Aim: To investigate the duration of short-term memory, and provide empirical evidence for the multi-store model.

Peterson & Peterson
Procedure: 24 students as participants. Had to recall meaningless trigrams, to prevent rehearsal they used Brown peterson technique. Had different interval times of 3,6,9,12,18 secs.

Peterson & Peterson
Findings: Longer intervals meant less trigrams recalled. With 3 secs 80% recalled accurately. With 18 secs less than 10%

Conclusion: STM has limited duration when rehearsal prevented. Supports the MSM.

Multi-store Model keys points for AO1
Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968). Sensory Memory, original form, large capacity, short duration. STM uses maintenance rehearsal, to keep info in STM.

Multi-store Model keys points for AO1
LTM needs elaborative rehearsal to recieve info from STM. Created from previous work by others.

Case study - HM
Contradicts the MSM as it suggests more than one store in LTM.

Working memory model - key points for AO1
Phonological loop has two components. Phonological store, the inner ear. Also Articulatory process the inner voice. Episodic Buffer holds info from LTM. All components have short duration and small capacity.
