• What are the key components of the Multi-Store Model of memory?

  • Sensory Register
  • Short Term Memory
  • Long Term Memory
  • Encoding processes
  • Duration and capacity characteristics
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Multi-Store Model?

  Strengths:

  • Clear structure of memory processes
  • Supported by empirical research

  
  

  Weaknesses:

  • Oversimplifies memory processes
  • Doesn't account for different types of long-term memory
• evaluation 


  strength of clive wearing

  
• evaluation of clive wearing

  strength

  
• the case of kf

  limitation

  
• limitation of the msm

  it only explains one type of rehearsal which is maintenance
• limitation of the msm

  research studies supporting it use artificial materials, therefore lacks external validity
