INTRODUCTION TO MEMORY

ACTIVITY Do you remember?

Try to remember the names of everybody (including your teacher) from your Year 2 class. Write them down and compare with others in the class.

Discuss how many you remembered, reasons why and methods you used to remember them all.

Dot Point #2: Atkinson-Shiffrin’s multi-store model of memory including maintenance and elaborative rehearsal, serial position effect and chunking Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch’s model of working memory: central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer levels of processing as informed by Fergus Craik and Robert Lockhart organisation of long-term memory including declarative and episodic memory, and semantic network theory
