MSM

• What case studies support the MSM?

  H.M. and Clive Wearing
• Why were H.M. and Clive Wearing unable to create new memories?

  Due to brain damage of their hippocampus
• What is the duration of information retained in STM according to the study?

  Around 20 seconds
• What does the Primary and Recency effect demonstrate?

  Distinction between LTM and STM
• Who conducted the study on the Primary and Recency effect?

  Glanzer and Cunitz
• What happens to information received last according to the Primary and Recency effect?

  It remains active in the STM
• What does K.F.'s case suggest about the MSM?

  It is too simplistic
• What type of information could K.F. encode into his LTM?

  Visual information
• What is the significance of the Working Memory Model (WMM) in relation to the MSM?

  It replaces the STM with a more complex structure
• How does the WMM differ from the MSM?

  It splits working memory into acoustic and visual systems
• What has the WMM been supported by?

  Evidence of the structure of the brain
• Why is the MSM considered less reliable?

  It lacks ecological validity from lab experiments
• How can the MSM be applied to people with dementia?

  Labeling or color coding items
• What is the conclusion about the MSM in relation to the WMM?

  The MSM is simplistic compared to the WMM
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Multi-Store Model (MSM) of memory?

  Strengths:

  • Supported by case studies (H.M., Clive Wearing)
  • Distinction between STM and LTM

  
  

  Weaknesses:

  • Too simplistic
  • Lacks ecological validity
  • Doesn't account for different types of memory encoding
• What are the key components of the Working Memory Model (WMM)?

  • Replaces STM with working memory
  • Divided into acoustic and visual systems
  • Central executive retrieves information from LTM
