    • Multi-store model
      • the multi store model consists of three unitory stores which are, sensory store, short term memory and long term memory.
      • according to MSM to remember information, you have to rehearse it and if you don't, it will decay in the sensory store.
      • the capacity of stm is 7 +/- 2 chunks. the duration is about 30 seconds. the encoding is mainly acoustic.
      • the capacity of ltm is unlimited. the duration is upto a life time and the encoding is mainly semantic
    • working memory model
      • the WMM constists of, episodic buffer, phonological loop, visu-spatial sketchpad and the central executive
      • the model was created by baddeley and hitch and the episodic buffer was the last component which was added in 2000.
      • the visuo spatial sketchpad is used when you are planning visual tasks like getting from one room to another.
      • the central executive is a general store which collects information from other stores to see whats happening right now.
      • the phonlogical loop is like a inner-ear which collects and encodes sounds.
