PSYCHOLOGY– UNIT 1 Attachment is an emotional bond between two people‚ it is a 2 way process that endures over time‚ serving the function of protecting the infant and leading to certain behaviours (seeking proximity‚ distress on separation‚ pleasure on reunion and general orientation of behaviour) There is a Primary attachment figure (PAF) EXPLANATIONS OF ATTACHMENT: LEARNING THEORY Learnt rather than inborn Classical: Association Proposes that food (UCS) naturally produces a feeling of pleasure

Life-Span Human Development‚ 7th edition‚ by Carol Sigelman‚ on page‚ 245. To start‚ one’s memory will be logged using their sensory register. It is then moved to their short-term memory through their working memory. Once it is stored in their short-term memory‚ the information is then encoded‚ consolidated‚ and stored in their long-term memory. The final step is retrieved. Retrieval of the information can be found through recognition memory‚ recall memory‚ or cued recall memory. Memory is a key component

memory‚ and although now considered by many to be an oversimplification of the mind‚ it paved the way for more sophisticated models (e.g. the working memory model). At it’s core‚ it has the three memory stores [1]: Sensory Memory (SM)‚ Short Term Memory (STM)‚ and Long Term Memory (LTM). The SM only holds information for under a second‚ and records all sensory information received by the mind. The STM holds up to 7‚ ±2 items of information at a time (for instance‚ a telephone number) and can hold it for

study which followed the MSM was followed through by a researcher by the name of Miller (1956). This man did a study on chunking as a method of improving the amount of information that can be stored in the STM. It also included the observation that short term memory seemed to peak around seven pieces of information at once. In conclusion‚ his method of ‘chunking information’ increased and improved the capacity of the STM. Overall‚ there are a few limitations to studies such

Outline and Evaluate the Working Memory Model The working memory model is a theory for how short-term memory works‚ and an expansion of the views expressed in the MSM theory. Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 felt that STM was not just one store but a collection of different stores. These concepts lead them to form a model which consists of three slave systems; the central executive‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. They used the phrase ‘working memory’ to refer to the division of

Berger introduces the 4 periods that Piaget envisioned are summarized in the following table that I developed from Berger chapter 6 on page 49 for assignment 2. The term operational origins come from work and produce so the operational stages are related to productive thinking. In the sensorimotor stages the child is developing an understanding of their senses and their bodies and how the information coming from its sensors is processed. In preoperational children are developing higher level thinking

experiment was to compare the digit spans of children between the ages of four and twelve‚ as well as test for the primacy and recency effect with a word list task. Digit span is defined as the number of stimulus objects that can be remembered after a short time‚ and the primacy and recency effect occur when children tend to remember words towards the front and back of a word list. To compare digit spans‚ children were asked to remember and repeat a sequence of numbers in increasing digit increments‚

The sensory memory is responsible for taking the information from one of the sensory organs and holding it in that format‚ prior to transferring the data to the short term memory‚ and

sensory memory‚ it then proceeds to our short term memory (STM) where research has shown that we mainly encode information acoustically‚ our STM has a slightly larger capacity than our sensory memory‚ allowing us to hold roughly seven items (plus or minus two) we can hold these for up to 30 seconds at a time. If we rehearse the information in our STM‚ over and over again by using our rehearsal loop‚ we are able to transfer this information to our long term memory (LTM). Research has shown that we

In today’s society‚ video games are becoming ever more popular and the more popularity video games receive‚ the more research that will be done on the topic. Many years ago you may have heard of Pac-Man‚ Donkey Kong‚ and of course the “classic” Super Mario. Today we have better technology and millions of different games out there that can put gamers in tough situations and can lure them to play for hours
