Homework for over study leave. Due first lesson back. 1. Read up on the sensory register store and supporting studies in both the blue pack (p 3&4) and the supplementary pack (p 1) – highlight key information. 2. Create ‘flashcards’ for sensory register, STM and LTM. You must include information on coding, capacity and duration; the supporting studies and evaluation points on the studies. Remember this should include ‘cues’ to help recall not all the information! 3. Complete the fill in the gaps activity for the Multi. Store Model. Then, using the description of the multistore model to help you – complete the ‘Describing the MSM’ sheet. (these are available on my teacher page, AL homework)
Example of flashcard for Capacity of STM FRONT BACK STM – Capacity Study – Jacobs • P’s presented random sequence of digits & letters (half a second) and asked to repeat back in the same order. • 9. 3 digits, 7. 3 letters • Age: 8 – 6. 6 digits, 19 – 8. 6 digits - Conclusion: 7 +/- 2 STM – Capacity Study – Jacobs Evaluation • Supporting evidence – Miller – chunking • Individual differences with chunking (Daneman and Carpenter, 1980) • Useful information – teachers & students If you have enough flashcards – it is also worthwhile to just write the titles e. g. STM – Capacity study on the front and the details on the back – then you can test yourself!
