Q

How could you move from LTM back to STM

17
Q

Where are motor programmes stored and how can we increase its duration

A

LTM - through rehearsal

18
Q

2 +ves of memory model

A

Simple to understand
Explains how we deal w/large amounts of info

19
Q

2 -ves of memory model

A

Doesn’t prove distinction between STM + LTM
Doesn’t account for individual differences in capacity / duration

20
Q

Define Depth of processing

A

How much info is considered

21
Q

Advantages of LOP model

A
  • If we understand info we are more likely to remember it
  • If we remember info more if we consider it for longer
22
Q

Disadvantages of LOP Model

A
  • Doesn’t account for individual differences
  • Difficult to know what deep processing involves
23
Q

3 factors determining how well info will be remembered and moved into LTM

A

Info must:
- be considered
- be understood
- have meaning

24
Q

Describe the structural level

Shallow or Deep?

A
  • Paying attention to what words look like

Shallow LOP

25
Q

Describe the Phonetic Level

A
  • processing sounds + words
26
Q

Describe the Semantic Level

Shallow or Deep?

A
  • Considers the actual meaning of words

Deepest LOP

27
Q

3 ways of improving memory

A
  • Mental Imagery + Rehearsal
  • Avoiding overload
