The ability to recall events from our lives - ANSWER What is the Episodic Memory?
A visual representation of memory. It is a structural model in which STM and LTM
are unitary stores.
Information flows in a linear fashion through each store.
Each store has a different capacity, information is held for a different duration, and
information coding differs. - ANSWER What is The Multistore Model
Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) - ANSWER Who was the The Multistore Model created
by?
Unlimited - ANSWER What is the Capacity of the Sensory Registry?
7 ± 2 - ANSWER What is the Capacity of the Short Term Memory store?
Unlimited - ANSWER What is the Capacity of the Long Term Memory store?
Half a second - ANSWER What is the Duration of the Sensory Registry?
15 - 30 seconds - ANSWER What is the Duration of the Short Term Memory store?
A Lifetime - ANSWER What is the Duration of the Long Term Memory store?
No coding, Raw information - ANSWER What is the Coding of the Sensory
Registry?
Mainly Acoustic - ANSWER What is the Coding of the Short Term Memory store?
Mainly Semantic - ANSWER What is the Coding of the Long Term Memory store?
P: There are multiple different studies to show the existence of the separate stores
and how different they are
E: Baddey's "Delayed Confusion" and "Immediate Confusion" studies showed that
the Short Term Memory and Long Term Memory are coded differently
E: And the "Yearbook" study by Bahrick showed the duration of Long Term Memory
and how info is retrieved into Short Term Memory
L: This is a strength of the model as it clearly shows there are different stores and
how they are different.
The abundance if empirical evidence adds validity to the theory - ANSWER How
does research support the existence of separate memory stores?
P: The Primacy/Recency Effect can be used to add validity to the Multi-Store Model
E: When remembering lists of words we often remember words at the beginning and
end better than the middle
