They can be repeated

45

Q

At the start of the MSM, where do we get stimuli from?

A

54
Q

Stimuli from the environment enters what store?

A

Sensory Register

55
Q

What are the two main types of coding in the sensory register?

A

Iconic (visual)

Echoic (sound)

56
Q

For information to move from the sensory register to STM, what has to happen?

A

Pay attention

57
Q

To extend the duration of STM, what is the technique?

A

Maintenance rehersal

58
Q

How do we get information to move from the STM to LTM?

A

Prolonged Rehearsal

59
Q

Keyterm for bringing information back from LTM to STM?

A

Retrieval

60
Q

When information has been retrieved to the STM, what can happen?

A

Response/Remembering

61
Q

The sensory register recieves?

A

Stimuli from the environment

62
Q

Iconic & Echoic are the 2 main ways that the ……… code.

A

sensory register

63
Q

Attention is needed to move information from?

A

Sensory register to STM

64
Q

In which store can we only remember information from?

A

STM

65
Q

Maintenance rehearsal is used to?

A

Extend duration of STM

66
Q

Prolonged rehearsal is used to?

A

Move information from STM to LTM

67
Q

Retrieval is the process of moving information from?

A

LTM to STM

68

Grouping items together to reduce the number of items is known as?

A

Chunking

70
Q

A

Clive Wearing

71
Q

AO3: Who conducted research to support STM & LTM are separate stores?

A

Baddeley

72
Q

AO3: What is the criticism of using a case study such as Clive Wearing to support the idea of the MSM?

A

Low population validity

73
Q

AO3: If a case study has low population validity, what is it hard to do?

A

Generalise the results to target population

74
Q

AO3: Who had poor recall for digits read aloud to him but better recall when saw digits visually supporting the idea of STM & LTM being unitary?

A

Patient KF

75
Q

AO3: Clive greets his wife as if it’s the first time he’s seen her in years despite her being in the room seconds before supports what idea of the MSM?

A

He can’t transfer info from STM to LTM
