AO2: Why is the MSM seen as a simplified model?
STM can be further subdivided into different stores (as the WMM suggests) + Schachter et al showed that LTM can be subdivided into different kinds of memory.
7 of 11
Who supports the limited duration of the sensory store?
Sperling (1960)
8 of 11
What case study supports distinctions between the STM & LTM?
HM (hippocampi were removed)

What did Logie (1999) suggest?
STM relies on LTM and so it cannot come first as suggested in the model.
