Types of Memory, Capacity & Duration Flashcards
what’s the study associated with sensory memory?
sperling 1960
what’s the capacity of the sensory memory?
the capacity in the sensory memory is unlimited
what is the duration of the sensory memory?
the duration of the sensory memory is 0.5 seconds
what is the type of coding in the sensory memory?
the sensory memory has sensory encoding
where is sensory memory believed to be located in the brain?
fMRI scans show that this is in the medial prefrontal cortex
what is the capacity of the Short term memory
Short term memory has a capacity of 5-9 items, Miller 1956
what is the duration of the Short term memory
the duration of the Short term memory
is 18-30s, P+P 1959
what is type of encoding in Short term memory
Short term memory has acoustic encoding, baddeley 1966
what capacity does long term memory have?
long term memory has a unlimited capacity, bahrick 1975
what duration does long term memory have ?
long term memory has an unlimted duration
what encoding does long term memory have?
semantic encoding, baddeley 1966
what is the central executive?
Determines how resources from slave systems are allocated
what is the capacity of the central executive?
the capacity is limited in the central executive
what is the encoding in the Central executive?
the encoding in Central executive is modality free
what area of the brain i Central executive located?
prefrontal cortex
what is the phonological loop?
Deals with auditory information and preserves word order – Inner Ear
what is the capacity of the phonological loop?
the capacity of the phonological loop is 2s worth of info
what kind of coding does the phonological loop have?
the phonological loop has acoustic encoding
where is the phonological loop located?
the phonological loop is located in the parietal lobe
what is the episodic buffer?
Integrates information from all other areas
what is the capacity of the episodic buffer?
the episodic buffer has a capacity 4 chunks of info
what is the coding of the episodic buffer
the coding of the episodic buffer is modality free
in what area of the brain is the episodic buffer bases
the episodic buffer is based in the hippocampus
what is the visio-spatial sketchpad?
Visual and/or spatial information stored here – Inner Eye
what is the capacity of the visio-spatial sketchpad?
the capacity of the visio-spatial sketchpad is 3-4 objects
what is the capacity of the visio-spatial sketchpad?
the capacity of the visio-spatial sketchpad is 3-4 objecs t
what kind of encoding does visio-spatial sketchpad have?
visio-spatial sketchpad has a visual encoding
in what area of the brain is the visio-spatial sketchpad
the visio-spatial sketchpad is located in the temporal lobe
