Q

Describe the encoding of info in STM and LTM

A

STM: Acoustic encoding
LTM: Semantic encoding
Baddeley(1966) - similar sounding/ meaning words
STM confused acoustically similar words
LTM confused with semantically simillar words

Q

Outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory

A

Sensory - STM - LTM
Attention transfers info to STM; rehersal transfers to LTM
STM & LTM have differnt capacity/duration/encoding

Supported by Baddeley and Peterson & Peterson
Too simplistic - only one type of STM and LTM
Patient KF condradicts it
