the multi store model of memory Flashcards
what is the linear format for memory?
encoding to storage to retrieval
what is the start of the multi store model
a stimulus from the environment
what is the first register
sensory register
what is the second store
short term memory store
how does the memory go out of short term memory
by forgetting
what is the rehearsal loop for short term memory
maintenance rehearsal
what is the last memory store
long term memory store
from long term memory to short term memory
retrieval
from short term memory to long term memory
elaborating rehearsal
true or false - the capacity and duration of the SHORT TERM MEMORY is unlimited
false
true or false- using mnemonics (a pattern of letters)and creating a song is a form of elaborating rehearsal
true
when evaluating the multi store model which case studies do we study
HM and Clive Wearing
what are the 3 main processes of memory
input/ encoding, storage, output/ retrieval
what is input/encoding
registering information
what can storage be
temporary or permanent
for output , memories are useless unless they can be… through …
retrieval, recall, recognition, reproduction
what is capacity
a measure of the amount that can be held in the memory
what is duration
a measure of how long a memory lasts before it is no longer available
what is encoding
the way information is changed so it can be stored in memory
how does encoding enter
through the senses
how is encoding stored
visual, acoustic or semantic(meaning)
what is sensory memory’s capacity
unknown
what is the duration of sensory memory
0.5 to 2 seconds
what is sensory memory’s mode of representation
it needs changing to be more manageable
how does forgetting occur in sensory memory
due to decay via lack of attention
what is short term memory
temporary recall of the information
what is long term memory for
storage of information over a long time
what is the capacity for stm
5 to 9 items
what is the capacity of ltm
limitless
what is the duration of stm
20-30 seconds
what is the duration of long term memory
from few minutes to a lifetime
what is the encoding for stm
usually encoded acoustically
encoding for ltm
visual, semantic code(remembering the meaning of the info)
how does forgetting occur in stm
displacement , decay
how does retrieval occur in stm
sequence
how does forgetting occur in ltm
retrieval failure, decay
how does retrieval occur in ltm
semantic prompts (cues)
