Structures

Question 1

MSMM

Answer 1

General - clear structure
3 stores
E.g. Clive wearing
However simplistic

Sensory register
STM
LTM
E.g. Primacy recency

LTM processes
Retrieval and encoding
E.g. Henry molaison

Conc - clear structure -> led to many testable hypothesis

Question 2

WMM

Answer 2

General (builds on STM from MSMM)
Identifies three separate components
E.g. Williams syndrome

Central executive 
Phonological loop
Visuo spatial sketchpad 
Hard to test
E.g. Illustrative example
Low validity 

In 2000 episodic buffer
Due to criticism
E.g. Illustrative example about sentence sequences
Therefore, now more complete

Question 3

Tulving LTM

Answer 3

General, e.g. MSMM
Two separate stores
E.g. Ostergaard
However Clive wearing
Third store not originally identified 

Semantic memory in detail
Episodic memory in detail
Difficult to isolate
E.g. Holiday example
Interrelationship, hard to isolate episodic

Question 4

Reconstructive memory

Answer 4

General - passive record not an active process of storing and reconstructing information (name them)
E.g. Eye witness testimony
However, lacks testability

Schemes - perception/stereotypes
E.g. Allport and Postman

Effort after meaning more detail
E.g. War of the Ghosts
Supports Bartletts idea
