Considers the ROLE OF COGNITION IN HUMAN
BEHAVIOUR
E.G. PERCEPTION, MEMORY, ATTENTION
compares cognitive processing to computer
processing
COGNITIVE
MULTI-STORY MEMORY MODEL Suggests memory is either short-term or long-term
Considers how components of memory deal with auditory, visual and episodic
THEORIES
WORKING MEMORY MODEL
information
RECONSTRUCTIVE MEMORY Suggests memory is a reconstruction of past events which relies on schemas and results
in confabulation
TULVING’S LONG TERM MEMORY Suggests long term memory has separate episodic and semantic memory
GLANZER AND CUNITZ (1966) Free recall test that found evidence of the serial position effect
STUDIES
BADDELEY (1966b) Found short term memory relies on acoustic encoding and long term memory relies on semantic encoding
SCHMOLK ET AL (2002) Found that damage to the anterolateral temporal cortex is consistent with a loss of semantic
knowledge
HM (1953) Suffered anterograde amnesia after bilateral removal of hippocampus
