Who proposed tWhat are the three stores of memory according to the MSM?he MSM?
Atkinson and Shiffrin
What are the three stores of memory according to the MSM?
The sensory store/register, the short-term memory (STM), and the long-term memory (LTM)
How is information transferred from the sensory register to the short-term memory?
By paying attention to specific sensory stimuli (e.g. noise)
How is information transferred from STM to LTM?
Rehearsal
What are some criticisms of the MSM?
Overly simplistic:
The MSM has been criticised for being overly simplistic, Baddley and Hitch rectify this with the Working Memory Model (WMM) which involves a more detailed model of short-term memory rather than a single unitary store. It is also believed that LTM is divided up into more than one store (episodic, procedural, and semantic).
Research into STM and LTM has low ecological validity/lacks mundane realism
