PSY270H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Sensory Memory, Implicit Memory, Iconic Memory
Document Summary
Define the different types of memory and memory tasks. Describe atkinson & shiffrin"s modal model of memory. List the coding, limiting factors and processes associated with sensory memory, stm and wm. Describe sperling"s sensory memory experiment and explain what was learned. Explain examples and experiments that demonstrate that information is stm is coded acoustically/verbally. Describe experimental evidence that visual stm has a capacity of 4. Explain what makes wm different that stm. Describe baddeley"s model of wm: explain articulatory suppression, provide evidence that visuospatial sketchpad is analogous, list the key functions of central executive and provide to phonological loop experimental evidence. Memory researchers are concerned with the type of things our memory can hold (how is information coded and stored?) Want to know what kinds of things memories can hold, how is memory coded, and how is it stored. Memory researchers are concerned with the limiting factors of memory: want to know limiting factors-duration(how long) and capacity (how much)
