What is the Multi Store Model?

Cognitive model that uses 3 separate systems (sensory buffer/memory, Short term memory, long term memory) to explain how memory flows

2
New cards

Explain the 3 stores from multi store model

  • Sensory memory (sight, hearing, etc) → Info received through environmental stimulus using senses for brief moment

  • Short-term memory → Store with limited capacity (7±2) and duration

    • Info enters STM if attention is given to sensory buffer/memory

    • New info that is not rehearsed or disrupted → displaced

  • Long - memory → Store with unlimited capacity with extensive duration

    • Info transfers to LTM after rehearsal

    • Info transferred from LTM → STM = Retrival

Describe the study of HM (Milner)

Aim: To understand the effects of removing the hippocampus & Amygdala on memory.

Procedure:

  • Child (HM) suffering epileptic seizures after a head injury.

  • Surgeon removed Parts of his amygdala (emotional memories) and hippocampus (episodic, semantic and converting STM to LTM) to reduce epileptic seizures.

After removal

  • Could not acquire episodic (General factual) or semantic (autobiographical) memories

  • could not transfer STM → LTM,

  • Procedural memories (how to do something) were well maintained, Hm could learn how to mirror draw.

Conclusion: Showcases how memory correlates to different areas in brain

  • Hippocampus is responsible for converting STM to LTM.

  • Procedural memory is in separate area of brain → Allowing for Mirror drawing learning

  • The amygdala is responsible for emotional memories.

Apply the Multi Store Model to HM

  • Sensory memory and semantic procedural (how to) unaffected - HM improved & learned skill of mirror drawing using sensen

  • STM still worked - HM could repeat 584 through rehearsal for 15 minutes. → did not move to LTM

  • Transfer from STM to LTM was broken - without hippocampus rehearsal could not move information into permanent storage.

New cards

What are the strengths and limitations of the HM?

+ High internal validity (confidence IV affected DV) → Lab conditions are controlled → removed role of confounding/external variables such as outside noise (can effect focus & memory)

-- Low ecological validity - lab conditions not applicable to real life → lower generalizability

-- Unethical and correlational.

- Does not explain emotional influence on transfer between stores.

Explain the serial position effect

How position of info in sequence effects how well you remember it

  • Primacy effect: Words at beginning of list are remembered

  • Recency effect: Words at the end are best remembered
