Short Term Memory^

Question 1

Maintence Rehearsal

Answer 1

reperition to last longer in STM
repeat long enough to move to LTM

Question 2

Coding

Answer 2

the way info is stored
acoustically disimiliar

Question 3

Baddeley + AO3

Answer 3

coding+ showed store’s differences+ led to more understanding (memory model)- artificial stimuli
: no real meaning so not life apply
: if personal info used it will stay in STM longer

Question 4

Capasity

Answer 4

the amount of info stored
7 +/- 2 chunks

Question 5

Miller + AO3

Answer 5

capasityobserve pattern- overestimated STM’s capasity
: Cowen says its 4 -/+ 1 chunk

Question 6

Jacob + AO3

Answer 6

capasity
digit span techniques
: memories limit
+ Jacob’s been replicated with the same results = reliable
+ high control = validity

Question 7

Duration

Answer 7

how long memory lasts
18 to 30 seconds

Question 8

Peterson & Peterson + AO3

Answer 8

durationnonsense triagrams memorise with 3 num countdown: 80% at 18 seconds: 10% at 30 seconds- meaningless stimuli
: duration can change with relevance
: lack external validity and mundane realism
