• Who proposed the multi-store model of memory?

  Atkinson and Shiffrin
• How many stores is the multi-store model made up of?

  Three
• What are the three stores of the multi-store model of memory?

  Sensory register, short term memory, long term memory
• How are the three stores to the multi-store model linked?

  By processing
• Where do stimuli from the environment pass into?

  The sensory register
• Coding in each sensory store is modality-specific
• What does the sensory register comprise of?

  Several registers
• Iconic store: Vision
• Echoic store: Hearing
• What is the duration of the sensory register?

  0.5 seconds
• What is the capacity of the sensory register?

  Very High
• How does information pass further into the memory system from the sensory register?

  Attention
• How is information coded in the short term memory?

  Acoustically
• What is the duration in the short term memory?

  18-30 seconds
• What is the capacity of the short term memory?

  7 +/- 2
• What is maintenance rehearsal?

  When we repeat material to ourselves over and over
• How do we keep information in our short term memory?

  Rehearsal
• What happens if we rehearse information in the short term memory long enough?

  It passes into long term memory
• What is the duration of long term memory?

  Lifetime
• What is the capacity of long term memory?

  Unlimited
• How is information coded in the long term memory?

  Semantically
• How do we recall information from the long term memory back into the short term memory?

  Retrieval
• Which case study is used to support the multi-store model of memory?

  HM
• What part of HM's memory was worst affected?

  Long-term memory
