ThinkIT! Topic: Types of memory Topic - Multi Store Model Discuss whether the multi-store model reductionist. Outline and evaluate the multi store model. Evaluate the store in terms of strengths and limitations. How have case studies been used to evaluate the MSM? And how useful are these studies? Topic: Reconstructive memory Discuss how reconstructive memory could be used as evaluation of EWT. How could this be used to explain why people have different memories of the same event? What conclusions can be drawn from this research? Evaluate this study in terms of strengths and limitations. Topic: Murdock serial position effect Analyse the usefulness of research such as Murdock in understanding memory. How did this research support the MSM? If you were to replicate Murdock’s study how would you go about it? Include the experimental design, description of the task and results. Topic: Processes of memory Describe one way psychologists have studied the duration of memory. There was a case study where the individual could only remember two pieces of info in their STM is this the same as other adults memory? Outline one study into either encoding or capacity. . Topic: False memories How has research such as Loftus impacted the justice system? Why might research conducted in a lab not be particularly useful when looking at EWT? What ethical implications might there be in relation to research into false memories. Find a real life example (e.g. Ronald Cotton) and use the research to explain why this occurred. ThinkIT! © Copyright The PiXL Club Ltd, 2017 Topic: Interference Explain how interference could be used to explain accuracy in memory. What reference would this have to EWT? Is there a practical application of the research into interference theory. Using interference theory explain why a student may muddle up German and French. Topic: Types of memory Give a real life example of each of the types of LTM. What type of data has been used to support the different types of memory? How does Clive Wearing show the different types of LTM? Topic: Context Explain whether the research has ecological validity. Discuss what the findings of Godden and Baddeley tell you about the accuracy of memory. Describe how a student might make use of this information when revising for their exams.
