The Multi Store Model Of Memory

Question 1

MSM

Answer 1

Represents how memory is stored and transferred between stores
3 stores the sensory register, short term memory and long term memory
Sensory register connected to all 5 senses and so has a huge capacity but duration less than half a seconds info only passes to STM
PROLONGED Maintenance rehearsal is when we repeat info so it goes to our LTM
LTM retrieval must occur so info can go back toSTM and pass through Maintenance loop after.

Question 2

AO3

Answer 2

• dif types of LTM as proposed by tulving p,e,s, so msm doesn’t represent because shows ltm as singular. Doesn’t represent that some info can be retrieved consciously

+ msm acknowledges qualitative difference between STM AND LTM by reping in dif stores dif coding and duration. So portrays accurate dif between them

• msm doesn’t rep stm properly as shows it as one singular store but acc case study of KF shows that had poor recall of auditory stimuli but accurate for visual stimuli. So dif types of stm
