Memory msm

Question 1

Who made the multi store memory

Answer 1

Atkinson & shifferon (1968)

Question 2

How is the multi store memory described

Answer 2

A linear process
Starts from environmental stimuli -> sensory register -> short term memory -> memory
Look at image in the photos highlight retrieved, pronlonged rehearsal and attention would go

Question 3

Outline, coding, capacity and duration in the sensory register.

Answer 3

Coding: visual and auditory data
Capacity: huge capacity to identify different sensors
Duration: 1/4 second

Question 4

Outline the coding, capacity and duration in short term memory

Answer 4

Coding: acoustic
Baddley group one: acoustically similar man, cab,tab,cat
Group 2: acoustically dissimilar red,orange,woman,Joy
Ppts struggled with learning acoustically similar sounds: suggest STM relies on acoustic sounds
Capacity: 7 +/- items in the STM -miller
Short term memory: 18-30 seconds (it can be rembered via rehearsal

Question 5

Outline the coding, capacity and duration in long term memory

Answer 5

Coding:semantically (stored based on meaning)
Group 3 semantically similar (large,huge,great)
Group 4 semantically dissimilar(cat,human,plant,spaceships)
Ppts had difficulty memorising semantically similar
Capacity:unlimited
Duration:lifetime
Bahrick et al names & faces of people from high school

Question 6

Supporting evidence

Answer 6

(+) patient HM
Removal of hippocampus unable to form new long term memory but still able to recall info from STM

Question 7

Limitation:oversimplication of STM KF

Answer 7

After a motorbike accident he had a brain injury
Damaged is auditory sensors but not visual sensors
Meaning STM is simplified

Question 8

Limitation: oversimplified LTM Clive .w

Answer 8

Clive wearing
Severe amnesia : poor episodic memory
(Can’t remember personal events e.g birthdays)
Normal procedural memory (able to remeber skills)
Suggest LTM is not a single store
Consists of others semantic, procedural, episodic

Question 9

Limitation MSM

Answer 9

Limitation lacks ecological validity
Told recall diagrams don’t reflect real life situations

Question 10

How many key components in the working memory model

Answer 10

Central executive: control centre directs info to the other components. Decides what we pay attention to.
Phonological loop: it processes auditory and verbal information
Phonological store: inner ear
Auditory control process: inner voice
Visual Sketchpad: stores visual and spatial information inner eye (picture things)
Episodic buffer: integrates info from other components including episodic buffer

Question 11

Supporting evident of WMM KF

Answer 11

After a motorbike accident he had a brain injury
Damaged is auditory sensors but not visual sensors
Showing there’s 2 seperate components

Question 12

Supporting evidence: Dual tasks

Answer 12

People can perform 2 tasks at the same time if two take use two separate components. Performed worse if they use the same component

Question 13

Limitation: you can use touch too!! Blind

Answer 13

Blind from birth (no vision) You can use touch too understand spatial layouts
Challenges the visual Sketchpad that it should be split to visual and spatial

Question 14

Limitation: central executive

Answer 14

Don’t exacting know what it does it’s too vague. Lacks clear function& structure
