multi-store model

Question 1

what did atkinson and shifrin argue

Answer 1

that memory is a cause of encoding storage retrevial

Question 2

what are the stores of the msmm

Answer 2

sensory mem
short term mem
long term mem

Question 3

what is the capacity of sm

Answer 3

large capacity

Question 4

what is duration of sm

Answer 4

1/2 second

Question 5

what is the mode of storage in the sm

Answer 5

any modality

Question 6

how do you forgett in the sm

Answer 6

decay

Question 7

what is the capacity of stm

Answer 7

seven items +/- 2

Question 8

what is the duration of stm

Answer 8

18-30 sec

Question 9

what is the mode of storage for stm

Answer 9

acoustically

Question 10

how do you forgett in the stm

Answer 10

decay or displacment

Question 11

what is the capacity of ltm

Answer 11

unlimited

Question 12

what is the duration of ltm

Answer 12

unlimited

Question 13

what is the mode of storage for ltm

Answer 13

semantically

Question 14

how do you forgett in the ltm

Answer 14

due to retrevial failure

Question 15

what is a strength of this theory of memory

Answer 15

case srudy from hm

Question 16

how can hm support msmm

Answer 16

hm underwent a surgery for for epilepsy and as a result could no longer form new memeorys, meaning he had trouble forming ltm and had impared function in his stm. he could rember memorys in his ltm from before 27 but after that only had a sensory memory
t/f this increases the validity of the msmm as it shows hoe memory has seperate stores

Question 17

what is a weakness of msmm

Answer 17

reductionist

Question 18

how is it being reductionist a weakness

Answer 18

is too simplistic of an explination for memory as it underplays the interconnections between stores
t/f this theory of memeory is too simplistic thus decreasing its validity

Question 19

what is anouther strength od msmm

Answer 19

supporting evidance from chapman

Question 20

what did chapman find to support msmm

Answer 20

when people are given a task and asked to recall immediately after- show a unique brain wave pattern wich is different from recalling things from ltm
t/f this supports the idea of seperate stores of memory sm and ltm, increasing the validity of the thoery

Question 21

what is anouther weakness

Answer 21

alternate theories

Question 22

why is alternate theories a weakness

Answer 22

their are other theories such as the wmm that explain memory, that are more specific in explaining connection between stores in memory
t/f other explinations decreases the validity of the msmm explination of memory
