Study of capacity of STM - ANSWER Miller (Immediate Digit Span Test) Jacobs Support Study of duration of STM - ANSWER Peterson and Peterson (Trigrams) 24 students given a consonant syllable and a three digit number ie. THX 512. They were asked to recall the consonant syllable after a retention interval of 3, 6 , 9, 12 or 15 seconds. During this interval they had to count backwards from their three digit number. Participants were 90% correct after 3 seconds, 20% correct after 9 and only 2% ...

Capacity of LTM - Potentially unlimited Capacity of STM - 7+_ 2 units Define retrieval failure - Retrieval failure occurs when there is an absence of cues. This is an explanation for forgetting based on the idea that cues are needed in order to recall information. Cues are things that serve as a reminder as they have a meaningful link or an environmental cue to a memory. Duration of LTM - potentially unlimited Duration of STM - 30 seconds Encoding in LTM - Mainly semantically Encoding i...

The multi-store model of memory: sensory register, short-term memory and long-term memory. Features of each store: coding, capacity and duration. Types of long-term memory: episodic, semantic, procedural. The working memory model: central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad and episodic buffer. Features of the model: coding and capacity. Explanations for forgetting: proactive and retroactive interference and retrieval failure due to absence of cues. Factors affecting the ac...

This is the first part of the Working Memory model that outlines the model and goes into depth with the central executive, phonological loop and visuo-spatial sketchpad. Including the individual components of both, duration, capacity and coding.

Central executive Correct Answer - acts as a filter to determine what information is received - limited capacity - baddeley found participants couldn't type letters and numbers on a keyboard whilst speaking random numbers - limited research Phonological loop Correct Answer - stores verbal information - divided into: - acoustic store: holds words heard - articulatory process: holds words heard and repeats them Visuo-spatial sketchpad Correct Answer - stores visual and spatial informa...
