Q

Retrieval in the sensory memory (MSM)

A

Scanning

17
Q

Retrieval in the short term memory (MSM)

A

Rapid sequential scan of info

18
Q

Retrieval in the long term memory (MSM)

A

Largely semantic search

19
Q

Strengths of the Multi-Store Memory Model

A

Miller - he found that the STM could hold 5-9 items (Miller Magic Number 7) supports MSM

Blakemore - Clive Wearing had memory impairment. STM was intact but LTM was not. Supports that they are different sections

20
Q

Weaknesses of the Multi-Store Memory Model

A

Case of KC - After a motorcycle accident that caused memory loss, he could recall facts but not personal events. Suggests that the LTM has at least 2 stores

Case of KF - After a motorcycle accident KF had impaired STM for verbal info but the memory for visual info was unaffected. Suggests separate STM stores
