-Abstract- The aim of this of this study was to investigate the accuracy of long term memory for a common object and more precisely to examine the differences between memory recognition and recall. Six participants took part in the experiment‚ three were assigned to the recognition task and three to the recall. The recognition group were required to answer yes or no to a series of questions relating to specific features of a N.Z. 50 cent coin they were also asked to rate how confident they were

Microsoft doc The working memory model has three separate components. The central executive system allocates attention to different inputs and monitoring the operation of the other two components. The phonological loop has two sub-components‚ the articulatory control system‚ where information is rehearsed subvocally‚ and the phonological store‚ where speech input is held for a very brief duration. The third component‚ the visuo-spatial sketchpad deals with visual and spatial information coming

Then‚ another day when I went to the library‚ but sat in a different spot. I could not remember what I had remembered in the other spot. This is an example of encoding specificity

The Working memory model‚ proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 has great significance as it developed the multi-store model of Atkinson and Shiffrin which proposed that information was stored in specific locations; the short-term store‚ long-term store and the sensory store‚ along with suggesting the new idea of central executive and its slave systems. The Central executive is the element which is involved in a higher mental process such as decision making‚ as it can co-ordinate performances

multi-store model offer a reasonable account of human memory?” (12 Marks) The most influential multi-store model (or MSM) was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. They found out that memory is divided into a series of stages. At each stage‚ the information is passed from one to another and is constraints in terms of capacity‚ duration and encoding. The first part of the MSM is the sensory memory. According to Baddeley‚ the sensory memory holds information for a fraction of a second after
