Individual Differences
Processing speed differs from person to person
Some take longer to write notes than others
Likely due to the speed they can process info in their STM capacity
affected by age
younger = shorter digit span
suggests memory capacity increases w/ age
Schemas and episodic memories are subject to individual differences
Bartlett's theory suggests schemas are heavily influenced by experiences
This will affect how we perceive info retrieved by the senses and retrieve info from memory
The experience based perception affects how the object is remembered
The development of our schema affects memory recall
Episodic = unique to a person as it refers to their life
There are individual differences in autobiographical memory
Palombo used 598 subjects for a "survey of autobiographical memory"
Aimed to assess individual differences in "naturalistic autobiographical memory"
Autobiographical memory was subdivided into 4 domains
questionnaire = 102 items using 5-point Likert Scale
Findings show that results for semantic memory is equal to episodic (so we have either good or bad memory)
Also found men score higher on spatial memory
Also found that those who self reported depression scored low on episodic and semantic memory
Developmental psychology in memory
Investigates what happens to us as we age
focus on abnormal/normal behaviour growing up
