Discuss the multi store memory model

    Cards (14)

    • what is the sensory register
      the memory store for each of our senses.
      there is echoic and iconic.
      • iconic is for visual
      • echoic is for sound.
    • what is the duration of sensory register
      250ms
    • what is the capacity of sensory register
      Unlimited
    • how is STM coded
      acoustically
    • what is STM duration
      18 - 30 seconds
    • what is STM capacity
      7+/-2 items
    • How to transfer info from STM to LTM
      maintenance rehearsal - when we repeat material ourselves over and over again.
      we can keep this in our STM if we rehearse it, but if we rehearse it for long enough it then goes into the LTM
    • How do we code LTM
      semantically (meaning)
    • what is the capacity of LTM
      unlimited
    • according to the MSM how do we recall information from our LTM to STM
      through retrieval
    • Research support Baddeley Mix up words
      • STM - mix up acoustically similar words
      • LTM - mix up semantically similar words
      shows that LTM and STM are different stores and encoded differently. this supports the model as it gives it validity
    • artificial task

      • on a lot of the studies that research into memory
      • they used artificial tasks. for example P+P trigrams.
      • giving this low ecological validity
    • How do we code SR
      modality specific
    • How do we code STM
      Acoustically
