PsychologyMemoryA2/A-levelAQA Created by: charlottehorneCreated on: 14-05-21 09:46 Duration How long the information is stored in the memory for. 1 of 23 Capacity How much information can be stored in the memory. 2 of 23 Encoding How the information enters the memory store. 3 of 23 Acoustic encoding When sound information enters through an auditory stimuli. 4 of 23 Semantic encoding When information enters the LTM through personal experiences/ specific meaning. 5 of 23 Amnesia It's a clinical condition that involves memory problems. 6 of 23 Chunking When similar information/ digits together into larger units, which increases the STM. 7 of 23 Sensory register Where information collected from the 5 sense is stored in the memory store that lasts no more than a few seconds. 8 of 23 Central executive Is a dynamic system that's responsible for the control and regulation of information entering the slave systems of the WMM. 9 of 23 Phonological loop It's a part of the working memory model that sound information enters the STM. 10 of 23 Articulatory process It's a part of the phonological loop, which is a part of the WMM, that repeats sounds or words in the working memory until they're needed. 11 of 23 Phonological store It's a part of the phonological loop, which is a part of the WMM, that repeats sounds or words in the working memory until they're needed. 12 of 23 Visuo-spatial sketchpad It's the part of the WMM that deals with visual and spatial information and helps with navigation. 13 of 23 Episodic buffer It's a part of the WMM that is a temporary store that combines information from the other slave systems and joins those components to the LTM. 14 of 23 Cognitive interview An interview technique that's devised to improve the accuracy of witness recall. 15 of 23 Cue-dependant forgetting When information isn't recalled due to a lack of triggers. 16 of 23 State-dependant forgetting When information is forgotten due to the emotional/ physical state of recall isn't the same than at the time of learning. 17 of 23 Interference theory The theory that memory can be disrupted by not just previous learning but information learnt in the future. 18 of 23 Leading questions When questions are phrased in a particular way that prompts the witness to give a particular answer. 19 of 23 Multi-store model An explanation that describes how information flows through different stores to enter the LTM. 20 of 23 Post-event discussion A potential source of misleading information where witnesses discuss what they saw after the event occurred. 21 of 23 Proactive interference A cause of forgetting where previously stored information prevents remembering/ learning new information. 22 of 23 Retroactive interference Where new information is learnt and affects the recall of previously learnt information. 23 of 23
