Memory correct answers persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of
information. Encoding is preparing information to be stored, storage and retrieval.
Ebbinghaus correct answers Longer lists require more repetitions, time has detrimental effect on
performance, savings: rapid mastery of material that has been previously learned, overlearning:
additional studying of already mastered material improves performance in delayed test (increases
savings). Nonsense syllable.
Frederic Barlett correct answers actual memories and reconstructions of various memories of
similar events.
Schema correct answers mental framework of body of knowledge about some topic.
Script correct answers semantic knowledge that guides our understanding of ordered events.
Immediate memory correct answers set of processes that allows for the manipulation of
information currently in consciousness.
Limits in duration correct answers immediate memory has a limited duration. Brown-Peterson
task where subjects are given a set of numbers or letters to memorize then a task to count
backwards to prevent rehearsal. The more they have to count backwards the more they forget.
George Miller correct answers can hold approximately 5 to 9 items of information.
Chunking correct answers chunks are fundamental units of short term-memory. The combining
of several units of information. Extends capacity.
Modal model correct answers series of memory systems through which information must pass.
Sensory memory, short term memory, rehearsal leads to long term memory. Multiple systems
view
Amount of information correct answers limited by the physical nature of the sensory receptors.
Duration correct answers information can be maintained for only a short period of time
Sperling correct answers tested capacity of sensory memory. Had subjects write down rows of
display of letters flashed when prompted. A bigger delay in time when prompted to write down
certain row worsened memory.
, Iconic memories correct answers visual representations of sensory information. Echoic are
auditory.
Baddeley's memory model correct answers working memory has 4 components phonological
loop, visual spatial sketch pad, episodic buffer and central executive.
Phonological loop correct answers subsystem responsible for recycling information through
rehearsal, auditorial and visual information. Visual information is stored to auditory.
Phonological store correct answers the passive sire component of the phonological loop that
holds on to verbal information
Articulatory loop correct answers part involved in the active refreshing of information in the
phonological store.
Phonological similarity effect correct answers the finding that memory is poorer when people
need to remember a set of words that are phonologically similar, compared to a set of words that
are phonologically dissimilar. Similar words are more likely to get confused and jumbled
together
Articulatory suppression effect correct answers people have poorer memory for a set of words if
they are asked to say something while trying to remember the words.
Word length effect correct answers working memory span is negatively related to the length of
encoded items.
Irrelevant speech effect correct answers someone else saying things to you while trying to
memorize
Visual spatial sketch pad correct answers subsystem responsible for the storage and
manipulation of visual and spatial information.
Mental rotation task correct answers people take longer to make their judgements as the angular
rotation increased
Episodic buffer correct answers the portion of working memory whereby information from
different modalities and sources are bound together to form new episodic memories. Organizes
information from the phonological and visuospatial subsystems with information from across the
subsystems. Forms episodic long-term memory. Influence of relevant information from long-
term memory within working memory.
Central executive correct answers the mechanism responsible for assessing the attentional needs
of the different subsystems and furnishing attentional resources to those systems. The problem
with Baddeley's model is that central executive does not have specific function.
