The Multistore Memory Model AO3

Question 1

✅How does case study evidence from HM support the MSM?

Answer 1

HM was unable to form new long-term memories (LTM) but had an unaffected short-term memory (STM), supporting the idea of separate memory stores in MSM.

Question 2

✅ What other case study supports the idea of separate memory stores in the MSM?

Answer 2

KF’s case showed that he had impaired STM but intact LTM after a motorcycle accident, further supporting the MSM’s claim of distinct memory stores.

Question 3

❌ What evidence suggests that STM may be more complex than the MSM proposes?

Answer 3

KF’s case showed that he had poor STM for verbal information but good STM for visual information, indicating that STM may have multiple stores.

Question 4

❌ How does Clive Wearing’s case challenge the MSM?

Answer 4

Clive Wearing could recall procedural memories (e.g., playing piano) but not episodic memories, suggesting that LTM is divided into different types (episodic, semantic, procedural).
