?
Encoding
Changing information into a form so it can be held in the brain.
1 of 8
Storage

What is the Multi-store model of memory?
It is a model that aims to explain memory. It states that there is three memory stores, each with different coding, capacity and duration. Information moves through attention and verbal rehersal.
4 of 8
Sensory memory, STM and LTM
Sensory memory has a short duration but a large capacity, moves information into STM. Short term memory has a limited duration and capacity (5-9 things at a time). LTM uses semantic encoding, has an unlimited capacity, info stored up to a lifetime.
5 of 8
Interferance
It can affect the accuracy of memory and is strongest when you try to remember two similar things.
6 of 8
Context
Context of learning acts as a trigger or cue, improving the accuracy of memory.
7 of 8
False memories
Imagining an event can implant a false memory in a person, reducing accuracy of memory.
