the multistore model

• sensory memory is a temopory memory buffer that holds information from our 5 senses
• sensory memory on last for 0.5 to two seconds and has a large capacity it encodes information depedning on the senses involved
• short term memory is the capacity for holding a small amount of infoormation
• stm holds info for 0 -30 seconds can hold 7 items plus or minus 2 and encodes information through sound
• long term memory is where informative information is held
• it has unlimited duration, unlimited capacity and encodes information semantically
• the glanzer anad cuntiz serial psotion effect is a strengh of the mm
• this is because the primary effect is shown as words from the beiggning of the list are more likely to be recalled as a result of the primary effect and how the words are rehearsed and transferred into the ltm
• the recency affect is also another strength as word at the end of the list are more likely to be recalled as they are held in the stm
• delayed recall is also shown as the rency affect disappears becasue informtaion form the stm is decayed but the primary affect remains the same
• patients with amnesia aslso stregnehn the atkison and shifrin model as their hippocampus is removed to cure epilepsy they couldnt reemember events and they had a normally funtioning stm but couldnt make any new memories
