The Multi Store Model^

Question 1

The Multi Store Model

Answer 1

envi stimuli
sensory memory
- attention
STM
- maintance rehearsal (to LTM)
- retrieval (to STM)
LTM

Question 2

Atkinson & Shiffrin

Answer 2

3 memory stores linked by attention and rehearsal
helps transfer info from stores
- passive process

Question 3

STM

Answer 3

acoustically disimilar
18 to 30 second duration
7 +/- capasity
- limited
- new info replaces the old

Question 4

LTM

Answer 4

unlimited capacity/ duration
Availability VS Accesability
- forgotten info
- can’t access due to defence mechanism = it was never there

Question 5

Sensory Register

Answer 5

info from sences
visual info = iconic memory
acoustic = echoic memory
coding - envi stimuli
large capasity
1/2 sec duration
- if they don’t pay attention then info won’t move stores

Question 6

More than 1 STM Store

Answer 6

there is evidenceShalice & Warrington- KP with amnesia,
: bad memory when digits read outloud
: good when he reads it
another store for non verbal sounds
MSM wrong to claim there is only 1 store for different types of info

Question 7

VS More than 1 STM Store

Answer 7

consept to MSM is not valid
- artificial tests
Peterson & Peterson
- artificial memory task of nonsence triagrams with counting
not reflect type of memory from everyday life
lack of validity in MSM of legitimacy
- more tests needed that reflect daily life

Question 8

Elaborative Rehearsal

Answer 8

rehearsal not needed to move info from STM to LTM
- contradict what MSM state
Craik & Watkins
- type of rehearsal more important then how many times its rehearsed
Elaborative Rehearsal
- make links between LTM and STM to move the info

Question 9

Bygone Model

Answer 9

MSM created by Shiffrin & Atkinson
Research said model not true
- types of LTM
Shows STM and LTM as a more active process too
MSM should included different memory store or subsections for STM and LTM
