It was hypothesised that when words are processed semantically‚ recall of a false memory is less likely to occur. 196 first year psychology students took part in the Levels of Processing experiment during their

There are number of theories and experiments that have focused on determining why we forget the information we were at one point or another able to recount.

A Brief Account of the Multi-Store Model of Memory And its Strengths and Weaknesses Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) proposed that the memory system could be explained in terms of 3 specific stores. This was the sensory memory that holds information from our 5 senses for a very short period of time unless given attention‚ short-term memory (STM) which has a limited capacity and short duration unless verbally rehearsed‚ and the long-term memory (LTM) which has a potentially unlimited capacity and

for being a very simplistic view of memory. They saw short term memory as a store that had many individual sections inside it. This was supported by patient KF who had epilepsy‚ the doctor wanted to try and remedy this by removing his hippocampus. This surgery was done‚ however instead of fixing his epilepsy‚ it damaged his short term memory‚ yet he still had his long term memory intact. In the multi-store model it states that in order to have long term memory‚ one needs to have gone through the

Roth (1918) defines memory as the retention and retrieval of learning or prior experiences. There are three main models that explore memory. The first of these is Atkinson and Shiffrin’s (1968) Multi- Store or Modal model of memory. Atkinson and Shiffrin categorise memory into three sub-systems; the sensory memory‚ the short-term memory (STM) and the long-term memory (LTM). The sensory memory stores information for a very short period of time‚ only registering passing sensory information‚ such

The purpose of this study was to find out whether people are able to have better short-term recall for words alone or pictures and words presented together. For the methods of this project the researchers selected 20 participants at random to form two groups of 10 . The mean age of the participants was 25.3 years

Describe and evaluate the Working Memory Model of Memory (12 marks) The working memory model by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 is an alternative to the multi- store model‚ which was limited in its description of the STM. It consists of three main components‚ the first one being the central executive‚ which has overall control. The central executive is directs attention to two slave systems‚ the phonological loop and the visual-spatial sketchpad. The central executive has limited capacity but
