MSM

• glasner and cunitz- primacy recency effect, asked pps to free recall word lists and it was found recall was much stronger for words at the start and at the end of the list. suggesting there are two seperate stores of stm and ltm. with the words first entering LTM and being recalled and the most recent words were being held in the STM and being recalled, the middle words were in the STM but were displaced by later words
• the msm sees memory as a passive store of information, while the working memory model seems more accurate in describing how memory is used as an active processor. psychologists often now refer to working memory over short term memory
