- Multi store model
- Atkinson and shiffrin - three seperate stores (SM, STM, LTM)
- Rehearsal is a key control process
- Sensory register
- Info is held at each of the senses
- Large capacity
- Iconic memory - info coded visually
- Echoic memory - info coded acoustically (sound)
- Attention
- Attention on sensory stores = data moved to STM
- STM
- Limited duration that will decay if not rehearsed
- Limited capacity = new info can displace original info menaing its forgotten
- Maintenance rehearsal
- The more the info is rehearsed the better its remebered
- LTM
- Potentially unlimited in capacity and duration
- Retrival
- Info has to pass back through STM from LTM for it to be available
- AO3
- HM'S brain damage op
- HM'S hippocampus was damaged. His personality remained intact but he couldn't make new LTM - he still remembered LTM from before the surgery
- Artificial testing
- Studies used artifical material that has no meaning - in day life we form memories from everything
- = Low mundane realism
- Studies used artifical material that has no meaning - in day life we form memories from everything
- More than one LTM
- Not a unitary memory store - we have different stores for different memories
- Goes against MSM theory - low external validity
- Not a unitary memory store - we have different stores for different memories
- STM doesn't come first
- STM relies on LTM - in order to chunk a list of letters the meaningful groups of letters which are stored in LTM must be recalled
