Q

Explain short term sensory store?

A
  • information in the form of stimuli / cues are taken in from environment using senses
  • info passes into short term sensory store
  • help up to 1 sec, limitless
  • SELECTIVE ATTENTION takes place, most relevant info is remembered and all irrelevant info forgotten
  • ## RELEVENT info is passed to short term memory

Q

Explain short term memory?

A
  • known as workspace and is where info from the STSS and LTM is bought together and a decision is made on what to do
  • based on situation, STM retrieves info from LTM about how to respond
  • info held for about 30 seconds, remeber 5-9 bits of info
  • continually rehearsing/ practising info helps it move from STM to LTM
  • chuncking can also be used

Q

Explain long term memory?

A
  • where motor programs are stored ( how to ride a bike, swim)
  • well learned/ repeatedly practised skills stored her permanently
  • it is limitless
  • info retrieved when needed
  • info received from STM, performer uses information from LTM and links with current movement from STM

Q

Strengths of multi-store memory model ?

A
  • simple to understand
  • realistic and explains how people deal with large amounts of info
  • explains how those with brain damage can suffer from dysfunctional memory
  • long term memory explains how performer can do skills havent done in a while
  • is true that info repeated / chunked more likely to be stored in LTM
