Memory Evaluation Points

Memory Evaluation Points

1. Multi-store Model

   • Research Support
     • Sperling (1960)
       • Shows that info decays rapidly in the sensory register; has a very brief duration
     • Glanzer + Cunitz
       • Primacy + Recency Effect
     • HM
       • STM in tact, couldn't form new LTM
         • Shows there are separate stores
   • Research Against
     • KF
       • Damaged LTM, Only verbal info affected. Visual was still intact
         • MSM to simplistic; there are different types of STM

2. Working Memory Model

   • KF
     • His visual info was still intact, but verbal affected by brain damage
       • = visuo-spatial sketchpad unaffected phonological loop affected
