Multi-store Model Flashcards
Who proposed the MSM(Multi store model)
Atkinson and shiffrin
What did Atkinson and shiffren suggest
That memory is made up of 3 components
The 3 components of the MSM
1)Sensory register(SR)
2)SHORT-TERM MEMORY(STM)
3)LONG-TERM MEMORY(LTM)
Atkinson and shiftin say memories are sequentially formed
What does sequentially formed mean?
Memories are formed in a sequence
How are memories passsed along the 3 components?
The memories enter through SR THEN pass through STM THEN TO LTM (IN A LINEAR FASHION)
Capacity of the LTM
Unlimited
Capacity of the STM
7+-2 chunks of info
Coding for LTM
Semantic( by meaning)
Coding of STM
Acoustic(sound)
Duration of stm
18 seconds
Coding for sensory Register(SR)
Sense specific:
Echoic- Acoustic
Iconic- Visual
Capacity of SR
Very large
Duration of SR
Milliseconds
