The Levels Of Processing Model If Memory Flashcards
(26 cards)
When did Craik and Lockhart suggest their LofP model of memory?
1972
What does LOP argue?
That it is he way the info is PROCESSED that determines how long it stays in the memory
That REHEARSAL of info is UNIMPORTANT
What are the three ways we process info according to LOP?
STRUCTURAL processing (SHALLOW)
PHONETIC processing
SEMANTIC processing (DEEP)
Key point from LOP?
The more MEANING you give to info, the more DEEPLY it is processed i.e. The LONGER it stays in memory
Who conducted the study into the LOP theory?
Craik and Tulving
When did Craik and Tulving conduct their study into LOP?
1975
What are the two types of LTM?
PROCEDURAL memory
DECLARATIVE memory
What is procedural memory?
A MOTOR or ACTION based memory
What is procedural memory sometimes referred to as?
Knowing HOW
Give one example of procedural memory
Remembering how to SWIM
Why is procedural memory hard to put into words?
It cannot be consciously inspected and is non-declarative
What is declarative memory sometimes referred to?
Knowing THAT
What is declarative memory split into?
SEMANTIC memory
EPISODIC memory
What is semantic memory?
LTM for info about the WORLD or GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
Give examples for semantic memory
To know the GRASS is GREEN

EXPERIMENTAL episodic memory
What is autobiographical memory the memory for?
SPECIFIC LIFE EVENTS that have PERSONAL memory
A FLASHBULB memory
What is experimental memory?
E.g learning lists of words which are already stored in the semantic memory but are now tied to the specific episode of processing the list of words for an experiment
Who suggested the levels of processing model of memory?
Craig and Lockhart
Who conducted the study into the different types of LTM?
Tulving
