- Memory
- coding capasity & duration
- coding- acoustical in STM and semantic in LTM
- Eval; atrifical stimuli
- capasity- STM is 7 +/- 2 LTM is unlimited
- Eval; temporal validity
- duration- 18-30 seconds in STM and potentially forever in LTM
- Eval; 1-artifical stimulus 2-high external validity
- coding- acoustical in STM and semantic in LTM
- Multi store model
- sensory register is effected by a stimulus - with attention this is captured in the STM - with prolonged rehersal into LTM
- Eval; 1-supporting research 2- contradictory evidence 3- atirfical tesks 4- multiple type of STM
- Working memory model
- just explains types of STM contains the central execuative = slave the phonological loop = sound the visuospatial sketch pad = spatial awareness and the episodic buffer = temp store before moving to LTM or being lost
- Eval; 1-supporting brain damage 2- supporting research 2 visual tasks impossible 3- fMRI's support 4- vauge on central exect
- types of LTM
- Episodic- time stamped, complex, have to consciously recall semantic- facts, non personal procedural- skills, hard to explain, unconscious
- Eval; 1-clive wearing support 2- fMRI support 3- real life application 4-cannot genralise
- explainations of forgetting
- Interference
- proactive- old>new retroactive new>old
- Eval; 1- supporting evidence 2-atrifical task 3- real life support 4- may be exaggerated
- Retreival failure
- cues that help us remember memories, can be contextural= environmental or state dependant = internl state of mind
- study done using divers demonstrated context dependent forgetting
- cues that help us remember memories, can be contextural= environmental or state dependant = internl state of mind
- Interference
- Factors effecting Eye witness testimony
- Misleading information
- leading questions - car crash study + post event discusion - people report inforation they couldnt have physically seen
- eval; 1- real life app 2-artifical tasks 3- indiviual differences 4- lacking external validity
- Anxiety
- knife study showed low anxiety better, real bank robbbery found more = found yerks dodson curve of peek anxiety
- eval; 1- knife study inaccurate methodology 2- real robbery= low varaiable control 3- ethical issues 4- too simplistic
- Misleading information
- improving eye witness interviews
- Cognitive interview
- 5 parts to make EWT better 1- report everything 2- reinstate context 3- reverse order 4- change perspective 5- enhanced cognitive interview
- eval; 1- some elements are helpful 2- effective 3- time consuming 4- uneffective long time after crime
- Cognitive interview
- coding capasity & duration
