- Multi-store model (Atkinson & Shiffrin)
- Sensory memory
- information collected by senses (eyes, ears etc.)
- Duration - information is retained for a very short period
- Capacity - very large
- Encoding - depends on sense organ involved i.e. visual for eyes, acoustic for ears
- most information lost through decay
- Short-term memory (STM)
- temporary storage depot - storing information for brief periods of time
- Duration - 18 to 30 seconds (Peterson & Peterson)
- Encoding - acoustically (Conrad)
- Capacity - 7+/-2 items of information (Miller)
- Long-term memory (LTM)
- holds a vast quantity of information for long periods of time
- Duration - considerably longer than STM, can last almost a lifetime
- Capacity - not possible to quantify exact amount, most psychologists agree it is unlimited
- Encoding - semantically (Baddeley)
- Sensory memory
- unitary stores
- Short-term memory (STM)
- temporary storage depot - storing information for brief periods of time
- Duration - 18 to 30 seconds (Peterson & Peterson)
- Encoding - acoustically (Conrad)
- Capacity - 7+/-2 items of information (Miller)
- Long-term memory (LTM)
- holds a vast quantity of information for long periods of time
- Duration - considerably longer than STM, can last almost a lifetime
- Capacity - not possible to quantify exact amount, most psychologists agree it is unlimited
- Encoding - semantically (Baddeley)
- Short-term memory (STM)
- rehearsal is needed to pass information from STM to LTM
