Humbugs and Christmas Homework!






First Term in Psychology already done and dusted...but what can you remember?

On your return you will be assessed on Cognitive Psychology studies so far. Key issues are:
  • Multi Store Model
  • Working Memory Model
  • EWT - possible problems with it.
For each area you will want to know key research and appropriate technical terms. For the research use the Aims, Procedures, Findings, Conclusions, Criticisms model wherever possible (remember these on your hands).

Research to look at:
  • Peterson + Peterson 1959 pg 5
  • Bahrick etal 1975 pg 5
  • Jacobs 1887 pg 6
  • Baddeley 1966a+b Pg 7
  • Sperling 1960 Pg 9
  • Glanzer + Cunitz 1966 Pg 9
  • Baddeley + Hitch 1976 Pg 13(or learn the song!!!)
  • Loftus + Palmer 1974 Pg 16
  • Loftus etal 1987 Pg 18
  • Yarmey 1993 Pg 19


Also be aware of use of technical language. Pages 24-25 + 108+109 provide useful glossaries.
