What is the multi-store memory model (MSM)?
A representation of how memory works in terms of three stores
What does the MSM describe?
How information is transferred from one store to another, how it's remembered and how its discovered
Who proposed the model?
Atkinson and Shiffrin
How is the short term memory (STM) encoded?
By acoustics
What is the STM's capacity?
5 to 9 items, for 18 to 30 seconds
How is the long term memory (LTM) encoded?
By semantics
What's the LTM's capacity?
Unlimited, can store memories for a lifetime
A permanent memory store, how is LTM material recalled?
It has to be moved to the STM
How does the mind process information?
Input, storage and retrieval
What is encoding?
The format in which information is stored in various memory stores
What is storage?
The process of holding information in the memory
What is retrieval?
The process of transferring information from the LTM to the STM and recalling it
What is capacity?
The amount of information that can be held in the memory
What is duration?
How long information can be stored for
What evidence can be used to support MSM?
Baddeley 1966
Who showed that there may be more than one type of STM?
Shallice and Warrington 1970
What's the application of this model?
Applied to ways of improving memory
Who proposed the competing argument that the STM is part of the LTM?
Guillermo Campitelli 2015
Which model is this?
Multi-store memory model
What does the sensory register process?
Stimuli from the environment, e.g. Taste, touch
If we view information processed in the sensory register as valuable, where is it moved?
Short term memory
