (1996)

Question 10

Phonological loop

Answer 10

• Auditory information
• Limited capacity (the amount of words spoken in two seconds)
• Baddely(1986)divided the phonological loop
• Articulatory pocess
• Keeps information in the PL through sub-vocal repetition
• Linked to speech production
• Primary acoustic store
• Stores words recently heard

Question 11

Question 14

Implicit

Answer 14

Question 15

Episodic

Answer 15

• personal record of experiences
• EG:birthday parties
• affected by how coded information is
• distinguished between real events and imagination
• auto biography
• pre frontal cortex
• coding

Question 16

Semantic CTM

Answer 16

• contains memory on knowledge,facts,names(etc)
• semantic memories more sustained
