the multi store model of memory

    Cards (21)

    • What does the multi-store model of memory (MSM) explain?
      How information is processed and stored in memory
    • Who developed the multi-store model of memory?
      Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin
    • In what year was the MSM developed?
      1968
    • How many stores of memory does the MSM propose?
      Three stores of memory
    • What are the three stores of memory in the MSM?
      Sensory memory, STM, and LTM
    • What is sensory memory?
      A very brief store holding information for seconds
    • What are the two types of sensory memory?
      Iconic memory and echoic memory
    • How long does short-term memory (STM) hold information?
      About 18 seconds
    • What is the limited capacity of STM?
      About 7 items
    • What is long-term memory (LTM)?
      A potentially permanent store for vast information
    • How is information processed in the MSM?
      From sensory memory to STM, then LTM
    • What happens if attention is paid to information in sensory memory?
      It is transferred to short-term memory
    • What is maintenance rehearsal?
      Repeating information to keep it in STM
    • What occurs if information is rehearsed long enough?
      It is transferred to long-term memory
    • What is a strength of the MSM?
      It has generated extensive research into memory
    • What is a weakness of the MSM?
      It is too simplistic and lacks detail
    • What did Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) find about word recall?
      Participants remembered words at the beginning and end
    • What is the serial position effect?
      Better recall of first and last items
    • Who developed the working memory model?
      Baddeley and Hitch
    • How does the MSM influence our understanding of memory?
      It shapes foundational concepts in memory research
    • Why is the MSM considered a simplified model?
      It does not explain all memory processes
