The stage theory of memory
Long term memory
Retentive for decades, massive capacity
Short term memory
Lasts around 15-20 seconds, has limited capacity (Miller's magic number 7±2)
Sensory memory
Holds sensory information, duration of 0.3-3 seconds
Baddeley and Hitch
Argued that the previous model of STM was to simple
Proposed 4 components in working memory(STM)
Central executive (in command)
visuocpatial sketchpad (innereye)
Phonological loop (inner ear and inner voice)
Episodic budder (temproary storage, chunking, LTM, intergration)
Patient H.M (1926-2008)
Medial temporal lobe removal affected his ability to form new memories (antreograde amnesia)
Patient K.F
Removal of left parietal subdural haematoma - short term memory impairments
Serial position effect
List of 15 words, with immediate recall
Working memory
Active maipulation rather than passive maintanence
Chunking
Grouping of groups into a larger unit
Craik and Watkins (1973) - Maintenance rehearsal
Given list of words, hold onto words that start with G until the next word starting with G comes up, LTM later tested
Atkinson and Shiffrin's (1968-71) multi-store model of memory
