Q

What are the 4 AO3 points of the MSM?

A

1) Case study support
2) MSM = too simple
3) Experimental support
4) LTM requires more than maintenance rehearsal

Q

What condition did HM have?

A

Severe epilepsy

17
Q

What medical procedure did HM undergo?

A

Surgical removal of both hippocampi

18
Q

What happened to HM’s personality and intellect?

A

They remained intact

19
Q

What happened to HM’s LTM?

A

He was unable to form new LTMs

20
Q

What was HM able to remember?

A

LTMs formed before his surgery

21
Q

How does HM support the MSM?

A

Suggests that there are separate store for short term and long term memory - supports the unitary concept of the MSM

22
Q

Why is the MSM too simple?

A

The concept of there only being one LTM has been disproved

23
Q

What are the 3 types of LTM?

A

Episodic, semantic and procedural

24
Q

Which brain region is episodic LTM associated with?

A

Hippocampus

25
Q

Which brain region is semantic LTM associated with?

A

Temporal lobe

26
Q

Which brain region is procedural LTM associated with?

A

Cerebellum

27
Q

Why has the concept of maintenance rehearsal been criticised?

A

As it can explain why we remember semantic memories, but cannot explain why we remember episodic memories

28
Q

What tasks can’t the MSM explain?

A

Dual task performance

29
Q

How do controlled lab studies support the MSM?

A

Studies on the capacity, duration and coding of the LTM and STM support that they are separate stores

30
Q

How has brain scanning found support for the MSM?

A

Provided evidence for separate LTM and STM

31
Q

Which brain region is active during STM but not LTM?

A

Prefrontal cortex

32
Q

Which brain region is active during LTM but not STM?

A

Hippocampus

33
Q

Why have some researchers argued that it’s difficult to separate STM from LTM?

A

The MSM says that STM always comes before LTM, however other research has suggested that the STM is just a small part of the LTM

34
Q

What have Craik and Lockhart suggested about maintenance rehearsal?

A

That enduring memories are created due to the processing you do, not the maintenance rehearsal

35
Q

What happens to information that is deeply processed?

A

It is more memorable

36
Q

What happens to information that is not deeply processed?

A

It is less memorable

37
Q

In the study that supports the role of processing, what were participants given?

A

A list of nouns

38
Q

In the study that supports the role of processing, what were the participants asked?

A

Whether the word was in capital letters (shallow processing) or whether it would fit in a sentence (deep processing)

39
Q

In the study that supports the role of processing, what was found?

A

That participants remembered more of the words from the deep processing task than the shallow processing task
