Why Does Forgetting Occur? STM – Primarily interference, although time plays a role LTM – Almost entirely interference; It is usually a retrieval failure
Levels of Processing Theory:A Popular Alternative to the Information-Processing Model There is no separate STM & LTM The depth at which you process an incoming stimulus Determines how well it is remembered Deeper processing leads to better memory
Levels of Processing: An Example A memory experiment where subjects process information in one of three ways: Physical Appearance: “Is the word printed in capital letters? Acoustic Processing: “Does the word rhyme with ‘pain’?” Semantic Processing: “Does the word fit in the following sentence?: Bill ate the ________ for lunch yesterday.”

Why is Eyewitness Testimony so Unreliable? • Perceptual Errors • Inadequate Attention • Less than ideal perceptual circumstances • Selective Perception (e.g., Weapon Focus) • The Way Police Lineups are Used • The Nature of Questioning • Ineptitude with Numerical Information • Rehearsal
