What are the 5 infomational processors of memory?
1. Input 2. Encoding 3. Storage 4. Retrieval 5. Output
1 of 11
Strength 1
This studies supprots that there is a difference between LTM & STM and where they are in the brain.
2 of 11
Strength 2
Supports Glanzer & Cunitz idea that in a sequence of words you'll remember the first words as they go to LTM, then forget the middle ones whilst you recite the first few then remember the last ones as they go to STM.
3 of 11
Weakness 1
The MSM model is too oversimplistic, it sugegsts the LTM & STM both operate in a single formation.
4 of 11
Weakness 2
Suggests rehursal is required for pieces of infomation to transfer from STM to LTM, when it isn't.

Clive Wearing (CW) & Henry Moalison (HM)
You can use these cases to support & critize stidy. HM shows how memory (LTM & STM) must be stored differently as he could't add to his memory but still retained a lot of his LTM. CW critizes study as he lost his STM but could still play old piano.

What is it?
It is an alternative model to the Multi-Store Model and emphasises on STM.
7 of 11
What is the Central Exectutive?
This is the main part to the model. Helps to co-ordinate all of the other systems with one-another. It has three sub-systems and decides what infomation gets attended to.
8 of 11
What are the three sub-systems of the central exectutive?
1. Visuospacial Sketchpad 2. Episodic Buffer 3. Phonological Loop
9 of 11
What does the Visuospacial Sketchpad do?
This deals with all the visual infomation coming in. It sorts how we view it so how it is layed out.
10 of 11
What does the phonological loop do?
This holds all verbal infomation recieved for up to 2 seconds. Written infomation can be transferred to it by verbal means either acoustically or out-loud.
