- MEMORY MODELS
- Multi-store Model
- Attkinson & Shiffrin (1968)
- STM
- 7+/- 2 chunks capacity
- 18 secs duration
- Acoustic coding
- LTM
- Unlimited capacity
- Lifetime duration
- Semantic coding
- Types of LTM
- Episodic
- Semantic
- Procedural
- Evidence
- Clive Wearing
- HM
- Tulving
- Sensory register
- Unlimited capacity
- Millisecond duration
- Echoic, iconic coding
- Strengths
- First study to explain memory
- Good as an overview
- Explains how we transfer info from STM to LTM
- Lots of empirical support
- Weaknesses
- Linear
- Flashbulb memories
- Simplistic
- Only shows 1 store for STM & LTM
- Doesn't explain forgetting in LTM
- Working Memory Model
- Baddeley & Hitch (1974)
- Central Executive
- Limited capacity
- Overall control
- Multi-Model
- Phonological loop
- Limited capacity
- Temporary storage for verbal speech based info
- "inner voice"
- Visuo-spatial sketchpad
- Limited capacity
- Temporary storage for visual & spatial based info
- "inner eye"
- Strengths
- Explains brain damaged patients
- Active process
- Lots of empirical support
- KF case study
- Baddeley (1996)
- Helps understand disorders and individual difference
- Weaknesses
- Too simplistic
- Should link to LTM
- Doesn't account for other senses
- Doesn't account for musical memory
- Multi-store Model
