memory Flashcards
(38 cards)
visulal
memory stored in the brain how you see thing
encoding
is the chnage of form of information so it can be stored in your brain
semnatic
the meaning of words
acoustic
hearing the words
storge
the information is stpored in the brain for a leter retrieval
retrieval
brung back the information for a ltter use
recognition
having a lost of option
cued recall
having clues
free recall
no clues and options
whats baddleys study
his aim to identify the type of encoding for STM and LTM
particpant had to learn a list pf word , they were accoustically similar and dismilar and semtically similar …
one group had to recall the word immedaitely where the other thry had to recall after 20 minutes
similar were poorly recalled than disimilar and so as for semnatically so he cpnclused that STM is acoustically and LTM is semnatically
AO3 for baddleys stufy
one strength its weel controlled
one weakness its an artifical task ….
what are the differnet types of encoding of LTM
episodic , semnatic and procedural
episodic memory
person events happened in your lives
semnatic
knowlwge information about the world
procedural
muslce memory _ non declarive cant explain it consiously
A03 for LTM
one strength brain scans showed differnt part of the brain with secific processs ….
one strength with supposrt of amnesiac patients ….
multistore model _ sesnsory memory
focus on the enviormetn and the stimulus has less than half a second duration
has high capacity
if you payed attention encodes to STM
STM
capacity is 5 to 9 items
duration is less than 30 seconds
encoding acoustucaly
LTM
CAPACITY UNLIMITTEED
duration unlimmitted
encoding semantically
A03 mlti store model
one strength suppoerted eveidnece … baddleyyy
one wekaness over simiplistic
what was murdocks study
he wanted to see if the number of word we can rember will be affecred in memory
particpant heard a list of wrods they ahd to recall
he found out when particpant recalled it detemrined the posistion of the word in the list
primacy effect higher recall in the first few wrds
recencey effect highest recall in the last few words
serial position effct > the posisyoion of te word in the list detemines the recall
A03 for murdock
one strength supposrted by amnesica patient … thye cant store ltm they dont show a primacy effect byt they dp show recency effect shpws the primacy efccet is related to LTM
one wekaness artifical task ….
what was barletts study of the ghosts
his aim wanted to seee if he used a story from diifernt culture willl be affected by emory
he used the serial reproductiion where he read the story and told the particpant to reprocue after 15 minutes , he got new version of the story and kept coolecting data
he found out that the story was eoteed and soe phrases were change fit in thier cultual expecttaions
he consluded that we reconsturct our emmory that the gaps are filled using our cuktural and social knwolegev
A03 Barletts study
one wekanesss ethical isuues participant didnt know they were eing studied….
one wekaness that his sample was amde out of epople he knew like his partcipamt friwnds collages …. so its not that represnetive to ther real world
