strengths

• Baddeley

  word lists: recall immediately = hard to remember if acoustically similar / recall after 20 mins = hard to remember if semantically similar

  • ltm/stm encoded seperately
• Cunitz

  easier to recall words at the start of the list (primary) as transferred into ltm by rehearsal + easier to recall words at the end of the list (recency) as stays in stm for recall

  • Importance of rehearsal + ltm/stm being seperate
• Neurobiological evidence:

  Beardsley

  Conducted fMRI and found prefrontal cortex to be active during stm tasks

  Squire

  Conducted PET scan and found hippocampus to be active during ltm tasks

  • ltm/stm separate
