multistore model of memory - Coggle Diagram
multistore model of memory
claims
information gets into memory store (encoding), through storage in STM and remains there in LTM, it gets out through retrieval
evaluation
application to improving memory: 'chunking' can increase limited capacity of STM
more than one type of STM: MSM states that there is only one type of STM but evidence from amnesia shows this cannot be true
supporting research evidence - Baddeley found that we tend to mix up words that sound similar in STM and we mix up words with similar meanings in LTM
sensory register
duration less than half a second
all stimuli from environment pass through SR
high capacity
gets into STM through attention
long term memory store
encoding: semantic
when recalling info from LTM it has to be transferred back to STM
capacity- practically unlimited
potentially permanent store
short term sensory store (STM)
span/capacity of STM is 5-9 items or (7+/-2)
information that is attended to enters STM
encoding: acoustic
duration: 18-30 seconds
duration of STM can be extended through maintenance rehearsal
rehearsal processes it into LTM
