Multi-store model: AO3

Cards (4)

  • Strength: Research support
    What? Support showing STM and LTM are different
    Who? Baddeley - mix up similar sounding words w/ STM & mix up similar meaning words w/ LTM (Other support: Jacobs, Miller, Petersons, Bahrick)
    Why? Shows STM and LTM are separate
  • Counterpoint: Research support
    What? Studies use meaningless items
    Who? Jacobs (Digits & letters), Petersons (Consonant syllables)
    Why? May be invalid model
  • Limitation: More than one STM store
    What? Evidence of more than one STM store
    Who? Shallice and Warrington - KF (Amnesia patient) - showed there could be a short-term store for non-verbal sounds
    Why? MSM wrong in claiming there's just one STM store
  • Limitation: Elaborative rehearsal
    What? Prolonged rehearsal not needed for transfer to LTM
    Who? Craik and Watkins - Type of rehearsal more important than amount; elaborative rehearsal
    Why? Doesn't fully explain how long-term storage is achieved
