Free recall – explanations of forgetting Describe the theory STM, LTM or both? Supporting studies Evaluation points Trace decayDisplacementInterference Motivated forgetting (repression) Retrieval failure (cue dependant forgetting) Lack of consolidation
3
Recognition – explanations of forgetting Match the study to the theory… Miller (1956) found that when STM was full up (5 – 9 items) new material would push out the old Godden & Baddeley (1975) showed that divers who learnt a list of words underwater recalled it better underwater than on land and vice versa. Peterson and Peterson found poor recall of trigrams after 18 seconds had passed, if participants had to a distraction task (counting backwards Yarnell & Lynch (1970) showed that concussed American footballers could recall what happened if asked immediately (STM) but could not recall anything when asked 20 minutes later (LTM). Keppel and Underwood found that memory of trigrams was 100% in the first trail but got worse over subsequent trails Glucksberg & Lloyd (1967) showed that words associated with other words that were accompanied by an mild electric shock were recalled worse then control words
4
Forgetting – AO2 Does this theory explain forgetting in LTM, STM or both? Why? Does this theory explain all forgetting? Why not? Does the evidence to support this theory have high ecological validity? Why? Is there any evidence against this theory? How well does this theory explain the serial position effect (for trace decay, displacement and interference)
