Msm Flashcards
What is the first step in the memory process according to the model?
Information reaches our senses from the environment and enters our memory system through the sensory register
How long does information register in the sensory register?
For only very brief periods
What process allows some information from the sensory register to pass to STM?
Attention
What is maintenance rehearsal?
Repeating information to store it for a limited time
How can information be kept in STM indefinitely?
Through maintenance rehearsal
What is elaborative rehearsal?
Thinking about the meaning of the information in STM
What type of coding occurs when information passes to the long-term store?
Semantic coding
What is the capacity of the long-term store?
Unlimited capacity
What is the first key claim of the model?
Each store is unitary: each is just one store with no separate parts
What is the second key claim of the model?
Each store is separate to the others
What features differ between each memory store?
Capacity, duration, and coding
True or False: One memory store can be damaged while another remains intact.
True
