- Multi-store model of memory
- Sensory memory
- Composed of several stores
- Eyes
- Ears
- Nose
- Fingers
- Constantly receiving information
- Info remains here for a very brief period
- Requires attention focused on an object to be transferred to STM
- Short-term memory
- Info here will decay relatively quickly if it is not reheasred
- Maintenance Rehearsal
- Long-term memory
- The more info is rehearsed the better it is remembered
- Potentially unlimited capacity
- Serial position effect
- Short-term memory
- Info here will decay relatively quickly if it is not reheasred
- Maintenance Rehearsal
- Long-term memory
- The more info is rehearsed the better it is remembered
- Potentially unlimited capacity
- Serial position effect
- Glanzer and Cunitz
- Gave ppts a list of 20 words and asked them to recall
- Tended to remember the words at the beginning and at the end but not in the middle
- Primacy effect
- Linked to LTM because the words at the beginning had been better rehearsed and so were stored in LTM
- Recency effect
- Linked to STM because the words at the end were remembered because still in the STM capacity
- Primacy effect
- Tended to remember the words at the beginning and at the end but not in the middle
- Gave ppts a list of 20 words and asked them to recall
- Glanzer and Cunitz
- Squire at al
- Separate area of the brain active when LTM is engaged
- Hippocampus
- Separate area of the brain active when LTM is engaged
- LTM not one unitary store
- Schachter et al
- Found evidence for 4 different long term stores
- Procedural memory (reading or riding a bike)
- Episodic memory (what you did yesterday/last week)
- Perceptual representation system (PRS) memory
- Semantic memory (knowledge of world e.g words)
- Found evidence for 4 different long term stores
- Schachter et al
- Long-term memory
- Maintenance Rehearsal
- Info will also decay if new info enters STM
- Original info gets displaced by the new info
- Limited capacity
- Beardsley
- Separate area of the brain that is active when doing STM tasks
- Prefrontal cortex
- Separate area of the brain that is active when doing STM tasks
- STM not a unitary store
- KF
- Suffered brain damage
- Difficulty dealing with verbal info in STM but normal ability to process visual info
- Suffered brain damage
- KF
- Info here will decay relatively quickly if it is not reheasred
