Two repeated measures experiments were conducted. They aimed to test the hypothesis that there are two distinct storage mechanisms the STM store and the LTM store. More words were recalled at the start of the list because participants had the time to rehearse each word and move it to the long-term memory (LTM) while words at the end of the list where still in the short-term memory (STM) when they were asked to recall the list.īuilding on this research, Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) designed experiments to test their Multi-Store Model of Memory (MSM).

participants asked to free recall a list of 20 words will correctly recall more words at the beginning of the list (primacy effect) and the end of the list (recency effect) than words in the middle of the list.

These ideas were revolutionary and cognitive psychologists produced a considerable outpouring of research studies based on various models of memory.įor example, Murdock (1962) identified the serial position effect, i.e. This data then underwent mental processing.
Read our latest blog-post for students currently studying psychology for the IBDP from Pamoja teacher, Peter AnthonyĬognitive psychologists investigate mental processes by building theoretical models and then testing predictions based on these models.Īs computers became more widespread in the 1960s and 70s, psychologists likened mental processing to the operation of a computer with information inputted through our senses to our brains.
