Science T4 Week 6

Question 1

What does the LOP Model of Memory suggest

Answer 1

• it suggest that there are no separate memory store
• instead one storage area where memories are encoded by different levels of processing
• the deeper the level of processing at the time of encoding, the easier the retrieval

Question 2

Structural LOP Model of Memory

Answer 2

• the words are learnt by physical features
• LOP –> shallow
• thus, 20% of words are retrieved using structural encoding

Question 3

Phonemic LOP Model of Memory

Answer 3

• words are learnt by sound
• LOP –> moderate
• thus, 50% of words are retrieved using phonemic encoding

Question 4

Semantic LOP Model of Memory

Answer 4

• words are encoded by their meaning
• allows them to be placed directly into semantic networks
• LOP –> deep
• thus, 80% of words are retrieved after semantic encoding
