CODING, CAPACITY, AND DURATION:
A) What is coding?
B) What is capacity?
C) What is duration?
A) Refers to the format or type of information which is stored.
B) Refers to the volume of information which is stored.
C) Refers to the amount of time the information can be stored.
CODING, CAPACITY, AND DURATION:
A) Within short-term memory how is information coded?
B) Within long-term memory how is information coded?
A) In STM, information is coded accoustically
B) In LTM, information is coded semantically
CODING, CAPACITY, AND DURATION:
A) What is the capacity of the STM?
B) What is the capacity of the LTM?
A) The capacity of the STM is 7+/-2
B) The capacity of the LTM is unlimited
CODING, CAPACITY, AND DURATION:
A) What is the duration of the STM?
B) What is the duration of the LTM?
A) The duration of the STM is 18-30 seconds
B) The duration of the LTM is unlimited.
CODING, CAPACITY, AND DURATION:
BAHRICK ET AL 1975

90%
THE MULTI STORE MODEL OF MEMORY:
What are the three stores in the MSMM?
The sensory register
The STM
The LTM
THE MULTI STORE MODEL OF MEMORY:
What is the sensory register for?
Contains one sub store for each of the senses.
THE MULTI STORE MODEL OF MEMORY:
What is the capacity and the duration of the Sensory register?
The capacity is huge
The duration is a few seconds.
THE MULTI STORE MODEL OF MEMORY:
What is one strength?
What is one weakness?
Strength : Acknowledges the differencs between the LTM and the STM
Weakness: Incorrectly portrays the STM as a singular, unitary store.
TYPES OF LONGTERM MEMORY:
What are the three types of longterm memory?
Episodic
Semantic
Procedural
