Multi-Store Model

Question 1

capacity of sensory register

Answer 1

Sperling 1960
very large

Question 2

encoding at sensory register

Answer 2

Crowder 1993
through sense

Question 3

MSM: PEEL strengths (3)

Answer 3

P- SUPPORTING RESEARCH
E- murdock
E- primary + recency effect
C- lab- artifical
L- lack eco val, ungen

P- SUPPORTING RESEARCH
E-HM
E- shows 2 mem stores for diff time
C- ungen, unique= lack val
L-improves reliability

P- SUPPORTING RESEARCH
E- clive wearing
E- sep stores with nothing to do with each other
C- unique + lack val
L- improves reliability

Question 4

MSM: weaknesses (3)

Answer 4

P- TOO SIMPLE
E- other research suggest diff types LTM, STM
E- LTM with e,s,p shows more complex
L- oversimplifies behav, lowers val

P- lab
E- murdock
E- low eco val, artificial task
C- high degree control increases val
L- cant gen

P- RESEARCH AGAINST
E- brain scans Tulving
E- brain areas lit up show more complex
L- lacks reliability

Question 5

duration of sensory register

Answer 5

Sperling
less than a second

Question 6

encoding STM

Answer 6

Conrad 1964
acoustic

Question 7

capacity STM

Answer 7

Miller 1956
7 +/- 2

Question 8

duration STM

Answer 8

Peterson and Peterson
fades unless rehearsed

Question 9

Answer 9

Baddley
semantic

Question 10

Answer 10

Soloman
unlimited

Question 11
