MSM of memory Flashcards
1
Q
Which two psychologists created the MSM memory
A
- Atkinson & Shiffrins
2
Q
Imagine/ draw out the MSM diagram
A
check what you drew online or smth
3
Q
What is the sensory register
A
- our sensory register is a memory store, it picks up environmental stimuli
4
Q
What are the two main stores in the SR
A
- Iconic and echoic memory
5
Q
Material in SR lasts very _______, The duration is ____ _ ______.
It has a high ________.
Key process is _________.
A
- briefly
- half a second
- capacity
- attention
6
Q
1- What is the capacity of the STM store
2- How is STM coded
3- What is the duration
4- We keep info in our STM through ____________ _________. If we rehearse it long enough it passes through to our LTM store.
A
- 7+/-2
- acoustically
- 18-30 seconds (so i guess 20 right)
- maintenance rehearsal
7
Q
1- LTM is coded ____________.
2- When we want to recall a memory what needs to happen
A
- semantically
- info has to travel back to our STM through retrieval
8
Q
name one strength of the MSM model
A
- research support showing STM and LTM are qualitatively different; eg, the way they info is coded is different
9
Q
State a limitation of the MSM
A
- MSM states STM is a unitary store
- Shallice and Warrington found Kf’s STM for digits was very poor when read out loud to him, memory was much better when he read the digits himself
10
Q
Give an additional limitation
A
- Craik and Watkins, maintenance rehearsal is not the only type of rehearsal, there is also elaborative rehearsal
