HM - A Case study

Homework

Does the case study of HM provide evidence for Atkinson and Shiffrin's Multi Store Model (1968)? You may argue yes because... no because... or to some extent...

It should take you about 20 minutes of reading + re-reading plus 10 minutes to write your answer to be returned in the next lesson.

Don't forget...

Well done bloggers. Your next challenge is to use at least one of the techniques of memory improvement to prepare yourself for the next lesson when you will be asked a 4 mark question on one memory improvement strategy.

It is important that you have a real go at using one of the techniques - some of you have already indicated that you use such techniques from last week.

There are two sites below you can hyperlink to if you need a refresher of the information (don't get anxious if you see studies we have not named in lessons - in some topics there are thousands of studies out there, you need to be able to refer to key studies and I will highlight these to you).
