6. How is information lost in sensory memory?

  • Retrieval failure (failure of neuron pathways)
  • Decay (Lack of attention)
  • Black out (lack of care)
  • Displacement (failed organizing system)

7. What is the study that supports encoding in LTM?

  • Baddeley: Acoustically Similar and dissimilar words
  • Bahrick et al : Yearbook photos
  • Miller : Strings of numbers
  • Peterson and Peterson :Consonant Trigrams

8. What is the duration of STM?

  • 7 days
  • 15-30 seconds
  • 2 hours
  • Lifetime

9. How is information lost and stored ,respectively, in STM?

  • Displacement, Recoding

10. What is the capacity of STM?

  • 5 +-2
  • 15+-2
  • 7 +- 2
  • 20 +-2

11. What is case study is support for the multi-store model ?

  • Genie who couldn't talk even though she was old enough
  • H.M severe brain damage, can't remember new things but can remember past events
  • Batista boys who's hormones only start late in life
  • Czech twins who learnt to communicate with only themselves as a guide

12. How is information lost and stored ,respectively, in LTM?

  • Displacement, Rehearsal
  • Rehearsal, Interference/ retrieval failure
  • Rehearsal, Interference
  • Displacement, Recoding

13. Capacity of LTM

  • Unlimited
  • The size of your brain
  • 50 Google terabytes
  • 7 bytes

14. What are the factors affecting the duration of STM

  • Semantically similar info, Similar pictures, Dissimilar words
  • Maintenance rehearsal , Intention to recall, Amount of information
  • LTM, Reading aloud, Rhythmic grouping, Pronunciation time
  • Sensory memory, Muscle Reactions, Listening Time

15. What is the Study In support of Duration of STM?

  • Bahrick et al : Yearbook photos
  • Peterson and Peterson :Consonant Trigrams
  • Baddeley: Acoustically Similar and dissimilar words
  • Miller : Strings of numbers

16. What are the factors affecting STM capacity?

  • Semantically similar info, Similar pictures, Dissimilar words
  • Love, Feelings, Current senses, Dreams
  • LTM, Reading aloud, Rhythmic grouping, Pronunciation time
  • Sensory memory, Muscle Reactions, Listening Time

17. What is the duration of LTM?

  • 2 hours
  • 14 years
  • Lifetime
  • 15-30 seconds

18. What is the Study In support of Capacity of STM?

  • Miller : Strings of numbers
  • Peterson and Peterson :Consonant Trigrams
  • Baddeley: Acoustically Similar and dissimilar words
  • Bahrick et al : Yearbook photos

19. What is a strength of the multi-store model?

  • Regency effects and explains brain damage
  • Working memory disagrees that STM is a limited capacity
  • Reductionist as it doesn't take into account how people memorize things, placing only emphasis on amount
  • Doesn't explain the processing of information, e.g turning words into sounds needs other memory joined

  • Sensory
  • Acoustic
  • Semantic
  • Lifetime
