Decay and Displacement
8 of 26
How many things can be stored in sensory memory at once?
7 +/-2
9 of 26
How is sensory memory encoded?
In the way it is presented (seen images are stored visually, etc.)
10 of 26
How is STM predominantly encoded?
Acoustically

How is LTM predominantly encoded?
Semantically

13 of 26
Which part of the brain is related to LTM?
The hippocampus
14 of 26
Which part of the brain is related to STM?
The prefrontal cortex

Name two weaknesses of the Multi-store memory model theory
Unable to explain how we remember unrehearsed information/Some research suggests understanding information is more imporant than rehearsing it, undermining the theory.
16 of 26
What does the Primacy effect dictate is easy to remember?
Items at the start of a list
17 of 26
What does the Recency effect dictate is easy to remember?
Items at the end of a list
18 of 26
What did Murdock's Serial Position study aim to prove?
The existence of STM stores and LTM stores
19 of 26
In what was the study conducted?
A laboratory.
20 of 26
What did the subjects of the study have to do?
Recall as many of the listed words as possible in 90 seconds
21 of 26
What did the study find?
The first and last items on the lists were remembered better than the middle items.
22 of 26
What did Murdock believe about the results?
They were strong evidence for STM and LTM being seperate
23 of 26
What do the effects of serial position mean?
The chance of recalling different items depends on their position on the list, being highest when they're at the start and end.
24 of 26
What is one strength of this study? (not including findings of any other studies)
It was repeated by Murdock with changes to items on the list and presentation time given to subjects, yet still supported the primacy/recency effects.
25 of 26
What are three weaknesses of this study?
A different type of memory is used in daily life to in the study/Only a very limited demographic was studied/The students were required to repeat the study up to 80 times.
