Long Term Memory, Cognitive Interview And Forgetting Flashcards
who invented the cognitive interview
geiselman et al (1985)
what were the 4 steps of a cognitive interview
recall everything
context reinstatement
reverse order
changed perspective
what are the three components of LTM
episodic-person experience - what you have experienced
semantic-knowledge of the world and facts
procedural-performed tasks/skills that takes no conscious thought eg walking
who supports ltm and why
patient hm, hippocampus was operated on and the episodic memory was effected
what are the two types of forgetting
retroactive and proactive
what did godden and baddeley (1975) investigate
effect of contextual cues on recall
What are two strengths of the types of long term memory
Clinica studies- hm and Clive wearing had affected episodic memory but not semantic
Has real world application
What’s a limitation of the three types of long term memory
Conflicted research on where they actually are in the brain
What is a strength of interference
Real world application for forgetting
Baddeley and hitch asked rugby players to recall teams they’ve previously played and the players that played the least remembered the most- showing the more experienced players had retroactive interence
What is a limitation to interference
It’s temporary and can be overcome by cure
Tulving did research on contextual cues and recall was 70 percent showing that the memories were at a temporary loss
What is a strength of the cognitive interview
Meta analysis of 5 studies showed that cognitive interview increased accuracy by 41 percent
What’s two limitations of the cognitive interview
Not all elements are effective - only need context reinstatement and recall everything
It’s time consuming and needs training so it’s not realistic for police to use
What is a cue
Trigger of information that allows us to access a memory
Who researched into retrieval failure
Tulving
What. Is the encoding specified principle
Cue present at encoding and retrieval
What are non meaningful cues
Context dependant forgetting and state dependant forgetting
Who did a study into cues
Godden and baddeley
What did godden and baddeley do
Deep sa divers were put in 4 conditions where they learnt information on dry land or underwater and recalled it on dry land or underwater
Found that it highest recall was in the same context as learning
What is two strengths of context cues on retrieval
Real world application for overcoming forgetting such as what your loooking for
Research support from godden and baddeley
What os a limitation of context cues on recall
Recall vs recognition
Baddeley repeated with recognition and results the same in all situations so it doesn’t explain alll forgetting
