  • Memory
    • Key terms
      • Encoding
        • changing into  form that can be remembered
          • Baddeley (1996) - acoustic vs semantic
            • 10 words, recalled after 20 mins
              • acoustically similar and dissimilar
                • Worse recall for similar than dissimilar
                  • LTM makes use of semantic encoding
                  • STM makes use of acoustic encoding
              • semantically similar and dissimilar
                • Worse recall for similar than dissimilar
                  • LTM makes use of semantic encoding
                  • STM makes use of acoustic encoding
      • Capacity
        • how much can be stored
          • Baddeley et al (1975) - serial reall test, long vs short words
            • reading speed measured, sets of 5 words, from 2 lists, one syllable vs polysyllable
              • 2 seconds to recall all 5 words in order
                • more short words recalled than long words
      • Duration
        • how long the info is stored for
          • LTM - Bahrick (1975) - longitudinal study, 392 high school students over 50 years
            • recollection- given name and asked to match to photo
              • 14 years- 90%, 25 years- 80%, 34 years- 75%, 47 years- 60%
                • can remember certain info for long periods of time, accuracy of LTM is better with recognition
            • Recall- showed pictures and asked for name
              • 7 years- 60%, 47 years- 20%
                • can remember certain info for long periods of time, accuracy of LTM is better with recognition
          • STM - Peterson and Peterson (1959) - consonant trigrams,  no rehearsal (counting while viewing)
            • after 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 or 18 seconds asked to recall trigram
              • 3 seconds- 80%, longer intervals held decreased recall, 18 seconds - less than 10%
                • without rehearsal, info rapidly decays from STM

                • organised 65% recall
          • repition and rehearsal
            • MSM rehearsal needed to transfer to LTM
          • Method of Loci
            • use known places, e.g. home
              • link a word to a location in home e.g. fridge

            • make new info meaningful
              • mnemonics
          • Acronyms
            • develop strong memory trace e.g. never east shredded wheat
