Multi-store Model of Memory

These flashcards cover the key concepts and evaluations of the Multi-store Model of Memory, including its features, types of memory, relevant studies, and limitations.

What are the three stores in the Multi-store Model of Memory?

Sensory Register (SR), Short-term Memory (STM), Long-term Memory (LTM).

What type of coding is used in Short-term Memory (STM)?

Acoustic coding.

What is the capacity of Short-term Memory (STM)?

Between 5 and 9 items (7 ± 2).

What is the duration of Short-term Memory (STM) without rehearsal?

About 18 seconds.

What type of rehearsal is required for transferring information from STM to LTM?

Maintenance rehearsal.

What is the duration of Long-term Memory (LTM)?

Potentially up to a lifetime.

What coding is primarily used in Long-term Memory (LTM)?

Semantic coding.

What study provided evidence for different types of memory coding in STM and LTM?

Baddeley's study (1966).

What limitation is associated with the Multi-store Model of Memory regarding STM?

Evidence suggests there is more than one STM store.

What alternative type of rehearsal is mentioned as more effective for transferring information to LTM?

Elaborative rehearsal.
