Page 2: Bartlett's Study and Perception Theories
This page explores Bartlett's War of the Ghosts study from 1932 and introduces Gibson's direct theory of perception.
Definition: Reconstructive memory theory suggests that memories are rebuilt based on individual experiences and expectations.
The methodology of Bartlett's study involved:
Highlight: Results showed significant story alterations as participants modified details to align with their cultural understanding.
Quote: "Memory is not accurate at recording events but constructed and reconstructed to fit with individuals' own experiences."
Gibson's direct theory of perception introduces:
Vocabulary:
This page details Bartlett's 1932 study and introduces Gibson's direct theory of perception.
Definition: Gibson's direct theory suggests perception occurs purely through sensory information without internal processing.
Example: Motion parallax demonstrates how closer objects appear to move faster than distant ones in our visual field.
Highlight: Bartlett's study revealed how memory reconstruction is influenced by cultural background and personal experiences.

Page 1: Multi-Store Model and Murdock's Study
The page introduces the fundamental concepts of memory psychology, particularly focusing on the multi store model of memory atkinson and shiffrin.
Definition: The multi-store model consists of three distinct memory stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
Highlight: Short-term memory has a capacity of 7±2 items with a duration of approximately 18 seconds.
The page details Murdock's serial position curve study method, which involved:
Example: The serial position effect demonstrates better recall of words at the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect) of a list.
