Multi-store memory |
Each store is unitary and can function independently |
How does it function and what is each store? |
|
|
MSM: Sensory Register |
Capacity: Potentially unlimited Duration: 0.5 seconds Encoding:Modality specific Forgetting: Trace Decay |
|
|
|
MSM (sensory register)Iconic memory |
Memories that you see |
Think about senses |
|
|
MSM (sensory register): Gustatory memory |
Memories made through taste |
Think about senses |
|
|

Short term memory |
Capacity: 5-9 items Duration: 20 seconds Encoding: acoustically Forgetting: displacement |
|
|
|
Maintenance rehearsal |
Extension of rehearsal by constantly thinking about what you're trying to remember. |
|
|
|
Long term memory |
Encoding: semantically Capacity: Potentially unlimited Duration: Potentially unlimited Forgetting: retrieval failure |
|
|
|
Study for encoding |
Baddeley (gave 4 groups of pp's words to study. Then they were given list in wrong order and they had to order them) |
Participants were given words to study then given a wrong list and asked to order them |
|
|
Study for the duration of STM |
Peterson and peterson |
Participants were asked to recall trigrams |
|
|
LTM: Episodic |
Remember events from personal lives. What happened, when, and who was there. Contains emotions associated with event. Memories are declarative. |
An example of this is a friends wedding |
|
|
LTM: semantic |
Knowledge (memories of facts shared by everyone). Memories are declarative. |
These memories are shared by everyone |
|
|
LTM: Procedural |
Skills (how to). Memories aren't declarative and they are acquired through practice and repetition. |
These memories are recalled automatically with little effort. |
|
|
Study for different types of LTM |
Brain scans (PET scans) |
Show brain activity when different types of LTM are in use |
|
|
Working memory model |
Consists of Central executive, visuospatial sketch pad,episodic buffer, and the phonological loop (which is split into articulatory loop and the phonological store) |
Remember Hat, eyes, EB, PL (mouth and ear) |
