Multi-store memory model (MSM)

• Divised by Attkinson and Shiffin (1968)
• MSMM is also know as the modal model
• What is the multi-store memory model?

  The multi-store memory model is a theory of memory proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968). It suggests that memory consists of three separate stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
• What are the key features of the multi-store memory model?

  The key features of the multi-store memory model are:

  • Three distinct memory stores: sensory, short-term, and long-term
  • Information flows sequentially from sensory to short-term to long-term memory
  • Each store has different capacities and durations of storage
  • Rehearsal is required to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory
• What is long-term memory?

  Long-term memory (LTM) is the final stage of the multi-store model. LTM can hold an essentially unlimited amount of information for a long period of time, potentially for a lifetime. Information in LTM is stored and retrieved through various processes like encoding, storage, and retrieval.
• What is short-term memory?

  Short-term memory (STM) is the second stage of the multi-store model. STM can hold a limited amount of information for a short period of time, usually around 15-30 seconds. Information in STM can be rehearsed to maintain it or transferred to long-term memory.
• What is sensory memory?

  Sensory memory is the initial, very brief storage of sensory information. It holds information from the senses (sight, sound, touch, etc.) for a fraction of a second before it is either forgotten or transferred to short-term memory.
