Multi-store Model of Memory & Types of Long-Term Memory (AQA A Level Psychology)

Two types of long-term memory are procedural memory and episodic memory.

Explain two differences between procedural memory and episodic memory.

In an investigation into memory, participants were presented with two different lists of words. 

After seeing the lists, participants were tested on their ability to recall the words.

When tested immediately, participants found it more difficult to recall the words from List A in the correct order.

When tested after 30 minutes, participants found it more difficult to recall the words from List B in the correct order.

Using your knowledge of coding in memory, explain these findings.

Outline and evaluate research into duration in memory.

Most PIN codes are 4 digits long and are easy to remember. In contrast, mobile phone numbers are 11 digits long. Most people would not be able to remember a friend’s new mobile phone number unless they were able to say it to themselves several times without interruption.
