Structural Model
• Memory composed of storage structures that hold memories for a period of time • Sensory memory• Short-term memory (STM)• Long-term memory (LTM)
![Page 5: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Structural Model
• Brief review from last time• Capacity:
• Can hold 7 + or - 2 “chunks”(capacity)• Chunking increases capacity of STM
• Encoding: • Info mostly stored in auditory form (but
some visual, some semantic)• Duration:
• Brown/Peterson task: decay, gone by 15-20 sec
• Keppel & Underwood; Waugh and Norman suggest interference as better explanation
• Retrieval:
![Page 6: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Two groups of subjects given 3 trials following the Brown-Peterson task (letters) - Memory performance declined with each trial• Control group given a 4th trial using letters• Experimental group switched to remembering digits
Wickens, Born, & Allen (1963)
STM Duration
• Changing the nature of the items to be remembered reverses the decline in performance due to proactive interference- release from proactive interference• Proactive interference: already learned info
interferes with new information
• Retroactive interference: new information interferes with old information (more on this in chapter 6)
![Page 7: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
• Experimental group, but not control group, performed perfectly; they were released from proactive interference
Wickens, Born, & Allen (1963)
STM Duration
• Changing the nature of the items to be remembered reverses the decline in performance due to proactive interference- release from proactive interference
![Page 8: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
• Proactive interference occurring as a result of semantic coding in STM
• 5 groups of subjects given 3 trials of lists of 3 words each all from the same category where all list contained names of fruit
Wickens (1970, 1972, 1976)
• Group 1 – names of fruit
• Group 2 – vegetable names
• Group 3 – flower names
• Group 4 - names of meats
• Group 5 – names of different professions
• Then all groups given a 4 trial where all list contained names of fruit
STM Duration
![Page 9: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Wickens (1970, 1972, 1976)
STM Duration
1st trial all
groups about 90% correct
• Results:
2nd trial more words in same category
all groups about 50%
3rd trial words still in same category
all groups 35–45 %
4th trial , shift to fruit category
professions 80%, meat 50%, flowers 47%, vegetables 40% and fruit 32%
![Page 10: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Wickens (1970, 1972, 1976)
STM Duration
• Results:
• Conclusion: • Interference rather than decay causes the drop in
performance• Information was coded using semantic information
causing groups to confuse current list with previous lists
![Page 11: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
STM Duration
• Duration: • STM is short store of about 15-20 s• Loss of information initially thought to
be due to decay. • More recent work suggests
interference more likely reason
![Page 12: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STM Retrieval
How do we get information out of STM?
•Retrieval from STM appears to operate by searching STM contents one at a time (serial search)
• Sternberg (1966)• Serial position recall curves: primacy and recency
![Page 13: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STM Retrieval
• study short list of 1 to 6 items followed by test probe - must decide if probe item was in list, measured time to make Y/N response
• Two important variables were involved• The number of letters in each list• The location of the letter in the memory probe – in the
beginning, middle, or end
Sternberg (1966)
![Page 14: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Serial processing• Operations being done one after
another• It should take longer to retrieve four
digits than to retrieve two digits• Exhaustive serial processing – the
participant always checks the test digit against all digits in the set, even if a match were found partway through the list
• Self-terminating serial processing – the participant would check the test digit against only those digits needed to make a response
STM Retrieval
• Parallel processing• Simultaneous
handling of multiple operations
• Response times should be the same, regardless of the size of the set of items, because all comparisons would be done at once
Sternberg (1966)
![Page 15: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Results• Response times increased
linearly with set size but were the same regardless of serial position
• It indicates that serial exhaustive model seems to be right
• Subjects take longer to respond by probe (by 40 ms) when an additional item is added to the list
• Same results for probes that were in the list and probes that were not
STM Retrieval
• Conclusion: people search all items in STM when asked to retrieve an item (happens very fast)
• Automatic process - fast and efficient, done for every item – doesn’t stop once a match is found
Sternberg (1966)
![Page 16: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Serial Position Curve: Free recall
STM Retrieval• Primacy: • better recall for
items in the beginning of the list than those in the middle
• Recency:• better recall for
items at the end of the list than those in the middle
![Page 17: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Models of STM propose that • Primacy is due to more rehearsal for items at beginning of
list - LTM• Recency due to immediate dumping of items from STM
Free recall Curve
From Murdock (1962)
• Primacy: • better recall for
items in the beginning of the list than those in the middle
• Recency:• better recall for
items at the end of the list than those in the middle
STM Retrieval
![Page 18: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Models of STM propose that • Primacy is due to more rehearsal for items at beginning of
list - LTM• Recency due to immediate dumping of items from STM• Recency is stronger effect than primacy in free recall
Free recall Curve vs. serial recall curves
• Primacy: • better recall for
items in the beginning of the list than those in the middle
• Recency:• better recall for
items at the end of the list than those in the middle
• due to retrieval from STM
From Klien et al. (2005)
STM Retrieval
![Page 19: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Modal Model of STM: Summary
• Duration: STM is short store of about 20 s
• Capacity:• Can hold 7 + or - 2 “chunks”(capacity)• Chunking increases capacity of STM
• Encoding: Info mostly stored in auditory form
• Retrieval: Modal models suggest recency effects mostly due to STM retrieval
![Page 20: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Problems with the Modal Models
• When distractor task is done after every list item preventing items from staying in STM, recency effect still occurs
• Primacy effects have also been shown to disappear when rehearsal is prevented
• Long-term recency effects• Baddeley and Hitch (1977) Rugby Study
• Question: “Which teams have you played this past season?”
• Results:• Recency effect: Recent games were recalled best.
• The total number of games played, not the amount of time gone by, best predicted forgetting.
![Page 21: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
More Recent Models
• Current models focus more on processing (than structures) and that include STM in some form (storage and manipulation of information)• There are multiple models that have been called “Working
Memory,” designed to account for similar sets of data
Vision
Touch
Hearing
STM
Rehearsal
WM
LTM• Models of WM assume:• That STM is a
storage unit and that WM = processes involved in completing a task
• That WM requires consciousness - includes info we are currently attending to
![Page 22: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Working Memory
• Today we will talk about 3 theories of WM• Baddeley’s model of WM (Baddeley,
1986, 2000)• Cowan’s activation model (Cowan,
1988, 1995)• Nairne’s feature model (Nairne, 1988,
2001)
![Page 23: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Baddeley’s Model
• Currently the most influential model• Baddeley and Hitch (1974)
• Components of the model:• Central executive controls the focus of
attention • Three subsystems under its control
• Visuospatial sketchpad• Phonological loop• Episodic buffer
![Page 24: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Central Executive
• Thought to be an attentional controller, with two main modes of operation (Norman & Shallice, 1986):• A semi-automatic conflict-resolution system,
based on existing habits and requiring little attention.
• The supervisory attentional system (SAS), based on an attentionally limited executive.
• Major Functions:• Direct attention to the task at hand• Divide attention between two or more tasks

Visuo-spatial Sketchpad
• Stores and manipulates visual and spatial information of images
• May be separate parts for visual info (color) and spatial info (orientation, location)
• Info enters through perception or internally generated visual images
• Controls tasks like mental rotation and geographical search of a visual or mental image

Visuo-spatial Sketchpad
Baddeley (1992) • found that subjects’ memory for chess patterns
was more disrupted by a visual distractor task than an auditory oneShepard and Feng (1972)
• Imagine folding the shapes below to create a solid, with the shaded area as the base. Will the arrows meet head on?
•found that the time it takes to answer the question depends on the number of folds required

Episodic Buffer
• Back-up storage - allows for recall when other systems are engaged with other tasks• A storage system with a capacity of around 4 chunks of
information in a multidimensional code.• Multiple dimensions permit links between the subsystems, as
well as with LTM & perception.
• Information is retrieved through conscious awareness – consciousness pulls info together.
• Allows for the binding of previously unrelated concepts -- disrupting the executive does not impair binding, so it may be automatic/passive.
• Newest component of the model, not much research yet

Phonological Loop• Two parts: Phonological Store (PS) and
Articulatory Control Process (ACP)• PS - stores auditory info for 1-2 s and then it starts to
decay• ACP - recodes visual info into auditory code for
storage and controls rehearsal
• 4 Main Effects in Serial Recall Task to account for• Phonological similarity effect• Articulatory suppression effect• Irrelevant speech effect• Word length effect

Phonological Loop
• Memory worse for items that sound alike than those that look alike or have similar meanings
• Visual items are recoded to auditory for storage and rehearsal by ACP
• List 1 (Easy to remember/dissimilar phonology and semantics): • PIT, DAY, COW, PEN, HOT
• List 2 (Only slightly harder than List #1/similar semantics) :• HUGE, WIDE, BIG, LONG,
TALL• List 3 (Much harder than List
#1/similar phonology) :• CAT, MAP, MAN, CAP, MAD• What happens if you prevent the recoding of
visual information into auditory information?
• Works for both auditory presentation and visual presentation of the letters.
• Phonological Similarity Effect
![Page 37: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Phonological Loop• Articulatory Suppression Effect
• Engaging in an auditory task after study removes phonological similarity effect for visual items• Procedure: Say “the” aloud over and over
• No re-coding of visual info by ACP• Phonological info gets in directly, doesn’t need re-coding
Auditory presentation: PGTCD (similar sounding) harder to recall than RHXKW (different sounding)Visual presentation: PGTCD (similar sounding) recalled equally as RHXKW (different sounding)
![Page 38: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Phonological Loop• Irrelevant Speech Effect
• Background speech presented during study decreases memory for visual items
• Irrelevant speech interferes with recoding of visual info to auditory
• Visual info weak in WM
• Something stored in the visuospatial sketchpad, but this system not as efficient as the phonological loop
![Page 39: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Phonological Loop• Word-length Effect
Results• Recall decreases as the
length of time it takes to say a word increases.
• Rehearsal takes longer for longer words - can’t rehearse as many times
Baddeley, Thomson, and Buchanan (1975)
• Retrieval from PS also takes longer due to auditory coding of items
• Reading rate correlated with memory ability• Digit span depends on language - how long it takes to
say numbers
![Page 40: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Potential Problems with the model• Some of the supportive results can’t be
replicated (e.g., irrelevant speech effect)• Model can’t explain all results:
• why word-length effect is larger for visual than auditory items
• why it differs based on serial list position
• Model is not precise in explanation of effects
Baddeley’s Model
![Page 41: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cowan’s Activation Model
• Cowan (1999)
• WM = info that is currently highly activated from STM or LTM
• Focus of attention• Emphasizes attention’s
role in activation• Activation of info when
attention is oriented to it
• Activation will decay to cause loss of info from WM
STM
WM
![Page 42: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Cowan’s Activation Model
• Central Executive • Focuses attention and
other control processes• Capacity of about 4 chunks
• Duration of 20s without reactivation
• STM• activated items that
are just outside of attention - passive store• Things within attentional
focus are available to consciousness
STM
WM
![Page 43: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Potential problems with the model• Only general descriptions so specific
predictions are hard to make• Activation is not operationally defined very
well - when is something is “activated”?• What causes decay? Passage of time isn’t
causal
Cowan’s Activation Model
![Page 44: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Nairne’s Feature Model
• Items represented in WM as individual features (e.g., color, length, etc.)• Features indicate
• presentation info (e.g., font, size, gender of voice, etc.) • meaning info (e.g., what the item means, category, etc.)
• Features represented by -1 or +1 when studied (yes or no for a feature, 0 if no info for feature)
• Interference: Later items with same features overwrite feature info for previous items
![Page 45: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Nairne’s Feature Model
Bold Lower Upper Blue
SCHOOL +1 -1 +1 -1
fish +1 +1 -1 -1
• “fish” presented after “SCHOOL”
- features in common can be overwritten - SCHOOL can become 0, -1, +1, 0
- interference
During retrieval, item features are compared with items in memory - lost features can be updated and restored
![Page 46: PSY 368 Human Memory Short Term Memory cont. Working Memory](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56649ea25503460f94ba64cc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Nairne’s Feature Model
• Quantitative model - numerical predictions are possible - can simulate data to generate predictions for studies• Simulations show that model can predict:
1) Recency effect2) Suffix effect
3) Phonological similarity effect
