2.4.2 Atkinson and Shiffrin’s Multi-store Model

• The Multi-store Model of Memory suggests that memory consists of three separate stores
• Information enters the Multi-store Model through the Sensory Memory
• Long-Term Memory has a duration of lifetime
• Long-Term Memory has a limited capacity

  False
• Rehearsal is a key process for maintaining information in STM
• Arrange the flow of information through the Multi-store Model

  1️⃣ Sensory Memory

  2️⃣ Short-Term Memory (STM)

  3️⃣ Long-Term Memory (LTM)
• Sensory Memory retains information for 15-30 seconds

  False
• Short-Term Memory encodes information acoustically
• Each store in the Multi-store Model has the same duration and capacity

  False
• Match the memory store with its key characteristics:

  Sensory Memory ↔️ Brief duration, large capacity

  Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ Limited capacity, acoustic encoding

  Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Unlimited capacity, semantic encoding
• Sensory Memory retains information for approximately 0.25 seconds
• Short-Term Memory uses semantic encoding

  False
• Long-Term Memory encodes information semantically
• Sensory Memory encodes information iconically, echoically, or haptically
• Short-Term Memory holds $7 ± 2$ chunks of informationchunks
• Attention is a key process for moving information from Sensory Memory to STM
• Rehearsal is essential for maintaining information in STM
• Each store in the Multi-store Model uses the same encoding method

  False
• The Multi-store Model proposes three distinct stores
• Arrange the stores in the Multi-store Model based on their encoding method, starting with sensory encoding

  1️⃣ Sensory Memory (Sensory encoding)

  2️⃣ Short-Term Memory (Acoustic encoding)

  3️⃣ Long-Term Memory (Semantic encoding)
• What are the three main stores proposed by the Multi-store Model of Memory?

  Sensory, STM, LTM
• Match the memory store with its duration:

  Sensory Memory ↔️ $0.25 - 0.5$ seconds

  Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ $15 - 30$ seconds

  Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Lifetime
• Sensory Memory has a duration of $0.25 - 0.5$ seconds.
• What are the three types of encoding in Sensory Memory?

  Iconic, echoic, haptic
• Short-Term Memory (STM) encodes information acoustically.
• STM has a capacity of $7 ± 2$ chunks.
• What is the encoding method in Long-Term Memory (LTM)?

  Semantic
• Match the memory store with its capacity:

  Sensory Memory ↔️ Very Large

  Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ $7 ± 2$ chunks

  Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Unlimited
• Arrange the key processes of each memory store in the order they occur:

  1️⃣ Attention in Sensory Memory

  2️⃣ Rehearsal in STM

  3️⃣ Encoding in LTM

  4️⃣ Retrieval from LTM
• What is the key process in Sensory Memory that allows information to move to STM?

  Attention
• Prolonged rehearsal in STM aids encoding into LTM.
• Attention is the control process that transfers sensory input to STM.
• What are the three separate stores suggested by the Multi-store Model of Memory?

  Sensory, STM, LTM
• Match the memory store with its key process:

  Sensory Memory ↔️ Attention

  Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ Rehearsal

  Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Encoding & Retrieval
• How do the three main stores differ in the Multi-store Model of Memory?

  Duration, capacity, storage
• Sensory Memory uses sensory information for storage.
• What is the storage method in Sensory Memory?

  Iconic, echoic, haptic
• What are the three main stores in the Multi-store Model of Memory?

  Sensory Memory, STM, LTM
• The Multi-store Model of Memory proposes three main stores: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory (STM), and Long-Term Memory (LTM)
• What is the duration of information in Sensory Memory?

  $0.25 - 0.5$ seconds
