Document Summary
7. 1 memory systems: memory = collection of several systems that store information in different forms for differing amounts of time. Afterward, participants are to report the corresponding line: bottom, middle or top. Participants will report only 3/4 of the letters, but from any randomly selected line. Iconic memory could hold all 12 letters as a mental image. The phonological loop: word-length effect ppl remember one-syllable words rather than 4/5-syllable words in a short term task, brown-peterson test = technique for measuring the duration of working memory, test relies on meaningless stimuli and interference. Participants read trigram that isn"t associated with ltm. Count backward (by threes) from the number to interfere with rehearsal: duration of the phonological memory 15 seconds. The visuospatial sketchpad: phonological store can be gauged at several levels number of syllables, words, chunks. Encoding and retrieval: storage = time and manner in which information is retained between encoding and retrieval.
