Atkinson-Shiffren Multi-store Model of Learning (5A) Flashcards
Memory is the process of…
encoding, storing and retrieving information that has been previously encountered.
What is the Atkinson-Shiffren Model?
A multi-store model of learning that outlines the three seperate stores of memory.
What are the three stores of memory in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
Sensory memory
Short term memory
Long term memory
What is the sensory memory store in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
A store of memory where raw information detected by the senses is very briefly stored.
What is the capacity for sensory memory in Atkinson-Shiffren model?
unlimited
What is the time limit for sensory memory in Atkinson-Shiffren model?
0.2 to 4 seconds
What is echoic memory?
How long is it stored for?
Atkinson-Shiffren model
An auditory type of memory in the sensory memory which is stored there for 3 to 4 seconds.
What is iconic memory?
How long is it stored for?
Atkinson-Shiffren model
Visual sensory memory which is stored there for 0.2 to 0.4 seconds.
What is short term memory?
Atkinson-Shiffren model
A store of memory that temporarily stores a limited amount of information that is being consciously attended to.
What is the capacity for short term memory?
Atkinson-Shiffren model
7 ± 2 or 5-9
What is the time limit for short term memory in Atkinson-Shiffren model?
12 to 30 seconds
What is attention in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
It is the stage between sensory memory and short term memory.
What is rehearsal in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
A controlled process which involves consciously repeating or manipulating information in short term memory.
What is encoding in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
The process of converting information into a usable form which can be manipulated and stored in the brain. It is from short term memory to long term memory.
What is long term memory in the Atkinson-Shiffren model?
A store of memory in which a potentially unlimited amount of information is stored for a relatively permanent amount of time.
