QCE Memory Lesson 1 and 2 Reveiw

Iconic Memory

• that involves motor skills and behavioural habits such as how to complete tasks

• the sensory register that briefly holds mental images of visual stimuli capacity is unlimited duration is 0.3 seconds

• auditory sensory memory capacity is unlimited duration is 3-4 seconds

  
  

• a type of long term memory that holds facts (semantic) and personal experiences (episodic)

Baddeley and Hitch (1974) developed the

Organise these types of memories into implicit or explicit

Groups:

(a) Implicit

,

(b) Explict

• who the prime minister is

• when your birthday is

• memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare"

• how to use a pen

• memories of skills

• How to ride a bike

When Nick studies for his Psychology class, he tries to link each concept or term to something he already knows. He thinks about the meaning of concept, rather than just saying the words over and over. Which model of memory would best explain Nick’s approach to encoding memories?

• levels of processing

• information processing

• multi-store

• working model

Label correctly the stores in the Multi store Model of Memory

The levels of processing model of memory suggests that which of the following questions would lead to better memory of the word ‘shark’?

• Would it be found in water?

• • 
    Is it in capital letters or not?

• • 
    Is the word written in cursive?

• Does it rhyme with dark?

We can extend the duration of the short-term memory store by using what type of rehearsal?

• maintenance rehearsal

• crash rehearsal

• intensive rehearsal

• elaborative rehearsal

central executive

• controls attention, controls information from the two 'slave stores' visuospatial sketch pad and phonological loop

• helps to retrieve information from the LTM and to associate it with information in WMM and to encode information across to LTM

• a continuum of memory processing from shallow to intermediate to deep, with deeper processing producing better memory

• encoding on a basic level based on the structure of appearance of words

episodic buffer

• helps to retrieve information from the LTM and to associate it with information in WMM and to encode information across to LTM

• controls attention, controls information from the two 'slave stores' visuospatial sketch pad and phonological loop

• auditory working memory

• storage system of visual information

Echoic Memory

• memory capacity is unlimited duration is 3-4 seconds

• briefly holds mental images of visual stimuli capacity is unlimited duration is 0.3 seconds

• unlimited

• capacity unlimited and duration 10 seconds
