Memory
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1The Multistore Model of Memory (MSM)Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968). Sensory Register (SR), Short-Term Memory (STM), Long-Term Memory (LTM). Each stage differs in terms of: Capacity (how much info can be stored), Duration (how long info can be stored for), Coding (form in which info is stored)
- 2Sensory Register (SR)Automatic response to sensory info by sense organs, senses not controlled cognitively + in unprocessed form. 5 sensory stores + sensory input: echoic (auditory info), iconic (visual), naptic (tactile), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell). If paid attention to info in SR it is passed to short-term memory, if not then decays. Large capacity. limited duration - different within each store
- 3Short Term Memory (STM)Temporary store for info that is currently being thought about. Coding - Baddeley (1966), primarily acoustic. Capacity - Jacobs (1887), limited, 9 numbers, 7 letters. Miller's 'magic number 7' + chunking (grouping). Duration - Peterson & Peterson (1959) - 20-30secs.
- 4Long Term Memory (LTM)Store info from 30secs to a lifetime, different types (not all of equal strength). Coding - deeper level of processing ensuring memory is more likely to be retrieved - Baddeley (1996) LTM coded on semantic basis. Capacity - Anohkin (1973), unlimited. Duration - lifetime.
