models of Memory

• There are two models off memory:

  1. Multi-store model of memory
  2. Working memory model
• Multi-store model of memory - has three components and shows how memory is obtained and moves through your short term memory into your long term memory
• multi-store model of memory: it is made up of - sensory register (information from the senses), short term memory, long term memory
• Multi-store memory model

  A) information from senses

  B) lost

  C) attention

  D) rehearsal

  E) forgetting

  F) forgetting

  G) transfer

  H) retrieval

• who invented the MSM?

  Atkinson and shiffon (1968)
• Working memory model - a representation of short term memory that is a dynamic process of different types of information
• working memory model is made up of: central executive

  phonological loop - articulatory control system and phonological loop

  visuospatial sketchpad - inner scribe and visual cache,

  Episodic buffer
• WMM: central executive - controls attention and directs information to the two slave systems. Has limited capacity
• WMM: phonological loop - processes information in terms of sounds. Includes both written and spoken materials
• WMM: Articulatory control system - allows for sub vocal repetition of items in the phonological store
• WMM: phonological store - stores acoustic items (speech based sounds) short period of time
• WMM: Visuo-spatial sketchpad - processes visual and spatial information
• WMM: inner scribe - deals with the spatial relationship between objects
• WMM: visual cache - stores visual information
• WMM: episodic buffer - this component binds and integrates information from all the other components and sends information to the long term memory
