How to use memory flashcards for A-Level psychology

Memory is one of the most heavily examined areas of A-Level psychology, from the multi-store model to eyewitness testimony. Building A-Level psychology memory flashcards from your own lesson notes keeps the wording your teacher used, which helps when exam answers need precise terms.

Make one card per model, such as the multi-store model or the working memory model.
Add key studies on the back, such as Miller's work on short-term capacity.
Include one evaluation point per topic, such as the limits of lab-based memory research.
Review new cards daily and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss.

Example A-Level psychology memory flashcards

What are the three stores in the multi-store model of memory?Sensory register, short-term memory and long-term memory. Each has its own capacity and duration, which is why the model separates them.

What is the typical capacity of short-term memory according to Miller?About 7 items, plus or minus 2. Chunking lets people hold more meaningful units in the same space.

What does the central executive do in the working memory model?It allocates attention and coordinates the slave systems, such as the phonological loop. It is the component that is limited in capacity and not tied to one sense.

What is retroactive interference?New learning disrupts recall of older material. Learning a new phone number, for example, can make the old one harder to recall.

What is the primacy effect in serial recall?Items at the start of a list are recalled better, usually because they have been rehearsed into long-term memory. The recency effect, by contrast, reflects short-term memory for the last items.
