MSM Flashcards
intro to MSM
Atkinson and Shiffrin use the MSM to show that info flows through memory. It is a structural model that states that the sensory register,STM,LTM are separate unitary stores. The info flows in a linear way
what are the first 2 steps of the MSM
Information from the environment
5 senses
sensory register-code,capacity, duration
coding:any
capacity:unlimited
duration:< 1s
STM-coding, capacity, duration
coding:acoustically
capacity:5-9 items
duration:18-30 seconds
what is the purpose of maintenance rehearsal
increase duration
LTM-coding,capacity, duration
coding:semantically
capacity:unlimited
duration:lifetime
A03:Baddeley
P:RTS by Baddeley
E:ppts mix up words that sound similar in their STM but words that mean similar in the LTM
E: shows STM=acoustic,LTM=semantic
L:increase val
A03:Clive Wearing
P:clive
E:can’t transfer from STM to LTM, wife re enters room greets like never seen her
E:separate and must flow in linear way
L:Increase val
A03: Clive negative
P: low pop val
E: amnesia,rare case
E: typical brain may work different
L: reduce ex val
