Long term memory ltm - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Levels of processing theory Craik & Lockhart (1972). Retention of items in memory based on level of depth of processing (deep vs shallow). Maintenance rehearsal (simple repetition) vs elaborative rehearsal (forming semantic associations with the material. Craik and Tulving (1975) Study: effects of elaboration of processing in a recognition memory task. Shallow (physical characteristics) / deeper (sound)/deepest (meaning) by asking questions about the word. Nelson & McEvoy Stud...

AQA PSYCHOLOGY, MEMORY EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS What is memory? A cognitive process of coding, storing and retrieving information. Define coding The form in which information is stored in memory. Coding can be..... visual, auditory or semantic Visual coding coding in the mind in the form of a visual image Auditory coding coding in the mind in the form of a sound Semantic coding coding where you recall the meaning of the information Define storage Retaini...

Encoding the processing of information into the memory system Storage maintaining encoded information in memory over time Retrieval the process of getting information out of memory storage Memory the ability to store and retrieve information that we have learned Elizabeth Loftus did research on memory construction and the misinformation effect and created doubts about the accuracy of eye-witness testimony Automatic Processing unconscious processing of i...

"The Curse of Knowledge" Weisberg et al. (2008) People favour explanations that incorporate neuroscience. Theory of mind (Pinker, 1997) "The mind is what the brain does" Theory of Mind-Greens (1996) "The mind is the activity of the brain at a certain level of description" 'Levels of Description'- Marr (1982) (of complex systems) Computational: What needs to be computed Algorithmic or representational: Transformation of inputs to outputs Hardware: The physic...

key takeaways from patient HM ANSWER = - memory = distinct cognitive function with multiple discrete modules - medial temporal lobe = critical for consolidation (formation of long term memory) - single dissociations of: ltm (impaired) and stm (intact), explicit (impaired) and implicit (intact) ltm, episodix (impaired) and semantic (intact) explicit ltm key takeaways from KF ANSWER = - supports the Working Memory Model of STM: dissociates phonological loop from visuospatial sketchpad and...

What is memory? The processes that are used to acquire, store and later retrieved information True or false. We can have memory illusions because our brain goes beyond the information available to make sense of the world. True What are the three systems of memory? 1. Sensory 2. Short-term 3. Long-term What is sensory memory? High capacity sensory register that briefly holds perceptual information True or false. Each sense has its own form of memory. True ...

AQA A-Level Psychology : Memory Exam Questions with Correct Answers Define Encoding - Answer-the process of changing sensory input into a memory trace for storage Define Storage - Answer-The process of maintaining a record of the memory trace so it can be retrieved Define Retrieval - Answer-The process of accessing and recovering stored information so it can be recalled Define Capacity - Answer-The amount of information that can be held in a memory store Define Duration - Answer-How lon...

memory correct answers process of retaining information over time - Can affect the choice of response to stimuli 3 components of memory (types) correct answers 1. Short-term memory store (STSS) 2. Short-term memory (STM) 3. Long-term memory (LTM) Short-term sensory store correct answers Responsible for storing vast amounts of sensory information (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) only long enough for some of it to be abstracted and further processed Short-term memory correct answers Tem...

Herman Ebbinghaus - performed tests on himself (primarily) and others involving nonsense syllables, truly scientific/ systematic approach to memory, derived human memory capacity (7) and demonstrated malleability of human mind free recall test - remembering things "out of the blue," free response, no clues or hints cued recall test - answering questions with hints, for example recalling states from memory with the help of a blank map recognition test - identifying the correct answer, ...
