Research support

• P- one strength of the MSM is support from studies showing that STM and LTM Are different
• E- for example, Alan Baddeley (1966) found that we tend to mix up words that sound similar when we are using our STMs but we mix up words that have similar meanings when using our LTMs
• further support come from studies of capacity and duration
• L- these studies clearly show that STM and LTM are separate and independant memory stores, as claimed by MSM
