This lesson is jam packed with activities that will keep your students thinking and engaged throughout the lesson. It has links to research methods and is indepth but not overwhelming. It is differentiated and so would suit students of all abilities.
Activity Description:
Students are given a list of real-life examples and are asked to sort each example into one of the three types of long-term memory, They also have a summary table that sums up the main content of the long term memory, this can be used to compare each type of long term memory.
Examples to Sort:
Here are a few from the activity:
Remembering your 10th birthday party → Episodic
Knowing that Paris is the capital of France → Semantic
Riding a bike → Procedural
Lastly, on the second page there is an area for essay planing and 3 evaluations to be completed.
This task helps learners apply definitions to practical examples, reinforcing their understanding through categorisation.
Resource Description
This worksheet provides a structured table format where students are expected to fill in the key features of the three main memory stores proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968):
Sensory Memory (SM)
Short-Term Memory (STM)
Long-Term Memory (LTM)
Learning Objective
“Students will be able to recall and describe the key components and processes of the Multi-Store Model of Memory.”
Key Features Covered in the Table
Students are prompted to complete the following aspects for each memory store:
Duration
Capacity
Encoding
Transfer to next store
Forgetting
Key Researcher(s)
Purpose & Use
This is an interactive resource aimed at:
Reinforcing theoretical knowledge.
Encouraging active recall.
Supporting exam preparation for topics in GCSE / A-Level Psychology.
Working Memory Model: Fill-in-the-Diagram Activity
Objective:
Label and explain the components of the Working Memory Model by filling in the missing parts on a diagram.

This PDF provides a summary of interference theory as an explanation for forgetting in long-term memory, aimed at AQA A-level Psychology students. It covers:
A key study by McGeoch & McDonald (1931), which showed that similar information leads to more forgetting due to retroactive interference.
An explanation of the two types of interference: proactive and retroactive.
AO3 evaluation points, including:
Strengths of lab studies (e.g., high control and reliability).
Evidence from real-life research, such as Baddeley & Hitch (1977) with rugby players, supporting the theory’s real-world application.
It also encourages students to consider both strengths and limitations, such as the use of artificial materials in lab studies.
Title: Explanations for Forgetting: Retrieval Failure
Purpose:
This is a revision worksheet designed to help students understand retrieval failure as an explanation for forgetting, especially for psychology exams (likely A-Level or similar).
Main Features:
Key Theory Defined:
Encoding Specificity Principle (ESP) is highlighted as the foundation for retrieval failure.
Two Key Studies with Fill-in-the-Blanks:
Context-Dependent Forgetting (Godden & Baddeley, 1975)
State-Dependent Forgetting (Carter & Cassaday, 1998)
Each study has gaps in the Aim, Participants, Procedure, Findings, and Conclusion for students to complete — encouraging active recall.
Evaluation Section:
Short bullet points listing important evaluation areas:
Supporting evidence
Questioning context effects
Recall versus recognition
Real-life application
