Pot luck
100
A packet of information.
What is a schema
100
Reading a story and then recalling it several times.
What is repeated reproduction?
100
When a studies results are consistent.
What is meant by reliable?
100
It has real-world practical application and helps us understand why memory can become distorted.
What is a strength of Bartlett's theory of reconstructive memory?
100
When we add details into our recall to give a reason for something that may not have originally fitted with a schema.
What is rationalisation?
200
An interpretation of past events using schemas
What is active reconstruction?
200
Reading a story and then retelling it to another person who then tells it to a third, and so on.
What is serial reproduction?
200
Using qualitative analysis.
How did Bartlett interpret his data/results?
200
They can misremember certain events, which may lead to the wrong person being prosecuted for an offence.
How can eyewtinesses be affected by reconstructive memory?
200
When details are changed to make them more familiar and rational.
What are transformations?
300
When we change unfamiliar details to align with our own schema.
What is familiarisation?
300
To test the nature of reconstructive memory using an unfamiliar story.
What was the aim?
300
Where the procedure of a study is the same across all conditions.

400
When we leave out unfamiliar, irrelevant or unpleasant details when remembering something.
What are omissions?
400
Qualitative
What type of data analysis did Bartlett use?
400
Mathematical calculations performed on data to see whether the findings could be due to chance
What is statistical analysis
400
The extent to which the findings still explain the behaviour in different situations.
What is ecological validity?
400
'Canoe' became 'boat' and 'hunting' was recalled as 'fishing'.
What is an example of how the stories details changed?
500
Throughout our lives through experiences.
How are schemas formed?
500
They followed a similar form, meaning the first reproduction tended to remain in later reproductions.
What did he find with repeated reproductions?
500
He did not always allow participants to recall the story at the same time and her allowed each participant to read the story at their own pace.
Describe limitations of Bartlett's procedure.
500
Based on personal feelings or opinion.
