Q

What is the sensory memory

A

Brings attention to information and this information is stores briefly (less than a second) in the sensory memory and can only hold one sensation.

Q

Characteristics of the short term memory

A
  • encoding = acoustic
  • capacity = 7+/-2 bits of information
  • duration = 18-30 seconds without rehearsal

Q

What is the rehearsal loop

A
  • stores up to 9 items of information
  • the more often information is looped through the short term memory, the more securely it is rehearsed.

Q

AO3 - reductionist

A

Multi-store model is reductionist as is oversimplifies and ignores other factors like different types of STM and LTM

Q

AO3 - Miller (1957)

A
  • Found that STM has a capacity of 7 items of information comfortably, called chunks.
  • supports MSM, improves reliability

Q

AO3 - Baddeley (1966)

A
  • we tend to mix up words that sound similar when we are using our STM
  • we mix up words with similar meanings when we’re using our LTM
  • supports MSM as we encode acoustically with STM and semantically with LTM
  • improves validity

Q

AO3 - Campitelli (2015)

A
  • argues that the STM is the part of the LTM we are currently focusing on and that they aren’t separate stores
  • against MSM

Q

AO3 - Peterson (1959)

A
  • the duration of the STM is between 18 and 30 seconds but can be extended by the maintenance of rehearsal
  • supports STM duration theory proposed
  • improved validity

Q

AO3 - Bahrick (1975)

  • supports the durations of the LTM being a lifetime
  • improves validity

Q

AO3 Clive Wearing

A
