Multi Store Model of Memory

Question 1

Answer 1

Question 2

Answer 2

Question 3

MSM Limitation: Underplays the…. (5)

• ____________ suggest the MSM __________________________
• This assertion is ______________
• He found participants _________________
• When _____________ that used ___________________
• Rather than ________________

Answer 3

• Craik and Lockhart suggest the MSM underplays the role of elaborative rehersal in creating LTMs
• This assertion is supported by Tulving
• He found participants remembered more words
• When asked a question that used elaborative processing/rehersal
• Rather than using shallow processing

Question 4

MSM Limitation: Not all LTM… (4)

• MSM suggests ______________________
• However, ____________, e.g. ________________
• Are unlikely to be _______________ as they are ___________
• The later ____ acknowledges the __________________
• While this __________________ for _______
• Such ______________ (________) would not have been possible without _______________________

Answer 4

• MSM suggests all LTM is encoded semantically
• However, procedural memories, e.g. how to ride a bike
• Are unlikely to be coded semantically as they are a motor skill
• The later WMM acknowledges the differences in types of LTM
• While this ostensibally is a weakness for the model…
• Such further developments (e.g. WMM) would not have been possible without the first early, simplistic, easy to understand model being developed

Question 5

Answer 5

Question 6

Multi-Store Model (4)

Answer 6

• An explaination of memory
• Developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin
• Based on 3 seperate memory stores (SR, STM, LTM)
• And how information is transferred between them

Question 7

MSM Case Study Evidence (5)

• A ___________ suffered ____________
• From an _____________ in which his _____________________
• His _______________ but his ______________________
• ______ (____) found the ___________ when _________
• Provides evidence for _________________________
• As HM could _________________ from his _______________

Answer 7

• A Man named HM suffered brain damage
• From an epilepsy operation in which his hippocampus was removed
• His STM remained functional but his LTM stopped working altogether
• Squire at al (1992) found the hippocampus was active when LTM is engaged
• Provides evidence for the MSMs notion of seperate stores
• As HM could no longer retrieve info from his LTM to his STM

Question 8

Answer 8

Question 9

Sensory Register Capacity (5)

Answer 9

• Grid of 20 letters flashed onto a screen
• For a 20th of a second
• Participants needed to recall a random row of letters
• Recall was strong
• Suggesting SR has a large capacity
• As
