Memory Introduction Memory is a complex and varied phenomenon. Ideas about what constitutes memory and how it works can be traced back to ancient times. Plato compared memory to an aviary‚ and in some respects his ideas have remained little changed into the modern era. Plato likened human memory to an aviary with memories (birds) flying around inside. A new bird can be captured and added to the aviary (placing a new memory into storage)‚ and at a later date the bird can be captured in a net and

experienced right now. The evidence of the existence of the working memory model offers a better account than the STM component of the multi-store memory model. This is because it moves from describing immediate memory as a unitary store to one with a number of components. The working memory model does not over emphasize the importance of rehearsal for STM retention‚ in contrast to the multi-store model. It is an optional process rather than the only means by which information is kept in immediate memory

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

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

(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 up to approximately 18 seconds. The LTM can hold near unlimited amounts of information‚ for a near unlimited duration. Information enters the STM initially from the SM‚ as a result of any attention being paid to it. The information

By unconventionally using a writing method of magic realism‚ the author Junot Diaz wrote about a real history of Dominican Republic during Trujillo’s dictatorship period and the lives of Dominican people who live in America nowadays. Magical realism allows Diaz to bring supernatural elements to the story.

Abstract The study is Bower 1969 chunking. The aim of the story was to show the effectiveness of chunking. Participants were asked to memorize 12 list 10 unrelated words that were organizing. This experiment was to see how chunking was used to increase the capacity of STM. Participants were showed a letter sequence. The independent variable was chunking and the dependent variable was how many letters the participants can remember. The conclusion of this experiment showed that participants memorize
