1
What is the order of MSM
sensory memory
short-term memory
long-term memory
2
How long does sensory memory last
2 seconds
3
how long does STM last?
decays unless rehearsed
4
what is the capacity of STM
5-9 objects
5
what is the capacity and length of LTM
unlimited
6
what supporting evidence does MSM have?
Clive Wearing- has procedural memory, however, has no long-term memory or short-term memory
Miller- Discovered duration of STM
7
evaluation of MSM
S- Clive Wearing
C- Clive Wearing case study doesn't explain how this occurs
O- WMM
U- Shows how we commit things to LTM (SCHOOL)
Reductionist
8
What are the three components of the WMM
the central executive
phonological loop
visuospatial sketchpad
9
What does the central executive do?
Allows us to pay direct attention to certain things in our environment, use in strategic thinking, maths problems and problem-solving
10
what does the phonological loop do
deals with auditory information
11
Visuospatial sketchpad purpose
visual information is stored here
12
Evaluation of WMM
S- Baddeley and Hitch showed we can complete tasks when they are from different parts of the WMM
C- schmolck shows it is more confusing then what is initially thought
O-WMM
U- the Education system also shows how we take in memories
T- strong controls in Baddeleys study
Low ecological validity
13
Episodic and semantic memory has two key concepts what are they?
episodic and semantic memory
14
what is the episodic memory
remembers life events
15
what are context and state cues within episodic memory
context- time referencing and context of a situation
state- emotional state
16
semantic memory is where we store
facts, dates, rules, concepts and knowledge
17
what is referred to as a mental encyclopedia
semantic memory
18
evaluate episodic and semantic memory
S- KC (motorbike) good semantic memory poor episodic
C- Clive Wearing has a procedural memory which is neither
O/T- relies heavily on case studies, MSM is conflicting evidence
U- neuroscience also backs this theory it suggests we have different brain areas for each type of memory
19
Whos theory is MSM
Atkinson and Shiffrin
20
Whos theory is WMM
Baddeley and Hitch
21
Whos theory is the Episodic and Semantic memory
Tulving
22
Whos theory is Reconstructive Memory
Bartlett
23
Key concepts of reconstructive memory
the idea that memories are affected by prior experiences- we reconstruct our own memories
24
what is a schema
schemas allow us to make sense of what is happening and what we should do
25
what is confabulation
a disturbance in memory which can lead to fabrication or a misinterpreted memory
26
emotional perception is
the ability to recognise certain emotions in others
27
Evaluate Reconstructive memory
S- the war of the ghosts, Native American story is westernised
O- MSM states that we remember something through maintenance and elaborative rehearsal
U- Shows us that we can't rely on one witnesses testimony as it can be influenced
T- hard to test as it hard to determine how many changes people made to a story
28
what is the case study in cognitive psychology
HM
29
what is the classical study of cognitive psychology
Baddeley 1996b
