The Multi-Store Model of Memory

?
  • The MSM consists of 3 stores
  • Sensory register, short-term memory, long-term memory
  • Info enters sensory register - large capacity - sensors constantly recieving information
  • Most info recieves no attention - duration is limited (milliseconds)
  • Info which is attended to, enters the STM - if info is rehersed in STM, will create LTM
  • LTM has potentially unlimited duration and capacity
  • Strength - supports labatory evidence
  • Miller found duration of STM is 7+/-2 
  • Bahrick found duration of LTM is approx 48 years
  • Lab evidence…
