STRENGTHS

• WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS OF THE MSM?

  • research support
• WHAT RESEARCH SUPPORT DOES THE MSM HAVE?

  • Baddeley's coding study
  • Milner's HM study
• WHAT HAPPENED IN BADDELEY'S CODING STUDY?

  • acoustically similar words mixed up in the STM
  • semantically similar words mixed up in the LTM
• WHAT DOES BADDELEY'S STUDY PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR?

  STM and LTM are separate stores
• WHAT IS THE COUNTERARGUMENT FOR BADDELEY'S CODING STUDY?

  most supporting studies use trigrams/ numbers/ digits which are not valid in everyday life
• WHAT HAPPENED TO HM'S MEMORY?

  • had hippocampi removed
  • LTM damaged
  • STM undamaged
• WHAT TYPE OF MEMORY WAS DAMAGED IN HM'S CASE?

  LTM
• WHAT TYPE OF MEMORY WAS UNDAMAGED IN HM'S CASE?

  STM
• WHO STUDIED HM?

  Milner
• WHAT DID COULD HM DO AND NOT DO?

  • could not remember what he had for breakfast
  • could remember number after rehearsal
• WHAT DID MILNER'S HM STUDY PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR?

  STM and LTM are separate stores
• COUNTERARGUMENT OF MSM FROM MILNER'S STUDY OF HM?

  MSM too simplistic
• HOW DID MILNER PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE MSM WAS TOO SIMPLISTIC?

  HM improved at a tracing task (different types of LTM)
