18 - 30 seconds

17
Q

AO1 Focus

What is the duration of the long term memory?

A

Lifetime

18
Q

AO1 Focus

What is the capacity of the long term?

A

Infinite

19
Q

AO3 Focus

What did Baddeley find?

This will form the first E of your PEEL

A

Participants mixed up words that sound similar when using their STM, and mixed up words with similar meanings when using their LTM

20
Q

AO3 Focus

Why does this support the multi-store model of memory?

This will form your Link of your PEEL

A

It shows the STM codes acoustically, LTM codes semantically - so are therefore seperate stores

This will form your Link of your PEEL

21
Q

AO3 Focus

What was Clive Wearing unable to do?

This will form the first E of your PEEL

A

Cannot transfer from information from his STM to his LTM

This will form the first E of your PEEL

22
Q

AO3 Focus

How do we know that Clive Wearing cannot transfer information from his STM to his LTM?

This will form the second E of your PEEL

A

When his wife re-enters the room after leaving just seconds before, he greets her as if is the first time he has seen her in years

This will form the second E of your PEEL

23
Q

AO3 Focus

Why does Clive Wearing support the multi-store model of memory?

This will form the Link of your PEEL

A

Shows the STM and LTM are seperate stores and information flows in a linear way

This will form the Link of your PEEL

24
Q

DISCUSSION Focus

How can we criticse the case study of Clive Wearing

A

Low population validity

25
Q

DISCUSSION Focus

Why is it difficult to generalise the findings of Clive Wearing?

A

As other peoples memory may operate differently

26
Q

DICUSSION Focus

What finding from Clive Wearing is difficult to generalise to the population?

A

Information flows in a linear way

27
Q

AO1 Focus

Why may information in the sensory register decay?

A

As it is unattended to, and has a limited duration

28
Q

AO1 Focus

Why may information decay in the short term memory?

A

As it has not been rehearsed, and the STM has a limited duration

29
Q

AO1 Focus

Why will information not decay in the LTM?

A

As it has a duration that lasts a lifetime

30
Q

AO1 Focus

How can the duration of the STM be extended?

A

Maintenance rehearsal

31
Q

AO1 Focus

Why would information be retrieved from the LTM to the STM?

A

In order to give a response
