Short & Long Term Memory Functions Flashcards
In Atkinson & Shiffrin’s (1974) Modal Model of Human Memory, what are the 2 things that happen during the transformation of memory from the sensory registration to the STM?
Apprehension & Decay
In Atkinson & Shiffrin’s (1974) Modal Model of Human Memory, which the 2 things that happen during the transformation of memory from the sensory registration to the STM is info brought into our conscious working memory from sensory memory?
Apprehension
In Atkinson & Shiffrin’s (1974) Modal Model of Human Memory, which of the 2 things that happen during the transformation of memory from the sensory registration to the STM is info that is quickly lost to make room for new info?
Decay
In Atkinson & Shiffrin’s (1974) Modal Model of Human Memory, which the 2 things that happen during the transformation of memory from the sensory registration to the STM is the amount of info that can be brought into our conscious working memory from sensory memory in one instance?
Span of Apprehension
Who demonstrated span of apprehension using black beans thrown on a white piece of paper?
Jevons (1871)
According to Jevons (1871) experiement using black beans what percentage of the time the 4 beans were accurately counted?
50%
Who thought apprehension span was longer b/c the decay removes info for new info; he used an experiment with 12 letters and came up with partial report technique?
Sperling (1960)
According to Sperling (1960) 12 letter experiment what was the average # of letters recalled and percentage for the “whole” report?
4-5 & 35%
According to Sperling (1960) 12 letter experiment what was the percentage for the “partial” report?
75%
Sperling (1960) called participants reporting only what they saw from 1 area (12 letters 3 rows of 4 letters)?
Partial Report Technique
On average we apprehend ??% of info & ??% decays?
33% & 67%
In experimenting with STM who demonstrated that we can recall 7 (+-2) so 5-9 items in STM w/o using LTM?
Miller
In dealing with STM what 2 people experimented by trying to see how long people could hold 3 numbers & letters in there head on average 20 seconds?
Brown & Petterson
Who was the founder of scientific research on memory w/ nonsense syllables to see how much we forget & came up with the ‘forgetting curve”?
Ebbinghaus (1880)
In LTM what is it called when you’re given a list to remember, you remember the 1st & last things?
Primacy & Recency
In LTM when given a list to remember which reason why you remember something has more time with less interference?
Primacy
In LTM when given a list to remember which reason why you remember something its from within the last 20 seconds?
Recency
In STM if you piece items of info in clusters together to store them in your LTM what are you doing?
Chunking
Who argued that our STM should be measured in chunks rather than individual traits?
Miller (1957)
What are the 3 sections in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model?
The Central Executive, Phonological Loop, & VisuoSpatial Sketch Pad
Which of the 3 sections in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model is in charge of planning future actions, initiating retrieval & decision processes as necessary & integrating info coming in from our sensory registers?
The Central Executive
Which of the 3 sections in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model is the speech & sound related component responsible for rehearsal of verbal info & phonological processing?
Phonological Loop
What are the 2 components of the Phonological Loop in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model?
Phonological Store & Articulatory Loop
Which of the 2 components of the Phonological Loop in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model is a passive store component of the Phonological Loop ( inner ear)?
Phonological Store
Which of the 2 components of the Phonological Loop in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model involved in the active refreshing of info in the Phonological Loop (outer voice)?
Articulatory Loop
Which of the 3 sections in Baddeley’s Working Memory Model is the system specialized for visual & spatial info?
VisuoSpatial Sketch Pad
