Briefly decribe the duration, capacity and encoding of STM and LTM
STM- seconds and minutes (rehearsed), 7+or-2, acoustic and visual, LTM- hours, days and years, potentially unlimited, semantic
1 of 7
What was Peterson and Peterson's study?
duration of STM, consonant trigram, count backwards in three's then recall after different periods of time. without rehearsal, duration is less than 18s
2 of 7
Evaluate Peterson and Peterson's study
good-tighlty controlled variables, limitations-lacks ecological validity, only one stimuli
3 of 7
What was the study into capacity in the STM? evaluate it
Jacobs- string of numbers or letters increasing length, recall in order. average 9 numbers, 7 letters, good- miller's study 7 chunks, limitations-ecological validity, not semantic
4 of 7
Decribe a study into encoding
Baddeley- 4 sets of words, acoutically and sematically similar anf dissimilar, recall immediately, after 20 min task. STM-difficulty acoutically similar, LTM-difficulty semantically similar.
5 of 7
Evaluate Baddeleys study
good- Corad: worst at acoutically similar letters, limitations- too simple Brandimote found STM encoded visually too
6 of 7
What can be concluded from Bahrick et al's study on VLTM?
recognition better than recall
