what are the 4 parts in the memory store realtionship model
short term sensory store (stss)
selective attention
short term memory
long term memory
what is the short term sensory store (STSS) and the features
all information from the senses passes through the short term and filtered through selective attention
only kept for one second
if information is not attended to it will be lost
virtually limitless capacity
what is selective attention and features
filtering out relevant information
what is short term memory and features
lasts for 20-30 secs before we lose the information
can retain 7 +- 2 items
capacity can be increased if chunking
if info is repeated the it passes to long term memory
comparison will take place by comparing stimulus here to long term memory
what is long term memory and features
store of past experiences and has limitless capacity and once store in long term memory information isn’t forgotten
but can be difficult to retrieve or recall
what are the factors affecting memory retention and how to remember
CALORI
chunking
avoid interference
link
organisation
rehearsal
imagery
what is chunking when used in memory retention
chunk information together so its easier to remember
what is avoid interference when used in memory retention
avoid presenting 2 similar bits of info one after another allow it to sink in
what is link when used in memory retention
link new information with old information and associate with previous experiences
what is organisation when used in memory retention
info must be organised in a meaningful way
what is rehearsal when used in memory retention
continued practice
what is imagery when used in memory retention
create a mind picture to remember more clearly
what are some other methods to enhance learning
avoiding too much information
make sure learner is paying attention
encourage practice after demo
emphasise key points
make stimulus more intense
make information more meaningful
get learner to repeat teaching points verbally
use simple rhymes and stories
chunk information
