LIMITING FACTORS

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Number of stimuli - exceeded short term memory capacity (7 + or - 2 items)

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Number of stimuli - exceeded short term memory capacity (7 + or - 2 items)

• Time limit - not enough time to encode items reliably into memory, increasing anxiety

LIMITING FACTORS• Number of stimuli - exceeded short term memory capacity (7 + or - 2 items)

• Time limit - not enough time to encode items reliably into memory, increasing anxiety

• Task anxiety - competes for working memory space!

LIMITING FACTORS

LIMITING FACTORS• Difficulty with motor execution of tasks

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Difficulty with motor execution of tasks

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Difficulty with motor execution of tasks • Primacy effect - preferential memory for the first stimulus seen, as it makes a bigger impression for being first and is rehearsed most

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Difficulty with motor execution of tasks • Primacy effect - preferential memory for the first stimulus seen, as it makes a bigger impression for being first and is rehearsed most

• Recency effect - preferential memory for the last items - nothing further to compete for memory space

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

LIMITING FACTORS• Difficulty with motor execution of tasks • Primacy effect - preferential memory for the first stimulus seen, as it makes a bigger impression for being first and is rehearsed most

• Recency effect - preferential memory for the last items - nothing further to compete for memory space

• Primacy + recency effects = losing items in the middle!
