Multi Store Model Flashcards
Who created the multi store model?
Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968
What is capacity?
How much information this store can retain
What is duration?
How long this store can retain information for
What is encoding?
The form in which the memory is retained
What does the multi store model suggest?
Our memory is divided into three elements within a system
What are some key assumptions?
- Memory stores are separate and unitary
- Rehearsal is essential
- It is a linear model
What is a strength of the multi store model?
The multi store model is supported by research studies, for example Baddeley fount the encoding for the short term and long term memory
What is a limitation of the multi store model?
It states that STM is unitary but evidence has found that it cannot be true (KF)
What is another limitation of the multi store model?
LTM is not unitary, we have different long term memories
