On Being Sane in Insane Places - David Rosenhan's Hospital Experiment

The video tutorial explores the concept of memory, defined by the American Psychological Association, and its theoretical nature. It outlines the three processes of memory: registration, storage, and retrieval, focusing on the cognitive model known as the two process model by Atkinson and Shiffrin. This model describes how sensory memory filters information to short-term memory, which can hold 7±2 chunks of information for 15-30 seconds, and how rehearsal transfers information to long-term memory. The tutorial concludes by acknowledging the simplicity and testability of the model, while hinting at more complex aspects of memory suggested by later studies.

What are the three processes of memory as defined in the video?

• Registration, Storage, Retrieval

• Sensing, Storing, Recalling

• Encoding, Decoding, Storing

• Input, Output, Processing

According to the two-process model, what is the role of sensory memory?

• To enhance long-term memory

• To filter and pass relevant information to short-term memory

• To process emotional responses

• To store information permanently

How many chunks of information can short-term memory hold according to Miller's magic number?

• 7, plus or minus two

• 9, plus or minus two

• 5, plus or minus two

• 11, plus or minus two

What happens to information in short-term memory if it is not rehearsed?

• It becomes more detailed

• It is automatically stored in long-term memory

• It is forgotten

• It is transferred to sensory memory

What is a key strength of the two-process model of memory?

• It includes emotional memory

• It focuses on sensory memory only

• It is simple and easy to understand

• It is complex and difficult to test
