Multi Store Model For Memort

Question 1

Who developed the msm

Answer 1

Atkinson and shiffrin

Question 2

Describe the msm

Answer 2

👀👂—> sensory —> stm —-> ltm
I Register I
Attention <—
Rehearsal

Question 3

What is a sensory register

Answer 3

Has 5 triggers (one for each sense)
Picks up on stimuli

Question 4

What is the memory for sound and sight

Answer 4

Echoic and iconic

Question 5

What is the duration and capacity of the sensory register

Answer 5

Brief
High capacity but information only passes further if we pay attention to it

Question 6

What does rehearsal do for duration

Answer 6

Increases as turns it from being a stm to a ltm

Question 7

How do we remeber ltm

Answer 7

Ltm is retrieved and brought back to the stm

Question 8

Describe the HM case study

Answer 8

Brain surgery to relive epilepsy accidentally removes both sides of hippocampus (needed for memory)
Couldn’t for ltm but performed well in stm
Provides evidence for different memory stores

Question 9

What is a strength of the msm

Answer 9

Supporting research by baddley
- when using stm we mix up similar sounding words and when using ltm we mix up similar meaning words
Suggests different stores

Question 10

What are the 2 limitations of the msm

Answer 10

Evidence of more than one stm store
- case study of KF had amnesia and couldn’t recall digits when read to him but could if he read them himself

Prolonged rehearsal is not needed to transfer stm to ltm. Instead it is measured by amount and we link it to pre existing knowledge
