Cognitive Psychology Test

Enter the letter for the matching Answer
incorrect
1.
Visuo-spatial sketchpad.
incorrect
2.
Bahrick et al (1975) study on LTM
incorrect
3.
Baddeley (1966) investigated coding in STM and LTM
incorrect
4.
Jacobs (1887) studied capacity of STM
incorrect
5.
Miller's (1956) review of research into STM
incorrect
6.
Peterson & Peterson's (1959) investigation of duration of STM
incorrect
7.
Articulatory-phonological loop.
A.
Ps given four sets of words: either acoustically similar, acoustically dissimilar, semantically similar or semantically dissimilar. Using independent groups, Ps were asked to recall either immediately or following a 20min task.
B.
Found the capacity of STM to be 7 plus or minus 2. He suggested 'chunking' is used to combine individual letters or numbers into larger, more meaningful units (eg. telephone numbers, acronyms)
C.
One of the 'slave systems' proposed in the WMM. Holds speech-based information. Consists of the 'inner ear' and the 'inner voice'.
D.
Ps shown nonsense trigrams and asked to recall them after 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 or 18secs. During pause they performed an interferance task. They found when rehearsal is prevented, very little can stay in STM longer than 18secs.
E.
392 Ps asked top recall ex-classmates (free-recall test). They were shown photos and asked to recall names of people shown (photo recognition test) or given names and asked to match them to a photo (name-recognition test).
F.
One of the 'slave systems' proposed in the WMM. Deals with temporary storage of visual and spatial information.
G.
Ps were presented with a long string of digits. He concluded STM has a limited storage capacity of 5 to 9 items. This research lacks ecological validity due to how is was conducted.

The type of coding mainly used in STM
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.

How much can be held in memory
incorrect
11.
Atkinson & Shiffrin's model of memory: contains SM, STM and LTM
incorrect
12.
Baddeley & Hitch's model of memory: contains the articulatory-phonological loop, the central executive and the visuo-spatial sketchpad
incorrect
13.
How long memory lasts
incorrect
14.
Transferring items of info into code, creating a 'trace'
