memory

COGNITIVE INTERVIEW

change perspective = dismantles schemes that may influence our recall

reverse order = also dismantles our shcmeas

recall everything = may be useful information and may also stem other pieces of information

reinstate the context = info from the senses may help to remember info

ENHANCED COGNITIVE INTERVIEW = Fisher - links to EWT anxiety, interviewer needs good interviewing skills to make the patricipant calmer in order for correct recall e.g. eye contact body language comfortable environment

evaluation = time consuming, using all 4 techniques is time consuming, Ball suggests report everything and reinstate the context are most affective

success of cog interview - depends on the interviewer, enhanced cog interview

multi store model of memory - Atkinson

sensory register - information is held at the 5 senses before it receives attention then it goes into STM, sensory register has a brief duration, receives little to no attention

STM - info is held at STM for immediate use, it had a limited duration and capacity, if not repeated it will dissaper or if new info enters, displacement

maintenance rehearsal, repetition of info in STM will slowly create LTM

LTM - potentially unlimited capacity and duration and is encoded sematically

EVALUATION - KF asked to perform dual tasks, unable to do so which supports the idea of dual task perforce which is left out of STM being one store

working memory model - Badeley

argued that STM is not just one store but is 3 different stores processing acoustic and visual information controlled by sensory register

central executive - directs brains resources and attention to one of the three slave systems, it allocates tasks

phonological loop- limited capacity of up to 2 seconds, deals with auditory information, it stores the words you hear or the words that are seen.

visa spatial sketchpad - used to plan spatial tasks, this is where spatial information is stored-its divided into cache which stores information about visual things e.g. locations

episodic buffer - remembers events or episodes, maintains a time sequence of information

Car laws, able to listen to radio but not go on phone whilst driving- this supports the idea that there is more than one store

support for more than one store is KF - expiernced a brain injury and was examined to identify the different stores used in dual task perfomacne, he was able to perform auditory tasks bt not visual tasks adequately suggesting there is more than 1 store for each

lack of information about central executive, badly suggests that the CE is the most important feature of the WMM but it has the little clarity out of all stores.
