  • multi store model
    • sensory register
      • the sensory register detects and records information coming frm the five sense automatically
        • information is passed on to the stm by paying attention
          • short term memory
            • recieves information that was payed attention to in the sensory register
            • information is passed by elaborative rehersal
              • long term memory
                • information could last permanently
                • coding: semantic, capacity: unlimited, duration: forever
              • information could be lost due to displacement or decay therefore cannot be retrieved
            • coding: acoustic, capacity: 7+/- items, duration: 18/30s
        • iconic: vision, echoic: sound, haptic: touch, gustatory: taste, olfactory: smell,
        • coding: modality specific, capacity: unlimited, duration: 250m/s
    • short term memory
      • recieves information that was payed attention to in the sensory register
      • information is passed by elaborative rehersal
        • long term memory
          • information could last permanently
          • coding: semantic, capacity: unlimited, duration: forever
        • information could be lost due to displacement or decay therefore cannot be retrieved
      • coding: acoustic, capacity: 7+/- items, duration: 18/30s
    • evaluation
      • limitation: msm is evidence of more than one stm store
        • Shalice and Warrington studied a client that had amnesia; the clients stm for numbers were very poor when said outloud but much better when read by himself
          • this suggests that the msm is wrong in claiming that there is only one stm store processing diif types of info (senses)
      • strength: msm is supported from studies showing thta stm and ltm are different
        • counterpoint: artificial rather than based on reaal life
        • Baddeley: found we tend to mix up words while using the stm when the sounds were similar but when using the ltm we tend to mix up words that have similar meanings
      • limitation:  prolonged rehersal is not needed for transfer to ltm
        • Craik and Watkins: elaborative rehersal (when you link the information to the already existing information) is more important than prolonged rehesal
