multi store model

    Cards (4)

    • what is the multi store model?
      • ATKINSON and SHIFFRIN (1968)
      • saw memory as an information processing system
      • info flows in a fixed sequence from one store to another
    • describe the multi store model
      ATKINSON and SHIFFRIN
      1. INPUT:environmental stimuli
      2. SENORY REGISTER: iconic, echoic and other memory stores. high capacity
      3. ATTENTION
      4. STM: acoustically coded. limited duration and capacity
      5. REHERSAL
      6. LTM: semantically coded. unlimited duration and capacity
      7. RETRIEVAL: to get info back into STM
    • multi store model strengths
      • research support - research shows STM and LTM use different coding and have different capacities
      • COUNTERPOINT: studies don't use everyday materials (constant syllables) so validity is low
    • multi store model limitations
      • model is over simplified as it assumed each store works as an independent unit
      • doesn't explain memory distortion `
