MSM Flashcards
(14 cards)
Who proposed the MSM
Atkinson and Shiffron
How does the MSM travel
Sensory register to STM to LTM
How do you move information between the stores in the msm
SENSORY REGISTER - attention - STM - maintanance rehearsal - prolonged rehearsal - LTM
CCD of sensory register
Codes - modality free
Capacity - high
Duration - low
Uses info from the environment ( iconic and echoic )
CCD of STM
Codes - acoustically
Capacity - 5-9
Duration -18-30 sec
CCD of LTM
Capacity - unlimited
Coding - semantic
Duration - unlimited
What other research already covered can you use as an AO3 strength of MSM
-Baddeleys coding principles
-STM-accoustically
-LTM-semantically
-improves reliability of results as it’s consistent w other research
What it called when you remember info from the LTM
retrieval (from LTM) and then responce (remembering)
What are the two components of the sensory register
iconic and echoic
What does the MSM see the STM and LTM as
unitary stores
Research support, duration of LTM and STM
-Serial position effect
-primary and recency effect
-STM and LTM are unitary stores
-They have different durations
Contradicting case study for STM
-Patient KF
-Poor recall of digits read to him but better recall when he read the digits himself
-Supports different auditory and visual stores in the STM that the WMM don’t have
Contradicting research for prolonged rehearsal
-Research shows that it’s elaborative rehearsal that moves information to LTM
-attaching meaning or a link to information you already know
-Theory incomplete and too simplistic
Additional PEEL
-Clive Wearing -different stores of LTM
-Case studies can’t be generalized
