Coding - ANSWER The format in which information is stored. (How)
Who Did Research On Coding? - ANSWER Baddely
Baddely's Procedure - ANSWER Four
... [Show More] groups were given lists to remember
a) acoustically similar words
b) acoustically dissimilar words
c) semantically similar words
d) semantically dissimilar words
-They were asked to recall the words some had to immediately (STM) others had to wait 20 minutes (LTM)
Result of Baddley's Experiment For STM - ANSWER Confusion between acoustically similar words
Result of Baddley's Experiment for LTM - ANSWER Confusion between semantially similar words
Conclusions for Baddley's Experiment - ANSWER STM - Acoustic confusion, coded acoustically
LTM - Semantic confusion, coded semantically
Negative Evaluation of Baddley's Experiment - ANSWER The words used had no personal meaning to the the participants so the stimuli was artificial
What is Capacity? - ANSWER Amount of information that can be held.
Research for Capacity - ANSWER Jacobs and Miller
Method for Jacob's Study - ANSWER Aim - See how much info STM can hold at one time
(Digit Span)
Research gave a certain number of digits then the PP recalled in correct order. If recalled correctly, amount of digits increased. Determines individuals digit span.
Results of Jacob's Study - ANSWER - participants had a mean score of 7.3 letters in order
- participants had a mean score of 9.3 numbers in order
Negative Evaluation(s) of Jacob's Study - ANSWER This was conducted a long time ago so there was a lack of control on extraneous variables
This could mean the results were not valid as there were confounding variables that were not controlled
What Did Miller's Study Discover? - ANSWER Instead as keeping the information as individuals, the unit of informaiton can be increased by chunking.
What is Miller's Magic Number? - ANSWER 7 +/- 2 (5-9 chunks)
What is Duration? - ANSWER Length of time information can be held
Who Conducted STM Duration Research? - ANSWER Peterson and Peterson [Show Less]
