Psychology Memory
Memory Stuff
| semantic memory - explicit | facts/learning (Semantic) |
| episodic memory - explicit | Personal experiences/events - Retrospective – Remembering past events - Prospective – Remembering things to do in future |
| procedural memory (implicit) | Memory on how to perform task skills and action May not be able to explain this knowledge Highly resistant to forgetting |
| working model of memory Aspects | Phonological Loop, Episodic |
| Phonological Loop | Auditory working memory = phonological store - articulatory control process |
| Episodic buffer | Helps retrieve information from long term memory needed in working memory, and encodes new information into the LTM |
| multistore model of memory | External stimuli → Sensory memory → Short-term memory → Long-term memory |
| sensory memory | iconic - visual (0.4) - echoic - auditory (3-4) |
| Short-term | 5-9 pieces, 12-20 seconds |
| Long-term | infinite storage |
| visuospatial sketchpad | visual working memory |
| Central executive | Control centre, puts everything together and controls our attention, allows mental manipulation |
| Encoding | The process of putting information into a form that will allow it to fit with your personal system |
| Storage | Maintaining encoded information in a memory store |
| retrieval | The process of getting information back from long-term memory to be used in working memory |
| Levels of Processing Model components | structural processing (look), phonemic processing (sound), semantic processing (meaning) |
| Recall | The retrieval of information - Free (as much info as possible with NO cues) - Serial (Recalling info in the order it was presented) - Cued (Recall assisted by prompts/hints (cues) to aid retrieval without using the original terms) |
| Recognition | A form of retrieval where the correct information needs to be identified amongst a set of alternatives |
| Relearning | learning something again that has already been committed to memory |
| Retrieval Failure Theory | Forgetting occurs when information in long-term memory cannot be accessed due to a lack of cues. |
| Interference theory | Difficulty retrieving could be due to: Proactive interference: When previously learned material inhibits learning of new information- Retroactive interference: When newly learned material inhibits retrieval of older information |
| Chunking | Grouping of things together to improve memory capacity |
| Rehearsal | Maintenance Rehearsal: Strategy to move information from STM to LTM by repeating it over and over Elaborative Rehearsal: giving meaning to information or linking it to pre-existing information to increase encoding |
| Loci - Mnemonic | A mnemonic that focuses on visualisation to strengthen memory (memory palace) |
| SQ4R - Mnemonic | Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Relate, Review |
| Types of LTM | Explicit (Semantic + episodic) +implicit (procedural) |
| Memory parts of the brain | Frontal Lobe (procedural and episodic) - parietal lobe (spatial memories) - Basal Ganglia (LT procedural memories and movement) - Temporal lobe (memories for sound) |
