the multi store model of memory

Question 1

sensory register

Answer 1

where information is held at each senses - eyes ears nose fingers.
capacity is very large. Constantly receiving information, but receives no attention
LARGE CAPACITY

Question 2

atttention

Answer 2

if persons attention is focused on sensory stores then datas transferred to stm, first step in remembering something

Question 3

what’s the 3 sensory store

Answer 3

SENORY MEMORY
STM
Ltm

Question 4

STM

Answer 4

used for immediate tasks, eg directions to friends house.
HAS LIMITED DURATION can disappear quickly if not rehearsed.
Info can also disappear from STM if new information enters STM, this pushes out original STM. CAUSE STM HAS LIMITED CAPACITY

Question 5

maintenance rehearsal

Answer 5

repeating info keeps info in STM but such repetition can create long term memory. ATKINSON AND ATKINSON proposed direct relationship between rehearsal in STM and strength of LTM.

Question 6

long term memory

Answer 6

unlimited in duration and capacity.

Question 7

retrieval

Answer 7

process of getting info from LTM involves infor passing back through STM

Question 8

a03 strength

Answer 8

there’s supporting evidence
brain scans, demonstrated that there’s a dfiiference between STM and LTM. beardsley found that cortex is active during brain scanning.

Question 9

limitation

Answer 9

multi store is too simple
shows that STM is divided into number of capacity and duration
msm is overly simplistic
