</Maintence>

Question 2

What is coding?

Answer 2

The formation in which information is stored in the memory

Question 3

What is the capacity?

Answer 3

The amount of information that can be held in the memory

Question 4

What is duration?

Answer 4

The length of time information can be hold

Question 5

Coding capacity and duration of the sensory register

Answer 5

Coding- Sense (eye= picture, ear=sound)
Capacity- High
Duration- less than 0.5 secs

Question 6

Capacity- Digit Span Technique

Answer 6

Measured digit span by reading out 4 digits than asking participants to write down the word after
If correct, researchers read out 5 digits and that continued until one was recalled incorrectly
The last correct answer indicates digit span

Question 7

Who did the digit span Technique?

Answer 7

Jacobs 1887

Question 8

What did the digit span Technique show?

Answer 8

9.3 for digits
7.3 for letters
Miller argued that we can only remember +7/-2

Question 9

Evaluation of digit span Technique

Answer 9

-lacked external validity
-wont be asked a string of letters or numbers in real life
-research has found similar results so it’s valid

Question 10

Who was Cowan?

Answer 10

-2001
Used other research that showed people only remember 4 chunks

Question 11

Duration- Peterson and Peterson

Answer 11

Participants were given a trigram(TGH) to remember
Then had to count back in 3s from a 3 digit number
They then had to recall the trigram

Question 12

Findings of Peterson and Peterson (P+P)

Answer 12

3 secs = 80% recall
6 secs = 50% recall
18 secs = less than 10% recall

Question 13

Evaluation of P+P

Answer 13

Lacks external validity
Remembering syllables doesn’t reflect how we make memories
Lacked internal validity

Question 14

Selective attention- Simon + Chabris (1999)

Answer 14

Basket ball and gorilla
Shows how important attention is for memory

Question 15

Primacy and receny

Answer 15

Remembering the first and last words in a series
Proving there is a LTM and STM

Question 16

Baddeley word lists

Answer 16

People found participants struggled with the acoustically similar list when using the Stm to show its coded acoustically
When using LTM participants struggled with semantically similar lists which shows it’s coded semantically
