question

Evaluate Schema theory

answer

proven useful in explaining perception, memory and reasoning can explain reconstructive memory, stereotyping, gender identity and cultural differences Cohen argued that the schema concept is to vague to be useful schema theory focuses on inaccuracy of memory when most of the time people remember accurately

question

evaluate two models or theories of one cognitive process 1

answer

Multi-store model. atkinson and shiffrin supported by indivituals with amnesia, e.g. H.M and Clive Wearing the model allowed humans to be seen as information processors very simplistic research into the encoding of LTM has been disproved memory is more complex not enough focus on interaction between the stores rehearsal is not enough to explain the transfer of information to LTM

question

evaluate two models or theories of one cognitive process 2

answer

Working memory model. baddeley and hitch useful in understanding problems in reading and maths skills broadly accepted and considered important in understanding memory and cognitive processes focuses on integrating information too much emphasis on structure rather than processing what is the role of the central executive

question

compare the two models of memory

answer

provide possible architecture of the memory system STM in a temporary storage with limited capacity and duration

question

contrast the two models of memory

answer

MSM focuses on entire memory system WMM focuses primarily on STM MSM simplistic and doesnt focus on interaction between stores WMM focuses on possible interactions between stores

question
