THEORIES OF MEMORY Psychology GCSE / iGCSE; GCE A Level / iA Level / IB

A teacher resource booklet containing the main features of the most common theories and explanations of memory.

This is an editable 42-page word document whereby you can select content relevant to your programme of study. It is aimed upwards to A Level / IB standard, so for GCSE you can ‘cut-down’. All the content includes the main principles of the theory / explanation and evaluative points.

Topics included are:

1 What is cognitive psychology?
2 Encoding
3 Storage
4 Retrieval, recognition, and recall
5 The multi-store model of memory (Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968)
6 The working memory model of short-term memory (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974).
7 Episodic and semantic model of long-term memory (Tulving, 1972).
8 Reconstructive memory and schema theory, (Bartlett, 1932).
9 Brain regions and long-term memory
10 Forgetting: Displacement, context, and interference
11 Memory Inaccuracy

From this you can adapt to your own student booklets, handouts and powerpoints to meet your own teaching styles and course structures.

To match with this I also have a STUDIES OF MEMORY booklet containing a selection of key studies that are commonly used in specification and/or as supporting evidence for the main theories.

(If you are looking for AQA GCSE Psychology I have a separate full resource pack available that includes all booklets, handouts and ready made powerpoints).
