Basic Memory Notes - Psychology PYA1

The text discusses different aspects of memory and forgetting, focusing on both short-term and long-term memory. It explains that information can be lost from long-term memory either due to trace decay, where the information is completely lost, or cue-dependent forgetting, where the information remains but cannot be accessed.

forgotten information still in LTM but cannot be obtained

info is forgotten from LTM is completely lost

Peterson & Peterson (1959) found interference task resulted in poor recall > info has been pushed out by interference task

If STM is full, incoming info pushes out the current info

Peterson & Peterson (1959) found interference task resulted in poor recall > info decays if not rehearsed

Results could support the idea of displacement because the ineterference task has required the STM to focus on that.

Likely that:

1. Displacement occurs only when STM is overloaded

2. STM forgetting is due to decay as attention is being averted to other info

info that is not rehearsed fades from STM
