Multi-Store Memory Model

Question 1

Couplet One: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 1

AO1: STM duration of 0-18 secs
DM: This means that…
AO3: Peterson & Perterson (1959) (trigram + distraction task + recall trigram)
= 80% recall after 3 secs & 10% recall after 18 secs
EDM: Therefore…

Question 2

Couplet Two: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 2

AO1: STM capacity (7+/-2)
DM: This leads to…
AO3: Miller (1956)
= magic number, chunking
EDM: Therefore…

Question 3

Couplet Three: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 3

AO1: STM encoding acoustic
DM: This means that…
AO3: Baddeley (1966 a) acoustically similar or dissimilar
= acoustically similar was better recalled
EDM: Therefore…

Question 4

Couplet Four: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 4

AO1: LTM duration unlimited
DM: This means that…
AO3: Bahrick (1975) memory test of names & faces from high school yearbook (400 pps 17-74yo)
= 90% accurate within 15yrs, 70-80% accurate 48 yrs after leaving
EDM: Therefore…

Question 5

Couplet Five: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 5

AO1: LTM capacity unlimited
DM: This is supported by…
AO3: Brady (2008) 2800 objects over 5.5 hrs & asked to identify which object of pair they have seen
== Original + v. diff. = 92%, original + sim. = 88%
EDM: Therefore…

Question 6

Couplet Six: AO1, DM, AO3, EDM

Answer 6

AO1: LTM encoding semantic
DM: This means that…
AO3: Baddeley (1966 b) semantically similar vs semantically dissimilar
= Semantically similar better recalled lt
EDM: Therefore…

Question 7

CONCLUSION (3)

Answer 7

• Credibility = research
• Objections = Shallice & Warrington (1970) LTM worked, STM didn’t
• Differences = Baddeley & Hitch (1974) compared
