- The Multi-store Model of Memory
- Short Term Memory
- Coding: Info is stored acoustically (in the form of sound).
- Capacity: Miller suggested 7+-2 (5-9) can be improved by chunking
- Duration: Short (18-30s), can be extended by rehearsal.
- Info passed to LTM through maintenance rehearsal (repeating info) or elaborative rehearsal (linking to info in LTM)
- Info can be lost through displacement or decay.
- Sensory Register
- Info must be detected by sensory neurons.
- Info passed to STM by paying attention
- Capacity: Large (has to contain sense impressions for all senses constantly),
- Coding: Modality specific (ionic=vision,echoic=sound,gustatory=taste etc)
- Duration; Very short due to amount of info, each store has a different duration.
- Long Term Memory
- Coding: Semantic (form of meaning)
- Capacity: No limit found. Info can be lost, info in LTM can be non acessible
- Duration: Potentially unlimited.
- To use LTM info, needs to be passed to STM (retrieval).
- Short Term Memory
