, Murdock's Evaluation 2 Artificial task, only one type of memory, study lacks validity
Murdock's Evaluation 3 Supporting research, some amnesiacs can't store LTM and also do not show primacy
effect, which shows the primacy effect is related to LTM
Multi-store model Three memory stores: different coding, capacity and duration. Information moves
through attention and verbal rehearsal.
STM duration less than 30 seconds unless rehearsed
Sensory memory coding appropriate to the sense
sensory memory capacity very high capacity
sensory memory duration only very briefly (half a second) unless paid attention too
STM coding tends to be accoustic
STM capacity 5-9 chunks of information
LTM coding tends to be semantic rather than acoustic
LTM capacity potentially unlimited, constantly weeds out unnecessary information
LTM duration up to a lifetime
MSM evaluation - supporting research evidence for different memory stores. Research has shown STM and LTM are qualitatively
different. Baddeley found we mix up words that sound similar when using STM and words
with similar meanings when we use LTM. Shows coding in STM is acoustic and coding in
LTM is semantic.
