MEMORY

1. The Multi-Store Model

   • The multistore model of memory was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin and is a structural model.
     • They proposed that memory consisted of three stores: sensory register, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM).
   • Sensory Register • Duration: ¼ to ½ second • Capacity: all sensory experience (v. larger capacity) • Encoding: sense specific (e.g. different stores for each sense)
