What is memory |
The process of recieveing, encoding and processing information into the brain and how it is then retrive/utilised. |
|
|
Multi-store model |
Atkinson and Shiffrin's (1968) original model of memory, consisting of the sensory register, short-term store, and long-term store. The modal model of memory is an explanation of how memory processes work. |
|
|
Sensory Memory |
Made up of two parts iconic and echoic. It has a small capacity. |
|
|
Iconic Memory |
Visual. Duration is < 0.5 seconds. |
|
|
Echoic Memory |
Auditory. Duration is 2-3 seconds. |
|
|
Working memory |
Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch proposed a model of working memory |
|
|
Working Memory (STM) |
Has a medium capacity. Duration is 7 +/- 2 seconds. Its encoding is through the Visuo-spacial sketch pad and the phonological loop, which is controlled by the central executive to form the episodic buffer which connects to the LTM. |
|
|
Visuo-spacial sketch pad (VSS) |
Visual information. i.e. Images, pictures and maps |
|
|
Phonological Loop |
Verabl information (both hearing and visual verbal). i.e. Sound, writing. This is from the echoic and iconic memory. |
|
|
Central Executive |
The co-ordeinator of the visuo-spacial sketch pad and the phonological loop. It creates and inegrated represetenation of both. |
|
|
Episodic Buffer |
Sends the informatio/connects from the working memory into the long term memory. |
|
|
Long Term Memory (LTM) |
Duration is indefinant (saving). It is split into two parts: explicit and implicit memory. |
|
|
Explicit/Declarotive |
Fact and events you can vidily/clearly remember. Split into the sematic and episodic. |
|
|
Sematic |
Factual information: Words and numbers. |
|
|
Episodic |
Events.i .e. birthdays. |
|
|
Implicit |
Unconcious/implicit information that is harder to articulate. Split into two parts procedural and priming. |
|
|
Procedural |
Proccess/procedures.i. e. riding a bike. |
|
|
Priming |
Previous experiences/understanding influences your current interpretation of events. |
