MSM
50
What kind of model is the MSM meaning organised?
Structural
51
What are the stores of memory according to the MSM?
Unitary
52
How does information flow in the MSM?
Linear way
53
At the start of the MSM, where do we get stimuli from?
The environment
54
Stimuli from the environment enters what store?
Sensory Register
55
What are the two main types of coding in the sensory register?
Iconic (visual)
Echoic (sound)
56
For information to move from the sensory register to STM, what has to happen?
Pay attention
57
To extend the duration of STM, what is the technique?
Maintenance rehersal
58
How do we get information to move from the STM to LTM?
