Q

Who conducted the Experiment for Cue Dependent Forgetting and when was it carried out?

A

Gooden and Baddely in 1975

23
Q

In the Godden and Baddely divers study, how many divers were there? Where were they from?

A

18 divers from Scotland

24
Q

How many words were there for the Godden and Baddely study of Cue dependent forgetting?

25
Q

What are the time periods for each level of memory for the multi-store memory?

A

Sensory - Fraction of a second
Short-term - 18 to 30 seconds
Long-term - Minutes to years

26
Q

How does information go from the short-term memory to the long term memory?

A

By repetition through the rehearsal loop

27
Q

Who came up with cue-dependant forgetting and when?

A

Tulving in 1974

28
Q

What are the two types of cue to help forgetting?

A

Context and State

29
Q

What are context cues?

A

Involve prompts from the surrounding environment

30
Q

What are state cues?

A

These cues involve emotional and are internal to the person

31
What is a Cue?
Prompts that guide us to the memory that we are seeking in our minds
32
What environments in the divers study would represent the context cue?
Both leaning and recall underwater / Both learning and recall on land
33
What environments were used in the divers study to represent no context cues?
Learning and recall were conducted in different environments, one underwater and the other on land
34
What design did the divers study use?
Repeated Measures
35
How many hours were there between each condition in the divers study?
24
36
Was there a difference in recall ability on land compared to water in the divers study?
No
37
In the divers study, what percentage more words were forgotten when recalled in a different environment to the learning environment?
40%
38
What are the two types of interference forgetting? Define them.
Proactive - Old information interferes with new information Retroactive - New information interferes with old information
39
Briefly describe the cognitive key issue
Involving the eyewitness testimony. Evidence to show they are inaccurate and therefore unreliable. This is because of theories of forgetting and other cognitive theories.
40
Describe a one-tailed hypothesis
One with a definite direction e.g Alcohol will increase reaction time
41
Describe a two-tailed hypothesis
One with no specific direction eg. Alcohol affects reaction time
42
What is a confounding situational variable?
One in which the tease archer can control when carrying out a study experiment e.g. Time taken or number of ppts
43
What is an extraneous variable?
One in which the researcher cannot control in a situation. e.g. spontaneous illness or noises
