Episodic memory type of LTM: Personal memory Includes memory for an event that occurred 10yrs ago, as well as a conversation 10 mins ago Semantic memory type of LTM: memory for general knowledge - Activated less than episodic, and remains relatively stable over time - Represent internal events not present Procedural memory type of LTM:implicit knowledge sampled through actions or performance. Unconscious, not easily verbalized. Memory for how to do things, including motor s...

aqa a level psychology - year 1 Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass central executive - Answer-- acts as a filter to determine what information is received - limited capacity - baddeley found participants couldn't type letters and numbers on a keyboard whilst speaking random numbers - limited research phonological loop - Answer-- stores verbal information - divided into: - acoustic store: holds words heard - articulatory process: holds words heard and repeats them visuo-spatial sket...

Who developed the Multi-Store Model? - ANSWER-Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) What are the components of the MSM? - ANSWER-- Sensory register - Short-term memory - Long-term memory What is the capacity, duration, and coding of the sensory register? - ANSWER-- Capacity is large - Duration is milliseconds - Coding is sensory (Iconic, echoic, haptic) What is the capacity, duration, and coding of the short-term memory? - ANSWER-- Capacity is 7+-2 items (Miller, 1956) - Duration is <18 ...

Coding, Capacity and Duration of Memory - Answer AO1 Researching into Coding: Baddeley Research into capacity: Miller and Jacobs Research into Duration: Peterson and Peterson + Bahrick AO3 @Coding- words lists have no personal significance- artificial stimulus @Capacity- Miller may have overestimated capacity (7+-2 where 7-2 more appropriate) @Capacity- Jacobs conducted long time ago- lack of control to extraneous variables- however there is supporting research so increased validity ...

Study of capacity of STM - Answer Miller (Immediate Digit Span Test) Jacobs Support Study of duration of STM - Answer Peterson and Peterson (Trigrams) 24 students given a consonant syllable and a three digit number ie. THX 512. They were asked to recall the consonant syllable after a retention interval of 3, 6 , 9, 12 or 15 seconds. During this interval they had to count backwards from their three digit number. Participants were 90% correct after 3 seconds, 20% correct after 9 and only...

Multi Store Model: Atkinson and Shiffrin - Answer Proposed that memory consisted of three stores in a linear way: sensory register: stimulus from environment pass into the SR and has a infinite capacity, duration is less than half a second and coded acoustically or visually, STM and LTM --Sensory register (Attention) --STM (maintenance rehearsal to stay in STM) (rehearsal to transfer to LTM) --LTM (retrieval to go back to STM) +AO3: MSM research evidence - Answer Supported by r...

Baddeley (1966) - Answer CODING IN STM & LTM Acoustically similar/dissimilar words Semantically similar/dissimilar words Immediate recall worse for acoustically similar STM is acoustic Recall after 20 mins worse with semantically similar words LTM is semantic Jacobs (1887) - Answer CAPACITY OF STM Digit span: researcher reads 4 digits and increases until the order cannot be recalled correctly 9.3 numbers 7.3 letters Miller (1956) - Answer CAPACITY OF STM Observed that m...
