1. Who?

   • Founder
     • Atkinson and Shiffrin
   • For
     • Glanzer and Cunitz
       • What?
         • Ps given list of words.
           • Findings
             • First and last words easier to remember
           • Conclusions
             • First easier because of rehearsal, last easier because still in STM
       • How?
         • Shows that STM and LTM are two different memory types, with different methods of retention for each.
     • HM
       • How?
         • Removal of Hippocampus led to lack of LTM, supporting idea that LTM is relatively simple, and exists in one "chunk" as shown by MSM
       • What?
         • Had epilepsy
           • Hippocampus removed in surgery
             • No longer commits to LTM, still has SM and STM
   • Against
     • Clive Wearing
       • What?
         • Viral Infection
           • Damaged hippocampus (area associated with LTM)
             • Can use STM but cant store new memories
               • Except procedural
       • How?
         • Shows that entirety of LTM not reliant on hippocampus.
           • This means that LTM is not just one block but many different types.
             • Suggesting that MSM oversimple
     • KF
       • What?
         • Motorcycle accident.
           • Brain Damage
             • Can use LTM
               • Can use STM visually, not verbal
       • How?
         • Suggests more improvement / accuracy needed for the MSM
