Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
![Page 4: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
• example: temporarily remembering a phone number
![Page 5: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Duration? Capacity?
• How could one measure these parameters?
![Page 6: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task:
• subject is given a trigram (e.g. C-F-W) to remember
• vocal rehearsal is prevented by counting backwards
• recall accuracy tested as a function of retention interval
![Page 7: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• STM decays over seconds
![Page 8: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task Interpretation: rapid
loss of information in STM (over a period of seconds…much longer than sensory memory)
![Page 9: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– How might you measure capacity?
![Page 10: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of
to-be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
![Page 11: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of
to-be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
– Result: Subjects are successful up to about 7 items
![Page 12: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!
![Page 13: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !
![Page 14: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !– It seems that the “capacity” of STM (at
least measured in this way) depends on the rate of speech - faster speech leads to apparently larger capacity
– Some believe capacity is “2 - 3 seconds worth of speech”
![Page 15: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
![Page 16: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
– Instead, it seems that information “piles up” and begins to interfere
![Page 17: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
![Page 18: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning
![Page 19: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning– Subjects are given successive recall tasks
with list items from the same category (e.g. fruits)
– final list is of either same or different category - how is good is recall on this list?
![Page 20: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Accuracy rebounds if category changes
![Page 21: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Coding in STM
• How is information coded in STM?
![Page 22: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate
of speech
![Page 23: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate
of speech– phonological similarity effect: similar
sounding words are harder to store/recall than different sounding words
![Page 24: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate
of speech– phonological similarity effect: similar
sounding words are harder to store/recall than different sounding words
What does this suggest about the nature of information in STM?
![Page 25: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It seems that information can be stored in a linguistic or phonological form
![Page 26: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It seems that information can be stored in a linguistic or phonological form
Must it be stored this way?
![Page 27: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Coding in STM
• It is also possible to “keep in mind” non-verbal information, such as a map
Are there two different STM systems?
![Page 28: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A Modular Approach to STM
Articulatory Loop
Central Executive
Visuospatial Sketchpad
Experiment 1 in the article by Lee Brooks demonstrates a double dissociation between Articulatory Loop and Visuospatial Sketchpad
![Page 29: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Lee Brooks: interference between different representations in STM (Experiment 1)– Memory Representation
• verbal task: categorize words in a sentence• spatial task: categorize corners in a block letter
– Response Modality• verbal response: say “yes” or “no”• spatial response: point to “yes” or “no”
![Page 30: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Verbal Task: indicate if each word is or is not a noun– “I went to the store to buy a loaf of bread.”– N N N N Y N N N Y N Y
![Page 31: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Spatial Task: indicate if each corner points outside
FY Y
Y
N
![Page 32: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• In both tasks the information needed must be maintained (represented) in working memory
![Page 33: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Response Modalities:
Say: “yes” “no” “no” Point to: Y or N
Verbal Spatial
Y NY NY NY NY N
![Page 34: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Both response modalities also engage working memory
![Page 35: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”
• Prediction: – There should be interference when response
modality and task representation engage the same module
– if there is only one kind of module, then there should be interference between every pairing of representation to response
![Page 36: Read: Loftus for Tuesday Vokey for April 14 Idea Journals due on the 16th.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d2c5503460f94a02092/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Working Memory “Modules”

Working Memory “Modules”
• Interpretation:– supports notion of modularity in Working
Memory (visuospatial sketchpad / articulatory loop)
