Memory

Interference theory
Argues that forgetting occurs due to two memories competitions and being affected by past memories or future learning. The more similar the memories are, the more interfence occurs.
Proactive interference
Occurs forward in time with the coding of new memories being interfered with due to past similar memories
Retroactive interference
Occurs backwards in time when the coding of new information disrupts previously coded information. For example, learning a new mobile number but being unable to recall your old one . The new memory affects the recall of the old one

Retrieval failure
-
Tulving: encoding specificity principle; where recollection is affected if the context of recall is different from what it was when the memory was coded
Multi store model
Atkinson and shifting assume there are there separate memory stores when information is passed between in a linear sequence
Memory stores
Coding: Visual, acoustic and semantic
Capacity concerns how much information can be stores, duration refers to the period of time information can last in memory stores
STM: durations-0-18 seconds, capacity: 7 +/- 2, coding: acoustic
LTM: Duration: unlimited, Capacity: unlimited, coding: semantic
