Multi Store Model

• What is the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  A theoretical model of memory
• Who introduced the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  Atkinson and Shiffrin
• In what year was the Multi-Store Model of Memory introduced?

  1968
• What analogy does the Multi-Store Model of Memory use?

  A computer analogy
• What are the three main concepts of the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  Encoding, storage, and retrieval
• What is maintenance rehearsal in the context of memory?

  A method to keep information in STM
• What is elaborative rehearsal?

  A technique to enhance LTM retention
• What is the role of attention in the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  It helps to focus on relevant stimuli
• What does the sensory register do?

  It temporarily holds sensory information
• What is a criticism of the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  It is oversimplistic
• What did Logie (1999) suggest about STM and LTM?

  STM relies on LTM
• What research supports the idea of separate STM and LTM stores?

  Miller and Bahrick's experiments
• Why are Miller and Bahrick's experiments considered reliable?

  They were conducted in a lab setting
• What happened to Patient HM?

  His hippocampus was removed
• What could Patient HM still do after his surgery?

  Retrieve memories from before the surgery
• How does Patient HM's case support the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  He couldn't transfer STM to LTM
• What are the key components of the Multi-Store Model of Memory?

  • Sensory Register
