11/10/14 Using the Correlational Method to Study Sleep Through the Lifespan. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the correlational method as a means for examining the relationship between REM sleep and memory. I will describe previous research and then investigate how REM and memory are associated in young people and in older people. In some ways, the sleep patterns of these two groups are very similar, but in some ways they are not. 1 a. One way in which these patterns differ from each

Evaluate the Multi-Store Model of Memory. Atkinson and Shiffrin proposed the Multi-store model of memory in 1968. The model had two distinct stores known as a Short-term store and a Long term store. The model also unravelled a stimulus from the environment known as the sensory register. The memory model elaborates three stages that take place from information passing to the sensory register then to the short-term memory and eventually stored in the long-term memory. The main features of the sensory

focuses on the study of the structure and function of mental processing. Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) is based on the work of Atkinson and Shriffin and proposes that information is processed and stored in three stages; Sensory memory, Short term memory, and Long-term memory (Schraw & McCrudden, (2013). The CIP perspective on Kermit and the Keyboard focuses first on the input, in this situation this is the printed page. It then evaluates how the information is processed through the recognition
