Page 2: Multi-Store Memory Model MSMMSM

This section examines the structure and characteristics of the Multi-Store Memory Model, providing detailed information about sensory register coding, capacity and duration.

Definition: The Multi-Store Memory Model describes memory as consisting of three distinct stores: sensory register, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Highlight: Each memory store has specific characteristics:

  • Sensory Register: Very high capacity, half-second duration
  • STM: 5-9 items capacity, 18-second duration
  • LTM: Unlimited capacity, lifetime duration

Example: The case of HM provides strong evidence for separate STM and LTM systems, as his STM remained intact while his LTM was severely impaired after hippocampus removal.

Vocabulary: Semantic coding - storing information based on meaning rather than sound or appearance.

Page 3: Working Memory Model WMMWMM

This page explores the Working Memory Model, which provides a more detailed explanation of short-term memory processing and its components.

Definition: Working memory refers to the active processing and temporary storage of information during complex cognitive tasks.

Highlight: The model consists of four main components:

  • Central Executive: Controls attention and resource allocation
  • Episodic Buffer: Links working memory to long-term memory
  • Phonological Loop: Processes auditory information
  • Visuo-spatial Sketchpad: Handles visual and spatial information

Vocabulary:

  • Phonological Store: Component that temporarily holds speech-based information
  • Articulatory Process: System for maintaining verbal information through rehearsal

Example: FMRI studies by Bunge showed increased central executive activity during dual-task performance, supporting the model's structure.

Page 1: Research into Capacity, Encoding, and Duration

This page details fundamental research into memory systems, focusing on how information is stored and processed. The content explores various studies examining encoding, storage and retrieval examples in memory research.

Definition: Encoding refers to the process of storing information in different formats within memory systems.

Example: Baddeley's research showed that acoustically similar letters are more difficult to recall, demonstrating that STM primarily uses acoustic encoding.

Highlight: Miller's "Magic number 7 ±2" suggests that STM can hold between 5-9 items, though more recent research by Cowan suggests 4 might be more accurate.

Vocabulary: Retention interval - the time between learning and recall in memory experiments.

Quote: "STM duration without recall is 18s-30s" - derived from Peterson & Peterson's research.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

Elisha

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
