A cooking class is teaching participants how to make a complex new dish. The instructor demonstrates the steps while explaining them verbally. Participants then attempt to replicate the dish at their stations. During the class, one participant, Emily, is distracted by a notification on her phone and misses a crucial step in the demonstration.
a. Describe how Emily’s sensory memory would have initially processed both the instructor’s demonstration and the phone notification, according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin multi-store model. (2 marks)

In this unit students investigate the contribution that classical and contemporary research has made to the understanding of the functioning of the nervous system and to the understanding of the biological, psychological and social factors that influence learning and memory. Students examine how the human nervous system enables a person to interact with the world around them and explore how stress may affect a person’s psychological functioning. Students investigate how mechanisms of learning and memory lead to the acquisition of knowledge and the development of new and changed behaviours. A student-designed scientific investigation involving the generation of primary data related to mental processes and psychological functioning may be undertaken in either Unit 3 or Unit 4, or across both Units 3 and 4, and is assessed in Unit 4 Outcome 3.
In this area of study students evaluate models to explain learning and apply knowledge of how learning occurs in a range of contexts. They explore memory as the process by which knowledge is encoded, stored and later retrieved, as illustrated by multi-store models of memory and the interconnectedness of brain regions in storing explicit and implicit memories. Students consider the use of mnemonics and the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges in understanding memory and learning.
