What are the explanations for why memory improvement techniques work? I know its because of organisation and the dual processing, but how does it work?

Posted from TSR Mobile

you won't be asked how they work really, for example it'll most likely be an application question on what they are, so if you use loci for example, just add at the end the room acts as a trigger to remember the word, also by combining the room and the word it is giving it meaning so it's more likely to enter the LTM

Sorry really quickly could you outline the Jacobs and Conrad study, as I don't have either of them? My teacher said I didn't need to know anything like this, only the basics like the models and EWT :frown:

Jacobs study was on capacity. He used the dual span technique so he gave particpants a small amount of digits to remember and letters and asked them to recall it. He then added a letter and a digit each time participants recalled it correctly. He found that capacity is then 5-9 items. I can't remember Conrad I need to look at it myself.

Have you got any tips on how to get the higher marks, I seem to know most studies etc but I'm still nervous, how do I elaborate on points etc.

I think the Working Memory Model is more likely to come up compared to the Multi Store Model, since the last time WMM made an appearance as a 12 marker was in Jan 11, whereas the MSM was more recent. But then institutionalisation hasn't come up since June 10...

I'm mostly going over my 12 markers for WMM, institutionalisation and learning theory.

i personally think WWM, privation, institutionalisation or attachment theories

I'm struggling on this too! Basically evolutionary theorists propose there is a sensitive period where attachment can form with Bowlby proposing this occurs the 3-4 month mark and with attachment more difficult in the months that follow

he changed the name of it from critical to sensitive because of criticisms

''Explain how research into attachment has influenced childcare practices'' (12 marks)

What would I have to write about day care? My teacher gave us a sheet with loads of day care studies which are only a few sentences long and I don't even know how to explain their influence on childcare practices. I know what features make a good day care eg low staff turnover but the studies we learnt don't back that up. Help?

Thank you that really helped! I suppose i should go over all these little bits, they might just come up.. Good luck for tomorrow! :smile:

Is Yarmey's study enought to get 6 marks for A01 on age and EWT? Could you use Christiansen and Hubinette as an opposing research finding for A02?

Haha thanks :biggrin:

I'm feeling confident, hopefully there isn't a 12 marker on day care and I should be okay!

Don't think this will be a 12 marker, will it?

This website posted predictions about possible 12 markers, and the question I wrote was one of them :frown:

Even if it was a 4 marker, how would I answer it?

I would use Penelope Leach et al
-1200 children and families from North London and Oxfordshire
-Interviews when babies were 3 months, 10 months, 18 months and 36 months
Found: - Care under mothers had significant advantage
- High staff turnover = disadvantage and daycares need a high staff:child ratio

For Robertson and Robertson, do you define each of PDD and then say when John displayed each?

My notes don't have any specific studies on Institutionalisation (or whatever it's called) or Privation.
Is an example of privation Curtiss' study of Genie and also the Czech twins?
What studies are there of institutionalisation?
Thanks :smile:
