Describe one study related to one model of memory.

Refer to the paper 1 section A markbands when awarding marks. These can be found under the “Your tests” tab > supplemental materials.

The command term “describe” requires candidates to give a detailed account of one study related to one model of memory. The description of the study should include the aim, procedure and findings of the chosen study.

Appropriate models of memory may include, but are not limited to:

• Flashbulb memory
• Levels of Processing Model.
• Multi-Store Model of Memory
• Schema theory
• Working Memory Model

Relevant studies could include but are not limited to:

• Baddely and Hitch’s (1974) study on the Working Memory Model
• Bartlett’s (1924) study of the effect of schema on memory storage
• Craik and Lockhart’s (1972) study on the Levels of Processing Model.
• Glanzer and Cunitz’s (1966) study on the primacy and recency effects in free recall
• Milner’s (1966) case study of HM.

If a candidate describes more than one study, credit should be awarded only to the first study.

If a candidate describes an appropriate model of memory but does not refer to a relevant study, apply the markbands up to a maximum of [4].
