- multi-store model of memory
- Sensory memory
- Information stored for very short period of time.
- persons attention is focused-datais transferrd to STM.
- Short term Memory
- Information must be rehearsed to be remebered in STM
- Limited capacity
- 4 chunks of information.
- rehearsal moves information into LTM.
- Short duration

- Short term Memory

- Limited capacity
- 4 chunks of information.
- rehearsal moves information into LTM.
- Short duration
- Long term memory
- Unlimited capacity
- Unlimited duration
- Strengths
- Clear predictions.
- Easy to test.
- Provides structure and process of memory.
- Evidence of 3 stores of memory.
- Clear predictions.
- Weaknesses
- Evidence (from Schachter et al 2000) shows 4 long term stores.
- Semantic, episodic, procedural, perceptual.
- Criticised for focus on structure not enough process.
- Doesn't show transfer of information from SM to LTM.
- Evidence (from Schachter et al 2000) shows 4 long term stores.
- Sensory memory
