Memory

• Atkinson and who created the model of the memory in 1962

  Shiffrin
• What are the 2 types of memory storage

  Long term and short term
• What year was the multi store model of memory made

  1968
• What year was the working model memory made

  1974
• Who designed the working memory model

  Baddeley and Hitch
• What does the working model of memory show

  How the short term memory is organised and how it functions
• What are the 4 parts of the working model memory

  The central executive, the phonological loop, the Visio-spatial sketch pad and the episodic buffer
• What does the central executive do


  Attentional process that monitors incoming data, makes decisions and allocates data to the slave systems
• Does the central executive have much capacity

  No very limited
• What is the central executives responsibility 


  Setting task goals, monitoring and switching attention between tasks and correcting errors
• What does the phonological loop do?

  it’s a slave system which holds informMarion an a speech based form and preserves the order it’s in
• How many parts is the phonological loop in ?

  Two
• What are the two parts of the phonological loop

  The phonological store and the articulatory process
• What is the phonological store 


  Stores information and words that you hear
• What does the Visio-spatial sketchpad do?


  stores visual and spatial information
• Does the visuo-spatial sketch pad have good capacity ?

  No about 4 objects
• How many parts is the Visi-spatial sketch pad

  2
• What are the two parts of the visuospatial sketchpad


  Visual cache and the inner scribe
• What does the visual cache store 


  Visual data
• What does the inner scribe do

  Visual rehearsal mechanism which records the arrangement of objects
• What does the epsodic buffer so

  Temporary store of information integrating visual, spatial and verbal information
• Does the episodic buffer maintain time sequencing and record episodes happening

  Yes
• What is the capacity of the episodic buffer

  4 chunks
• Three types of long term memory

  Epsodic, semantic, procedural
• What is episodic memory 


  Ability to recall events (episodes) in our lives
• Which type of long term memory is compared to a diary

  Epsodic
• Which type of long term memory is time stamped

  Epsodic
• which type of long term memory requires conscious effort

  Episodic
• What is an example of an episodic memory to me


  Going on holiday to Turkey, happy, food smelled good water was cold
• What is semantic memory 


  Knowledge of the world
• Are semantic memories time stamped 


  No
• What time of LTM does remembering the meaning of words fall under ?


  Semantic
• is semantic memory vulnerable to distortion and forgetting ?


  No
• What is procedural memory ?


  How we remember actions, skills and how to do things
• What is an example of procedural memory 


  How to make a cake how to tie a show lace
• Do we require lots of conscious effort to remember procedural memory’s ?


  No it’s like walking
• Which of the 3 LTM do we automatically do ?


  Procedural , walking and writing
• Who proposed the idea of three types of long-term memory stores?

  Tulving
• What are the three types of long-term memory proposed by Tulving?


  Episodic memory, semantic memory, and procedural memory
• What is episodic memory?


  • Ability to recall personal events (episodes)
  • Time-stamped memories
  • Includes elements like people, places, and behaviors
  • Requires conscious effort to recall
