Q

Sensory register research

A

Sperling - pps shown 3 rows 4 letter each for 0.5 secs immediately recall whole grid or a specific row

Recall 4-5 letters on whole grid only 3 from a row

Show sensory register large capacity

Q

Research for duration of short term memory

A

Peterson + Peterson - pps shown 3 letter tiagrams then a director task for 3-18 seconds
80% recall after 3 seconds 10% 18 seconds
Show duration has effect on STM

Q

Strength of multi store model

A

Clive wearing had brain damage from amnesia can’t transfer into to LTM

shows MSM is sequential to transfer info from STM - LTM

Q

Weakness of Multi store model

A

Contradictory unitary nature of STM

patient KF motorbike accident struggles with STM but LTM fine remember visual images not sound

Shows STM not a single storage system MSM limited explanation

Q

Phonological loop

A

Auditory info, has two subcomponents

Articular control process - sub vocal rep of item in phonological store

Q

Strength of working memory model

A

Dule task support separate existence of visuo spatial sketch pad

Baddelys - difficult to do 2 visual tasks than one verbal and visual both visual take compete for same slave system

Show must be separate slave system process visual input

17
Q

Weakness of working memory model

A

Unsatisfactory don’t explain anything

Need to be more specific than just attention consist of separate component

Not a full explanation

18
Q

Types of long term memory

A

Episodic - experienced events
Semantic knowledge
Procedural - skills
