name the three theories of memory.
reconstructive approach, levels of processing, multi-store model.
1 of 31
name and explain the theory that supports the levels of processing.
craik and tulving-level information is processed, structual phonetic semantic, semantic meaning, think about the word.
2 of 31
evaluate levels of processing.
there is allot of support, laboratory based research, does not explain why deeper processing helps memory
3 of 31
name the three theories to support the multi-store model.
peterson and peterson, bower and springston, murdock
4 of 31
explain peterson and petersons theory.
stm 30 seconds, triagrams count backwards, 3 sec 80% 18 sec 10%, repetition
5 of 31
explain bower and springstons theory.
chuncking, 2 groups remember triagrams, experimental group, chunking increases memory capacity.
6 of 31
explain murdocks theory.
free recall, words recall as many as possible, first and last words recalled, primarcy recency affect.
7 of 31
evaluate murdocks theory
only a simple description, there is research to supports seperate memory stores, cannot explain everyday expieriances of memory.

emotion, amnesia, interference, trace decay.
19 of 31
name and explain a theory to support interference.
underwood and postman- retroactive theory, two groups given paired words asked to recall the first list, the first group was more accurate, learning items in the second list interfered.
