MSM

Question 1

table - (cod, cap, duration for sensory store, STM, LTM)

Answer 1

Question 2

model - Atkinson +. Shiffrin (1968)

Question 3

sensory store

Answer 3

• limited duration
• large cap
• modality specific - senses code separately

Question 4

STM

Answer 4

• cap - 7+/-2
• duration - 18s
• coding - acoustically

Question 5

LTM

Answer 5

• cap - unlimited
• duration - lifetime
• coding - semantically

Question 6

+ves

Answer 6

• use of evidence to support stores (unitary stores): Miller, Baddeley, Peterson + Peterson, Bahrick et al
• case studies - support the idea of unitary stores: H.M. infection, Clive Wearing infection, K.F. motorbike accident –> all demonstrate STM and LTM are unitary. LTM remained intact, STM exists but cannot move between the two
• serial position effect - we remember the things at the start (LTM) of the list and end (STM)

Question 7

-ves

Answer 7

• evaluation of research: artificial tasks (trigrams, remembering lists), lacks ecological validity - lab, artificial
• evaluation of case studies: rare cases, was it (memory problems) present before infection anyway, oversimplified STM/LTM
• LTM: issues with capacity - how do we study this, more than one type of LTM - MSM is oversimplifying a complex memory store
• neutral - MSM (1968) –> WMM (1974)
