Counterpoint of research support

• P- despite such apparent support, in everyday life we form memories related to all sorts of useful things- people’s faces, their names, facts, places etc.
• E- but many of the studies that support the MSM used none of these materials. instead they used letters and numbers and sometimes words
• E- they even used what are known as consonant syllables that have no meaning
• This means that the MSM may not be a valid model of how memory works in everyday lives where We have to remember much more meaningful information
