Q

What is the duration for long-term memory?

A

potentially a lifetime (bahrick) George

19
Q

What is the code for long-term memory?

A

semantics (meanings)
Baddeley

20
Q

Who developed the multi store model?

A

Atkinson and Shiffrin

21
Q

what is the AO1 for the multi store model?

A

-Structural, simple model of memory
-Assumes memory flows in a linear direction through sr—>st—>Lt
-Proposes three separate independent stores
-Each store differs in terms of characteristics of C/C/D
-Rehearsal needed to go from ST to LT
-process of forgetting is different in each store (STM displacement), LTM (decay)
-Unitary means they are single unit stores (no subdivisions within)

22
Q

What is a criticism of unitary?

A

LTM consists of episodic, procedural and semantic

23
Q

what does the multi model consist of?

A

Three separate independently functioning stores (if one breaks the other isn’t affected)

24
Q

What do environmental stimuli’s cause?

A

permanent sensory overload- can’t pay attention to everything (5 senses)

25
Q

where does all the information from the environmental stimuli go to?

A

Sensory memory

26
Q

what causes information to go from to SR TO STM?

A

Attention

27
Q

What type of store is STM?

A

It’s a limited store in capacity and duration

28
Q

how is information maintained in STM?

A

Maintenance

29
Q

how is information moved from STM to LTM?

A

Elaborative rehearsal

30
Q

How does information go from LTM back to STM?

A

Retrieval

31
Q

What is the sensory register?

A

-Gather information from our sense organs
-if we pay attention to sensory information, then it will pass to short-term memory

32
Q

Why does forgetting occur in sensory register?

A

due to rapid decay if no attention is given to it

33
Q

What is short-term memory?

A

-Limited capacity, limited duration

34
Q

How is information held in STM?

A

maintenance rehearsal (constant rote repeating)

35
Q

What does elaborative rehearsal do?

A

Transfer information from STM to LTM by processing information semantically

36
Q

why does forgetting occur from STM?

A

Due to displacement and decay

37
Q

Why does forgetting occur from long-term memory?

A

because of interference and retrieval failure

38
Q

What are the two types of interference?

A

-(proactive and retroactive)

39
Q

what is retrieval failure?

A

Cue-dependent forgetting

40
Q

What is encoding?

A

Changing sensory information in a form it can be stored
