Question 15

9) if info is rehearsed enough will pass to the

Answer 15

LTM

Question 16

10) LTM is. Potentially permanent store for information that has

Answer 16

Been rehearsed for a long time

Question 17

11) the LTM has a capacity that is ………… and that information can last ………… it codes information ………

Answer 17

Potentially unlimited / a lifetime / semantically

Question 18

12) to recall information, it must be transferred from the LTM to the stm in a process called?

Answer 18

Retrieval

Question 19

What kind of research supports the idea that the stm and LTM are different unitary stores?

Answer 19

Baddeley

Question 20

What did Baddeley find

Answer 20

Ppts mixed similar sounding words using their stm but mixed similar meaning words using their LTM

Question 21

What does Baddeleys study suggest

Answer 21

The stm codes acoustically and the LTM semantically

Question 22

Why does Baddeleys research support msm

Answer 22

Supports view that stm and LTM are separate stores

Question 23

What case study supports msm

Answer 23

Clive wearing

Question 24

What did Clive wearing suffer from

Answer 24

Amnesia

Question 25

What could Clive wearing not do

Answer 25

Transfer infrosmyion from his stm to LTM

Question 26

When clives wife renters a room after leaving seconds before, what does he do

Answer 26

Greet her as if it is the fist time hes seen her in years

Question 27

How does Clive wearing support msm

Answer 27

Shows the stm and LTM are separate stores and info must flow thorough in a linear way, first to stm then to LTM

Question 28

Why is the case study to support msm flawed? WHOLE PEEL

Answer 28

Low pop val
Just one person
Unusual illness, can’t generalise to wider pop whose memory may operate differently
Limits support

Question 29

Why is the msm too simplistic

Answer 29

States stm and LTM are unitary stores

Question 30

What did shalice and Warrington do that suggests msm is too simplistic

Answer 30

Patient kf, suffered from amnesia,

Question 31

what could kf do and not do

Answer 31

Poor recall when digits were red aloud, but better when he saw the visually

Question 32

What does shalice and Warrington’s research suggest?

Answer 32

Must be different sores in the stm, one to process visual one to process auditory information, casting doubt on msm
