Multi Store Model AO1 Flashcards
1
Q
What is the multi-memory store model?
A
a model that was created to visually represent how memory is processed
2
Q
Who made the multi store model?
A
Atkinson and Shiffrin
3
Q
What components make up the MSM model?
in order
A
- environmental stimuli
- sensory memory
- STM
- LTM
4
Q
How does memory move from Sensory to Short Term Memory?
A
by paying attention
5
Q
how does memory move from STM to LTM
A
elaborative rehearsal
6
Q
how does memory stay in STM?
A
maintenance rehearsal
7
Q
Describe the sensory memory.
A
- environmental stimuli moves in when picked up be ears and eyes
- memory stays there for <.5 seconds
- has a high capacity
8
Q
Describe the STM.
A
- duration is 18-30 seconds
- capacity is 7+/-2
9
Q
Describe the LTM.
A
- duration and capacity is unlimited
- can be accessed through retrieval
10
Q
What are the types of rehearsal?
A
- elaborative
- maintenance
11
Q
What is elaborative rehearsal?
A
- the process of transfering STM store to LTM store
- done via deep learning
- an example is revison for exams moving the information from STM to LTM
12
Q
What is maintenance rehearsal?
A
- the process of retaining information in STM
- can’t be retrieved as it’s not in LTM
- an example is keeping a postcode in STM long enough to put it into a sat nav but not remembering it later on
13
Q
What are the sub-divisions of sensory memory?
A
- echoic
- iconic
14
Q
what happens if maintenance rehearsal doesn’t occur?
A
you forget
