Models of memory 3.0 / 5 based on 1 rating ? PsychologyMemoryASAQA Created by: AmbrosiaCreated on: 09-01-13 12:05 Multi-Store Model Atkinson and Shifrin Structure sensory memory-evidence from sperling STM-limited capacity and duration, mainly acoustic encoding LTM-unlimited capacity and encoding, mainly semantic encoding Processes attention and maintenance rehearsal 1 of 4 strengths and limitation of MSM Strengths Strong evidence to support claims for duration, capacity and encoding includes details of structure and processes has stimulated a lot of research which leads to increased understanding of memory Evidence for the three stores-primacy and recency effect, and sperling Limitations oversimplified STM doesnt function as a unitary store-KF could process visual but not verbal information. LTM is not a unitary store- semantic episodic and procedural memories processing more important than maintenance rehearsal STM is not independent of LTM-ruchkin words and pseudo words 2 of 4 The Working Memory Model Baddeley and Hitch Explains why you can do two tasks at the same time but not similar tasks Central executive-task allocation, small capacity phonological loop-phonological store and articulatory control process, maintenence rehearsal VisuoSpatial sketchpad-visual cache and inner scribe Episodic Buffer-general store that integrates info from other stores 3 of 4 strengths and limitation of WMM Strengths explains word length effect Explains the memory deficits of KF Emphasises process rather than structure Maintenence rehearsal is only an optional process 4 of 4
