- Evaluation of the Multi-Store Model
- Weaknesses
- It is simplistic and does not distinguish between levels in the LTM
- Underemphasises interaction between stores (how long term memory influences the sensory store and STM
- It does not account for flashbulb memories, which go straight to LTM, which is not linear
- Strengths
- There is empirical evidence - Glanzer and Cunitz - Serial Positions Effects which showed there are separate STM and LTM stores
- Clive Wearing - Damaged his hippocampus (STM) however could remember things stored in LTM. e.g wife's name
- Milner's Case - able to store info in STM by rehearsal however was unable to place new memories in LTM
- Weaknesses
