Sensory register
the memory store of each of our five senses (not under cognitive control, an automatic response)
Short term memory
the limited capacity memory store
long term memory
the permanent memory store
coding
the way in which information is changed and stored in memory
capacity
the maximum amount of information that can be retained in memory
duration
the length of time a memory can be held for, before it is forgotten
coding for SR
modal specific
research for coding in the SR
Crowder (1993) -different sensory stores in the SR
capacity of SR
high capacity
Research for capacity of SR
Sperling- 3x4 grid of letters paired with a tone. recall of letters is high .: capacity of SR is high
duration of SR
half a second
research for duration of SR
Walsh and Thompson (1978) duration of SR is half a second and decreases with age
coding of STM
acoustic
research for coding in STM
Baddeley (1966) - more mistakes on recalling similar sounding words than different sounding words
