- 1Multi Store ModelClinical Studies - to support the distinction between STM & LTM: Korsakoff Syndrome - It has little effect on STM but severely impairs LTM. KF – it had no effect on LTM but led to poor performance on many STM tasks.
Glazner & Cunitz’s study on Primacy and Recency Effects shows that when participants are asked to recall a list of words they are more likely to remember the first few (the primacy effect) and the last few words (the recency effect), and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list.
Cohen and Squire suggested that LTM can be divided into declarative memory (‘knowing that’) and procedural memory (‘knowing how’). E.g. Clive Wearing, he lost his declarative memory (e.g. he has no memory of his wedding) but still has use of his procedural memory (he can still play piano).
Too much Emphasis on Rehearsal - The MSM suggests rehearsal is the only method of transferring from STM to LTM. There are other things that impact on how information is transferred, for example, some things are easier to recall because they are funny, distinctive or significant.
