WMM vs MSM Flashcards
1
Q
The WMM suggests that STM has a limited capacity
A
SIMILARLY so does the MSM
2
Q
MSM shows how info is processed from sensory memory to the LTM
A
ON THE OTHER HAND the WMM focuses mainly on the STM
3
Q
The MSM suggests that STM is unitary
A
HOWEVER the WMM suggests that it consists of more than one store
4
Q
The WMM suggests that rehearsal is important to process information
A
Similarly the MSM also emphasises rehearsals as a maintenance to increase capacity of STM
5
Q
MSM suggests that STM is a simple storage buffer
A
IN CONTRAST WMM is more complex in that it suggests STM consists of a storage component as well as attention
6
Q
MSM suggests elaborative maintenance helps memories enter LTM
A
SIMILARLY WMM suggests the episodic buffer creates a link between STM and LTM
