memory - p1

Question 1

peterson & peterson

duration of stm

Answer 1

lacks mundane realism

(constant trigram = artifical)

Question 2

baddeley

coding of ltm

Answer 2

high control over extraneuous variables

Question 3

miller

capacity of stm

Answer 3

high reliability - controlled environment

Question 4

bahrick

duration of ltm

Answer 4

high in mundane realism (real life memories of classmates)

low control over extraneous variables (not controlled envirnoment = no cause and effect)

Question 5

types of ltm

Answer 5

neuroimaging evidence to support diff types of ltm
^ scientific methods

real life evidence - clive wearning case study ( episodic damaged = cant rem musical education but episodic works = can play piano — therefore seperate parts of ltm)
^ low pop val

Question 6

working memory model

Answer 6

rts - shallice and warrington - patient kf ( diff parts of stm - recall of stm digits poor (phonological loop) = read to , but good = read (visual spatial sketchpad))
^ low pop val

dual task performance studies
( baddeley found hard to do 2 visual tasks (pointer= moving light and mentally move ‘F’
but
easy when one task is verbal (repeat ‘the’)

Question 7

interference forgetting

Answer 7

rts - mcGeoch & mcDonald ( list a+b, recall accuracy list b = synonyms (12%), antonyms (26%)
^high reliabilty - controlled lab
^lacks mundane realism - learning words = artificial

Question 8

retrieval failure due to abscene of cues

Answer 8

Context dependent forgetting = rts - Godden & Baddeley (scuba divers list learning in and out of water and recall in same and opposite locations = 40& less accurate in oppsosite)

State dependent forgetting = rts - Goodwin (list learning sober/drunk then recall in same or opposite state 24 hours later

^lacks mundane realism
^prac app - cog interview use contect reinstatement - imagine at scene of crime for more int/ext cues to remmeber = more accurate eye witness testimony

Question 9

post event discusiion

Answer 9

rts - skagerburg and wright (mugging brown/blonde hair = memory contamination - blend = medium brown haior)

demand characteristics - controlled envirnoemnt + unrealistic task

Question 10

anxiety

Answer 10

rts - neg effect of anxiety - valentine & mesout (low and high anx in london dungeons and recall physical details of actors - high anx = low accuracy)

rtc - christian & hubinette (58 real witness of bank robbery - 75% more accurate but more accurate the higher anx)

yerkes dodson law - anx + accuracy of ewt is complex, diff levels of anx affect ewt, too much or too little = poor ewt, opitmum = high ewt , explaims diff in results in johnson + scott, ppt in christ = optimum, resolves contradictin and validates anx affect ewt)

Question 11

cog interview (imp accuracy of ewt)

Answer 11

rts - Kohnken - meta analysis of 50 studies compare cog and standard interview , cog interview had 41% increase in correct info
^ 81% more info collected but often more incorrect info rem(61%) = flase imprisonments ans wasting time
^ neg affect on economy - false inprison, waste time and money, waste tax payer money
