Document Summary
Interlist intrusions experiment- separately memorize different lists, but when reporting the lists, some words may get mixed up across diff lists: memory conjuction errors- words spaniel, varnish remembered as spanish. Place cells- founds in hippocampus respond only when animal is at a specific place in environment: theory- place cells help with associated memories. Briefly describe what reisberg calls the modal model of memory. How do such experiments speak to the idea that there are separate short term (aka working) memory and long- term memory. Primacy- remember words from beginning, recency- remember words from end/most recent- u-shaped curve- more words remembered at positions from both ends. Recency- limited size of working memory, most recent words bump out older words. Primacy- attempt to be good memorizers, first few words they can use memory rehearsal, but becomes increasingly difficult with more and more words- attention is divided and less effort for each word.
