Multi-Store Model of Memory |
explanation of memory that sees information flowing through a series of storage systems |
|
|
Sensory Register: -coding -capacity -duration |
store of sensory info -coding: information paid attention to passes on to stm -capacity: unlimited -duration: Echoic=1/3 sec Iconic=3-10secs Haptic=1-2secs |
|
|
Short-Term Memory |
a temporary store holding small amounts of info for brief periods -coding:info arrives in original form&then encoded -capacity:7+-2 items -duration: 18-30 secs |
|
|
Long-Term memory |
a permanent store holding limitless amounts info for long periods -coding:mainly semantic -capacity:unlimited -duration: lifetime |
|
|
What is coding? |
means by which info is represented in memory |
|
|
What is capacity? |
amount of info that can be stored |
|
|
What is duration? |
the length of time info can be stored |
|
|
Evaluation of Multi-Store model |
Adv -Influential model -first theory to suggest stm and ltm -lots of evidence to support DisAdv -Too simple -Too much emphasis on rehearsal -can't explain many memory strategies |
|
|
Working Memory Model |
explanation that sees SHORT TERM MEMORY as an active store holding several pieces of info at the same time |
|
|
Central Executive |
overseas and coordinates the components of working memory |
|
|
Phonological loop |
Part of working memory model that deals with auditory information -Primary Acoustic Store stores words heard -Articulatory Loop repeats sounds and words until they are needed |
|
|
Visuo-spatial sketchpad |
Part of working memory that deals with visual info
-Inner scribe stores information about physical relationship of items -Visual Cache stores info about form and colour
|
|
|
Episodic Buffer |
Temporary store integrating information from other components |
|
|
Episodic LTM |
form of LTM for events occuring in an individuals life -their birthday, children being born |
|
|
Semantic LTM |
type of LTM for meanings, understanding and other concept based knowledge - |
|
|
Procedural LTM |
types of LTM for the performance of particular types of action -riding a bike |
|
|
Explicit Memory |
Declarative Memory: easy to put into words -conciosuly thought about (SEMANTIC & EPISODIC) |
|
|
Implicit Memory |
Non-declarative memory:not easy to put into words -don't require concious thought (PROCEDURAL) |
|
|
Forgetting |
-the failure to retrieve info -where info cannot conciously be recalled from LTM |
|
|
Interference Theory |
similar material is confused in LTM -proactive: past memories inhibit retaining of new memories -Retroactive: newly learned info interferes with recall of previously learned info |
|
|
Cue dependant forgetting |
failure to retrieve the prompt that trigger recall -context dependant: recall occurs in different locations -State dependant: recall occurs with different mood |
|
|
Eyewitness testimony |
evidence provided by those recalling an event who were present when teh event took place |
|
|
Misleading information |
information tahat ssuggests a desired response -leading questions -post event discussions |
|
|
Anxiety |
Moderate levels of anxiety help us to remember things, but too much or little and we don't |
|
|
Repression |
Block out memories we don't like |
