Multi-store model

Question 1

How are multi-store models of memory also known?

Answer 1

Short term memory stores

Question 2

Who are the most important names in multi-store models of memory?

Answer 2

Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)

Question 3

What does storage in long term memory depend on?

Answer 3

Rehearsal

Question 4

What are the three types of memory store?

Answer 4

Sensory, short term and long-term

Question 5

What kind of capacity does long term memory have?

Answer 5

Unlimited capacity

Question 6

How did Miller (1956) define the capacity of STM?

Answer 6

Digit-span recall has a limit of 7 +/- 2

Question 7

What are chunks?

Answer 7

Stored units of smaller pieces of information.

Question 8

What did Simon (1974) conclude about chunks?

Answer 8

Span recall in chunks was less with larger chunks

Question 9

What kind of store did Sperling (1960) research?

Answer 9

Sensory: visual

Question 10

What were the conclusions of Sperling’s research?

Answer 10

Information in iconic memory decays within 0.5 secs

Question 11

Why is the STMS model considered to be oversimplified?(Eynsenck & Keane, 2010)

Answer 11

There is the assumption that each store operates independently.

Question 12

What assumptions are made about STM and LTM? (Eynsenck & Keane, 2010)

Answer 12

STM is a gateway to LTM via rehearsal

Question 13

What assumption does evidence for implicit learning deny?(Eynsenck & Keane, 2010)

Answer 13

Only consciously processed information is available to rehearse
