chapter 5 terms

Question 1

What are the three parts of the memory system?

Answer 1

Encode, take info, store info place info, retrieve remember info for later use

Question 2

Modal modal of memory

Answer 2

Question 3

serial position graph baseline

Answer 3

People tend to remember words at the start and at the end of lists

Question 4

Serial position 2 speed

Answer 4

When a list is said fast people tend to forget the first few words of the list but remember the last few words. There is no primacy effect but recency stays

Question 5

Serial position 3 distractor

Answer 5

When people are asked to count at the end of the list be distracted there is no recency effect but there is primacy effect still

Question 6

Sperling whole report

Answer 6

Showed a list of letters 12 of them people had to recognize if set letter was presented, people correctly answered 4-5 times out of 12

Question 7

sperling partial report procedure

Answer 7

list of words of was showed just like whole report but this time a cue was presented. People remembered 9 out of 12 words

Question 8

Partial report with a delay

Answer 8

same as partial report procedure but this time the cue was delayed, people remembered about 3-4 words after the delay.

Question 9

Duration and capacity of STM

Answer 9

lasts about 15-30 seconds or as long as repetition continues with no interruption. Can store about 5-9 items

Question 10

condrad tests

Answer 10

test Auditory had participants writre letters one after another, noticed people made mistakes when the letters sounded similar.

Question 11

posner and keele

Answer 11

presented letters one after another compared the size and shape of them, people tended to react slower when the size and shape were meaning people visually take in the info

Question 12

shulman

Answer 12

test deals with meaning, flashed a group of words to participants later asked them if the word was there, participants confused words based of synonyms

Question 13

3 problems with the system of STM

Answer 13

1 word length effect, 2 phonological similarity 3 articulation suppression

Question 14

control processes

Answer 14

active processes we can control rehearsal memorization techniques

Question 15

sensory memory

Answer 15

first stage of model modal hold echoic audio or visual message for 1/2 a second, memory decays quickly

Question 16

iconic memory

Answer 16

holds visual info part of sensory memory

Question 17

echoic

Answer 17

holds audio or verbal messages

Question 18

Brown and peterson task

Answer 18

had people recall three letter words then count by 3 backwards to prevent repetition

Question 19

Chunking

Answer 19

combining small individual units into larger units more efficient way of remembering lists

Question 20

Who is sf and what he do

Answer 20

Sf is a patient who was trained in chunking to remember well over 80 numbers at a time, trained countless of hours

Question 21

Chase and simon

Answer 21

players had to memorize chess board had two groups beginners of and master level players. chess masters were able to place 16 pieces back to place if the board had meaning but if no meaning were only able to place 4-5 pieces back like beginners

Question 22

word length effect

Answer 22

the longer a word is the more difficult it will be to remember

Question 23

phonological similarity

Answer 23

if words sound similar then it will be more difficult to remember the words and distinguish them

Question 24

articulatory suppression

Answer 24

repeating a word will make it more difficult to remember and store on phonological store

Question 25

phonological loop

Answer 25

part of working memory under sensory memory takes in auditory or verbal codes stores them

Question 26

What two parts are under phonological loop

Answer 26

1 phonological store part of the phonological loop holds in auditory or verbal messages for 2-4 seconds.
2 subvocal rehearsal part of the phonological store you remember the verbal info by repeating it to yourself.

Question 27

what region of the brain is involved with STM/WM

Answer 27

the frontal lobe and parietal lobe.1 Parietal lobe has to do with somatosensory input physical touch, attention 2 Frontal lobe higher level of thinking deep thoughts language output decision making motor control

Question 28

Visualspatial sketch spad

Answer 28

Holds in visual or spatial memory is part of sensory memoery

Question 29

central executive

Answer 29

part of working memory that coordinates the activity of both the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad
