Multi Store Model of memory

?
Who developed the idea of MSM?
Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)
1 of 18
What is the role of attention?
if a person's attentoion is focused on one of sensory stores , it's information is transferred to the STM
2 of 18
When information is replaced by new information in the STM this is called what|?
dispacment
3 of 18
There is a direct relationship between the amount of rehearsal in STM and what?
The strength of the memory in LTM
4 of 18
How does the process of retrieval work?
retrieved information has to pass back through the STM before it can be consciously recalled
5 of 18
E1 (strength): Is there any lab based evidence to support MSM?
Lab studies of capacity, duration and coding all suggest that memory has seperate unitory stores
6 of 18
E1 (strength): Is there any biological evidence to support MSM?
Beardesly (1997) condiuctted a brain sca showing links between STM and the prefrontal cortex. Squire (1992) found a link between LTM and the hippocampus
7 of 18
E2 (strength): are there any case studies to support MSM?
HM who suffered brain damage after an operation to remove his hippocampus to reduce severe epilepsy supports separate unitary memory stores
8 of 18
E2 (strength): how does HM support the existence of MSM?
His personality + intelect were left intact but he could no longer form LTMs but he could still remember things before his surgery
9 of 18
E3 (weakness): What evidence exists that MSMS is too simple?
the same supporting evidence for WMM (KF and SC damage to the phological loop) suggest that MSM is too simle and argues for thi exisitnce of qualatitive memory stores
10 of 18
E4 (weakness) Does LTM require more than maintenance rehearsal?
Yes -Craik and Lockhart (1972) suggest that LTM's are created by deep processing = doing more complex things to remember them than just repeationgthem
11 of 18
E4 (weakness) what evidence is there to suggest that this is the case?
Craik and Tulving (1975) found that PPs given a list of nouns remember the words that they were asked deep processing questions about
12 of 18
E4 (weakness) what is an example of deep processing?
asking if a word could fit in a particular sentence
13 of 18
E4 (weakness) what is an example of shallow processing?
asking if a word was in capital letters
14 of 18
E5: why did Logie (1999) challenge the idea that STM proceeds LTM?
because he demonstrated that STM relies on LTM by stting that in orrder to chunck information it is first necesary to refer to the meanings of such informartion. maning that is stored in the LTM
15 of 18
E5: How did Ruchkin (2003) demonjstrate Logie's (1999) argument?
he asked PPs to recall both words and psedo words while montering theri brain activity.
16 of 18
E5: What did Ruchkin (2003) find?
There was far more brian activity when recalling real words suggesting asn asociation process
17 of 18
E5: What did Ruchkin (2003) conclude?
The STM is mearly a subsection of the LTM
