Multi-store model Flashcards
What is the first store in MSM?
Sensory memory
What is the duration of Sensory Memory?
Less then 2 seconds
How does Sensory memory encode?
Using all the senses
How does information move from sensory memory to short term memory?
Attention
How does short term memory encode?
Acoustically (it stores words by how they sound)
What is the duration of Short term memory?
about 30s without rehearsal
What is the capacity of Short term memory?
between 5-9 items
What keeps information moving around STM without passing it to LTM?
Maintenance rehearsal
How does STM pass information to LTM?
Elaborative rehearsal
What is the duration of long term memory?
Unlimited
What is the capacity of long term memory?
Unlimited
What is the encoding of LTM?
Semantically (based on meaning)
What is it called when information moves from LTM to STM?
Retrieval
How does Baddeley support this model?
He showed that STM encodes acoustically and LTM encodes semantically (using similar and disimilar words)
How does Petersona and Peterson support this model?
They showed the duration of STM was less than 30s without rehearsal using the trigram recall task
