Who created the multistore model? |
Atkinson and Shiffrin |
|
|
What is the first store? |
Sensory register |
|
|
sensory register |
Recieves information from senses. Large capacity very short duration |
|
|
What transfers information from the sensory register to STM? |
Attention |
|
|
STM |
Information is held for immediate tasks such as working on maths problems. Limited capacity so information decays. Limited duration unless rehearsed |
|
|
Maintenence rehearsal |
Process of repetition which creates LTM |
|
|
LTM |
Potentially unlimited capacity and duration |
|
|
Retrieval |
The process of memories moving from LT to STM |
|
|
What are the 6 main parts of MSM |
Sensory register Attention Stm Maintenence rehearsal Ltm Retrieval |
|
|
Strength- supporting evidence |
Brain scans show the difference between stm and ltm. Beardsley found that the prefrontal cortex is active for STM but not LTM. Squire et al found that hippocampus is active for ltm |
|
|
Strength support with HM |
HM motorcycle victim = hippocampus reduced. Personality and intelligence remaind the same but could not form new LTms although he could remember stuff from before surgery |
|
|
Limited wmm |
Wmm suggests that stm is stored in a number of different stores |
|
|
Limitation |
Maintenence rehearsal explains how lt semantic memories are formed but doesn't explain how lt episodic memories are formed. Craik and lockhart suggest that ltm are created by the processing. The more deeply processed information is the more memorable it is |
