Aim: To provide evidence to support the [blank_start]multi-store[blank_end] explanation of memory
Method: Participants had to learn a list of words presented one at a time, for [blank_start]two[blank_end] seconds per word to remember and then asked them to recall them in any order
Results: the words at the end of the list were the first recalled first (known recency effect). words from the beginning of the list were also recalled quite well (known as the primary effect), but the middle words were not recalled well at all.
Conclusion: Murdock concluded that this provides for separate short-term and long-term
Evaluation: [blank_start]positive[blank_end] - Evidence for the model [blank_start]Negative[blank_end] - low ecological validity (not asked to do this everyday) therefore can't generalise results.
