1
Q

What are the key parts of the MULTI-STORE MEMORY model?

A

Short Term Sensory Stores (STSS)
Short Term Memory (STM)
Long Term Memroy (LTM)

2
Q

List 3 characteristics of the SHORT TERM SENSORY store.

A
  • Vast amount of information gathered by VAK (visual, auditory and kinaesthetic sense organs)
  • Stored for a very short period (upto 1 second)
  • Relevant information is retained and sent to short term memory
  • Irrelevant is discarded
3
Q

List 3 characteristics of SHORT TERM MEMORY

A
  • information is stored for around 30 seconds
  • 5-9 items are stored
  • chunking can increase capacity
  • sometimes called the ‘workspace’ or ‘working’ memory
  • information is ENCODED (passed) to long term memory and decoded ‘from’ long term memory so that it can be compared and recognised
4
Q

List 3 characteristics of LONG TERM MEMORY

A
  • vast storage space
  • information stored for a long time
  • executive motor programmes (EMP) are stored here
  • information is DECODED (passed back) to Short Term Memory for evaluation and comparison to help produce a response
  • repetition and retrieval will help the speed at which information can be used
5
Q

What strategies might help STM?

A

Chunking - combining pieces of information together
Concentration and selective attention whcih will reduce the information entering STM
Practice and experience

6
Q

What strategies might help LTM storage and retrieval?

A
Association - linking to other skills
Simplicity of information
Overlearning
Uniqueness and emotional effect
Repetition
Chunking
Imagery - mental rehearsal
Meaning and Importance attached
Enjoyment and reinforcement
