07 405 871 542

Question 4

Duration of STM

Answer 4

Peterson and Peterson
consonant trigram WRT 302
count backwards
retention time increased 3,6 9,12,15 secs
90% right on 3 sec interval
3% right on 18sec interval

Question 5

LTM duration

Answer 5

Bahrick
392 graduates
performance better in recognition than recall
pps accurate 47yrs and after
memories retained in LTM long time

Question 6

Coding of STM

Answer 6

Conrad
6 consonants
acoustic similar (G B V P D)
acoustic dissimilar (K L O W D )
more errors on acoustic similar
must convert visual info into acoustic code in the LTM

Question 7

Encoding of LTM

Answer 7

Baddeley
4 word groups
acoustic similar
acoustic dissimilar
semantic similar
semantic dissimilar
immediately write 5 word in order
difficult remember acoustic words in STM not in LTM
STM coded acoustic
LTM coded semantic

Question 8

Clive Wearing case study

Answer 8

types of LTM
amnesia patient
can’t store new memories
procedural memory unaffected
able to play piano still

Question 9

Interference affects forgetting in LTM

Answer 9

McGeoch and McDonald
recall synonyms and antonyms
more similar the words, recall drops
retroactive interference affect recall, more similar the material the more likely to forget
lab experiment lack ecological

Question 10

Tulving on interference

Answer 10

Tulving
information more easier to retrieve when cues present when info was encoded are present at the time of recall

Question 11

Tulving interference experiment

Answer 11

Tulving
retrieval cues and be
context-smell, place

under, under
under, land
learn 36 words
50% better recall when learning and recall are the same

Question 13

effect of leading questions on EWT

Loftus
smash bump collide
word smashed given higher mean speed
word contacted gave lower mean speed

Question 14

effect of post event discussion on the accuracy of EWT

Answer 14

Gabbert
uni students

Yerkes-Dodson Law
stress has an optimum point but declines with further stress

Question 17

Cognitive Interview plan

Answer 17

Geiselman
Reinstate context - recall scene, what you were thinking and feeling, what was the weather, can trigger recall
Report everything- may highlight something overlooked
Recall in reverse order- verifies accuracy
Change perspective-promotes holistic view, enhances recall,
