Ｃｏｇｎｉｔｉｖｅ ｐｓｙｃｈｏｌｏｇｙ
Baddeley (1966b)
G -72 people in sample which can be useful (anomalies ‘average out’)
but around 15 per condition
-British participants
R -standardised procedure (can be replicated)
e.g. word lists // can be replicated by anyone
A -useful for revision
LTM encodes semantically (revise with mind maps w/ semantic links)
V -High internal validity asked recall word order
(reduced risk some words hard to recall due to unfamiliar or association)
-low ecological validity
recalling word lists is artificial & word order never tested
E – no signif
Multi store memory model
Strengths Weaknesses
-Miller 7+- 2 chunks STM capacity
-Clive wearing hippocampus damaged -Shallice and Warrington (1970) report K.F. could
Can’t make new mems cant rehearse them still add to LTM
(imp of rehearsal) prevent encode LTM Couldn’t repeat more than 2 digits
-Baddeley -lack ecological validity
Encoding STM acoustic
Encoding LTM Semantic
See two separate
Application -how to improve memory e.g. EWT pay close attention & rehearse
-help patients dementia/brain damage
writing thing down & colour coding brings in Elaborative rehearsal
