1Who proposed the multi-store model?
- AGlanzer and Cunitz
- BAtkinson and Shiffrin
- CCraik and Lockhart
2What year did Atkinson and Shiffrin propose the MSM?
- A1966
- B1972
- C1968
- D1970
3The MSM is made up of ________ stores?
- A2 - Short-term memory and Long-term memory
- B3 - Sensory memory, Short-term memory and Long-term memory
- C4 - Attention, Sensory memory, Short-term memory and Long-term memory
4What is encoding?
- AThe way information is changed into a form which can be stored, e.g. visual, acoustic, semantic.
- BThe amount of time information is stored
- CThe way information is lost and forgotten
5Information is rehearsed in the STM and if rehearsed sufficiently it is transferred to LTM
- ATrue
- BFalse
6What capacity does the short-term memory hold?
- AThere is no limit
- B7 plus or minus 2
- CJust 7
- D5 plus or minus 2
7Who stated that the short-term memory had a limited capacity of 7 plus or minus 2? and what year? (SELECT TWO ANSWERS)
- AJacobs
- BMiller
- CGlanzer and Cunitz
- D1956
- E1887
- F1966
8Information in short-term memory is mainly stored in what form?
- AVisual
- BAcoustic
- CHaptic
9Information in the short-term sensory store is stored in chunks of 7 plus or minus 2?
- ATrue
- BFalse
10If there is too much information and it cannot be rehearsed the short-term sensory store still transfers it to the long-term memory?
- ATrue
- BFalse
11Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) conducted a study in which they asked participants to recall a list of words. Half of the participants were required to recall the list of words immediately. What did their results show?
- AAll participants only remembered 7 words
- BIndividuals tended to forget most of the words on the list apart from the last words, as short-term memory has limited duration
- CParticipants tended to remember the first few and last few words and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list
- DParticipants tended to remember the words in the middle of the list and forget the words at the beginning and end of the list
12In Glazer and Cunitz's (1966) study half of the participants were asked to conduct a task before recalling the list of words. Results found that the participants who had to carry out a task before recalling the list tended to forget the words at the end of the list, but still remember the words at the start of the list. Does this support the MSM?
- AYes
- BNo
13Encoding is mainly semantic (meaning based) in the long-term memory store.
- ATrue
- BFalse
14According to the MSM the long-term memory store has a limited capacity and duration
- ATrue
- BFalse
15Forgetting in long-term memory occurs in the retrieval stage not the processing stage
- ATrue
- BFalse
16Each store within the MSM differs in terms of what?
- ADuration - how long the information is stored
- BCapacity - how much information is stored
- CEncoding - the form of information (eg. visual).
