Long-Term Memory Short-term memory differs from long-term memory in two fundamental ways‚ with only short-term memory demonstrating temporal decay and capacity limits. Long-term memory however‚ can store vast amounts of information and is permanent. Short-term memory gives the ability for the human brain to keep information in the mind for a very short period of time‚ such as remembering a phone number long enough until you are able to dial it on our phones. The extent of short-term memory lasts within

Abstract Fergus I. M. Craik and Michael J. Watkins conducted two experiments which oppose many widely accepted models of memory‚ stating that an items length of stay in short term storage (STS) has an effect on the item being transferred into long term storage (LTS). Previous researchers postulate the more an item is rehearsed in STM there is a better chance of the item being transferred into LTM‚ for recall later‚ this can explain the negative recency effect in free recall; items presented at

the Working Memory Model The working memory model is a theory for how short-term memory works‚ and an expansion of the views expressed in the MSM theory. Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 felt that STM was not just one store but a collection of different stores. These concepts lead them to form a model which consists of three slave systems; the central executive‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. They used the phrase ‘working memory’ to refer to the division of our memory that we utilize

Outline and evaluate the working memory model (12 marks) Baddeley and Hitch proposed that memory has 4 components.

The phonological loop can be thought of as a maintenance rehearsal mechanism for retaining verbal information. It is sub-divided into two other components‚ the phonological store (inner ear)‚ which holds

Memory Test Outcomes: Differences? Naïve and Non-Naive participants using Levels of Processing Test Abstract 90words Introductions 450 Many researchers have tried to unravel the mystery of memory in the brain.
