Cogantive Approach Flashcards
(23 cards)
What are the 3 main stores of the multi store model
Sensory register
Short term memory
Long term memory
What does the sensory register contain
One substore for each 5 senses
What was the aim of the practical investigation (cog)
To investigate the effect of context dependency on memory
What was the procedure of practical (cog)
Lab experiment using sampling opportunity of COPC Y1 psych students aged 16/17
pps will be allocated 1 condition, either recalling in silence or with music
Asked to read passage of text and memorise within 10 minutes ams answer 10 multiple choice questions whilst listening to music
Recall either matching or mist aching conditions and 2 minutes to answer
What was the finding of practical (cognitive)
Matching has results of 9.5 / 1.16
Mismatching has results of 90.5 / 1.56 using Mann Whitney test
What was conclusions of practical (cognitive)
Results are significant, pps who recall I’m matching conditions will recall more correct results therefore it is context dependent
2 strength of practical (cognitive)
- Reliable, standardised procedures
Pps given same test same music and same time
Therefore reliability - Upheld ethical guidelines
Pps told aim and given debrief, right to withdraw and consent
2 weaknesses of practical (cog)
- Lack’s generalisability
22 alevel psych students from COPC, 16/17 yrs
Therefore unrepresentative - Lacks ecological validity
Lab experiment, artificial setting
Therefore doesn’t represent memory in real life
Who was the WMM made by
Baddely and Hitch
What does the WMM state
That the STM is too simplistic and contains several processes that manipulate information
What does the phonological loop process
Auditory information
What are the 2 components of phonological loop
Phonological store
Articulatory loop
What is the phonological store
Store that sound based to code information
What is the articulatory loop
Rehearses information verbally and has time based capacity of 2 seconds
What does the visuospatial sketchpad rehearse
Visual information
What are the 2 subsystems of the visiospacial sketchpad
The visual cache
The inner scribe
What is the visual cache
Store that stores visual data
What is the inner scribe
Store that records the arrangement of objects in the visual field
What does the episodic buffer do
Binds info from all components
Who was reconstructive memory proposed by
Bartlett
What does the reconstructive memory suggest
That we actively try and make sense of new Information based on what we already know
Memory recall may be distorted when memory is reconstructed
What do schemas do
Hold prior information from built experience
What is confabulation
Gaps that are filled from preexiting information
