- Multi-store model
- Limitations
- too simplistic and inflexible to explain entire memory system
- doesn't go into enough detail or take enough details into account which may effect what info individuals remember clearer
- e.g. they haven't considered whether someone finds the information interesting or any methods that people may use to remember info
- doesn't go into enough detail or take enough details into account which may effect what info individuals remember clearer
- criticised by Baddeley and Hitch with their theory of WMM
- MSM states that STM is a single store with very limited capacity
- Baddeley and Hitch disagree with this and their model emphasises this
- MSM states that STM is a single store with very limited capacity
- too simplistic and inflexible to explain entire memory system
- Strengths
- distinguishes between STM and LTM in terms of capacity, duration and encoding
- supported by people with brain damage causing memory impairment (case study of HM)
- serial position effect (Glanzer and Cunitz) - conducted a lab experiment
- distinguishes between STM and LTM in terms of capacity, duration and encoding
- Limitations
