Atkinson and Shriffin (1968)
Created the multi-store memory model. they envisioned memory as a flow of information processing system.
1 of 28
Piaget
Proposed stages of cogntive deleopment which reflects the increasing sophistication of childrens thinking. Saw Childrens minds as computers that gradually developed.
2 of 28
Beck
Created a model of depression that sees faulty thinking as the cause of depression.

Clive Wearing
Severe memory loss after contracting a viral infection. Reduced memory of personal events and for general knowledge. The only person he remembers is his wife.

Baddeley (1988)
Claimed that the purpose of the visual sensory store is to allow us to intergrate visual information so that, at a conscious level we have a smooth experience. Made up the Ionic Store which claims that we hold images for a few seconds.
5 of 28
Sperling (1960) - Sensory memory
Showed grid for 50ms then asked pps to recall, Showed that ionic memory holds 9-10 items for 2 seconds.

Jacobs (1887) - STM
Digit span is a way of accessing how much STM can hold. Found that people can recall 7 digits.
7 of 28
Miller (1956) - STM
Said that STM can hold "the magic number 7 plus or minus 2". Can be increased if information is organised into bits or large clumps.
8 of 28
Cowan (2000) - STM
Claims we hold 4 chunks not 7
9 of 28
Bower and Winzenz (1969) - STM
Found that digit sting was repeated in trials became easier to recall so stored in LTM which increase capacity of STM temporary.
10 of 28
Baddeley (1966) - STM
Claimed digit span increases when spoken because they are briefly stored in echoic store which strengths memory trace.
11 of 28
Naveh-Benjamin and Ayres (1986) - STM
Comapred memory spans for english speaker vs other languages. Arabic speakers have smaller digit span as takes longer to speak.
12 of 28
Hitch, Halliday and Littler (1984) - STM
Memory span of children is related to how long each word is.
13 of 28
Schweickert and Boruff (1986) - STM
You can recall the number of items that you can articulate in 1.5 seconds
14 of 28
Macleod and Donnellan (1993) - STM
Claimed anxious people have shorter memory span.
15 of 28
Simon (1974) - STM
Found that span, as measured in chunks depends on the amounts of information contained in one chunk. He found that span in chunks was less with larger chunks.
16 of 28
Glanzer and Razel (1974) - STM
Used receny affect as a measurement of STM. Found receny affect was 2.2 items with single, unrelated words.
17 of 28
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - STM
Recall constant trigrams, his findings suggested STM fades in under half a minute if we are not using it.
18 of 28
Baddeley (1966) - STM
Tested encoding, 5 words and imediate recall, words that sounded the same were harder to remember. The confusing of acoustically similar words demonstrated the importance of sound in STM.
19 of 28
Baddeley - LTM
Modified experiment used 10 words with four 20 seconds intervals. Found acousticly similarities have effect on recall, highlighted the importance of meaning in LTM.
20 of 28
Glanzer and Cunitz (1966)
Found that there was some evidence of the primary effect (remebr start as in LTM) but the receny effect has disappeared.
21 of 28
HM
Had severe epilepsy had brain surgery to remove parts of temperal lobes and hippocampus. Can recall eents in early life but has 10 years misssing and can't learn new things.
22 of 28
KF
Shallice and Warrington (1966) Motorcycle accident. He could learn new information and recall stored information.
23 of 28
Baddeley and Hitch (1974)
Craeted the Working Memory Model. Believed that memory was several different stores, it foucses on STM only and believed it was a unitary store like MSM
24 of 28
Logie (1995) - Working Memory Model
Suggested sub-divisions - visuocache (store) and inner scribe for spatial relations.
25 of 28
Baddeley (2000)
Added Episode Buffer as he realised the model needed a more general store.
26 of 28
Baddeley (1996) - Central Execution
Investigated selective attention and switching retrieval plans. Concluded that both the random number generation task and the alternation task were completing for the same central executive resources.
27 of 28
Bunge et al (2000)
Used fMRI to see which parts of the brian were most active when participants were doing two tasks. The same brain areas (pre-frontal cortex) were active in either dual or single task conditions.
