multi-store model Flashcards
1
Q
what does the multistore model consist of?
A
sensory register
stm
ltm
2
Q
what is sensory memory and how does this information go to the STM?
A
information from senses
direct attention to it
3
Q
how does information transfer into the LTM?
A
maintenance rehearsal - repeating it
4
Q
encoding?
A
the way info is changed to be stored in the memory
5
Q
three types of encoding?
A
visual
acoustic (sound)
semantic (meaning)
6
Q
capacity?
A
how much information can be stored
7
Q
duration?
A
refers to how long the information can be available for
8
Q
strength of MSM?
A
good understanding of the process of STM. It can also be used to help researchers improve on the model
9
Q
criticism?
A
too simple. The working memory model showed that the STM is more than a single unitary store
