Answer 3

that memory had three stores

Question 4

what are the three stores in the mode?

Answer 4

sensory
short term
long term

Question 5

what is the duration of the sensory memory?

Answer 5

0-1 seconds

Question 6

what is the capacity of the sensors memory?

Answer 6

0

Question 7

how does the sensory memory encode?

Answer 7

it is sense specific

Question 8

how is information lost from the sensory memory?

Answer 8

if information is not paid attention to

Question 9

what is the duration of the short term memory?1

Answer 9

1-20 seconds

Question 10

what is the capacity of the short term memory?

Answer 10

7-/+ 2 items

Question 11

how does the short term emery encode?

Answer 11

auditory

Question 12

how is information lost from the short term memory?

Answer 12

through trace decay and displacement

lack of rehearsal

Question 13

what is the duration of the long term memory?

Answer 13

months to years

unknown

Question 14

what is the capacity of the long term memory?

Answer 14

unknown

unlimited

Question 15

how does the long term memory encode?

Answer 15

mainly semantic but can be acoustic

Question 16

how is information lost from the long term memory/

Answer 16

through trace decay, cue dependancy and repression

Question 17

where is it key that rehearsal takes place?

Answer 17

in the short term memory in order to be transferred to the long

Question 18

if information is not rehearsed in the STM what happens?

Answer 18

it is lost through displacement or decay

Question 19

why is the model oversimplified? (W)

Answer 19

suggests that STM and LTM work together in a single unitary fashion which has now been found to not be true
wmm

Question 20

why is rehearsal thought to be too simple? (W)

Answer 20

does not take into account other factors such as motivation to rehearse and learning strategies

Question 21

who is the model supported by?

Answer 21

case studies such as clive wearing etc

shows that there are too separate stores

Question 22

why is the model influential? (S)

Answer 22

it has allowed a good understanding of memory and the structure of different stores allowing it to be expanded and researched in order to improve the model

Question 23

when ws it made?

Answer 23

1968
