, "Murdock's Evaluation 2" Artificial task - Word lists were used which is only one type of memory, so the 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 (Carlesimo et al.)"
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
Theory of reconstructive memory (RM) The theory, Memory is innacurate, Reconstruction, Social and cultural influences, Effort
after meaning.
Memory is inaccurate people rebuild memory as an active process. Memory is not a process of exact
reproduction of experiences
Reconstructive Memory evaluation 1 More realistic research. Reflects how we use memory in everyday life because it uses a
story not word lists
