Multi store model

Question 1

What happens within the study first ?

Answer 1

Information is retrieved by one of the senses

Question 2

What is coding ?

Answer 2

Storage place at your eyes, fingertips or nose, memories are coded are in a form appropriate to the sense, which tends to be acoustic

Question 3

if you pay attention to what you have just learnt your information will go to your long term memory

Question 4

What is duration times?

Answer 4

Less than 30 secs unless rehearsed

Question 5

What is duration times?

Answer 5

Less than 30 secs unless rehearsed

Question 6

In long term memory the coding is semantic not acoustic

Question 7

In long term memory the coding is semantic not acoustic

Question 8

Strength there is evidence for the different stores, Major strength is that the model is supported by the study that show Short term memory and Long term memory are different, Baddeley found that we mix up words that sound similar when using Short term memory, But we mix up words with similar meaning in Long term memory. This shows that coding in Short term memory is acoustic and in long term memory is semasntic

Question 9

Weakness is model is too simple. Multistore suggests that we have a long term memory and a short term memory but however researchers have shown these are separate parts. Short term memory is divided into visual and acoustic and Long term memory is divided into episodic, semantic and procedural, which suggests that memory is more complex than the multi store model
