retrieval (back)
Maintenace rehearsal - down and information retrieval - 2Atkinson and Shiffrin's (1968) multistore model of memorymakes a distinction between separate stores of sensory register, STM and LTM
- 3model suggests info is stored in LTM in what wayinfo reaches our senses from the environment and enters our memeory system through the sensory register (registers for only brief periods)
2. some of the info from SR is picked up by process of ATTENTION and PASSES through to STM
3.info can be kept in STM INDEFINETELY through maintenance rehearsal (repeating info to store for a limited time) - allows material to remain in the STM which only has a limited capacity and duration
4. if we THINK about info in STM (process called elaborative rehearsal) - info becomes coded semantically and passes to the long-term store (has unlimited capacity) - 4key claims of modeleach store is UNITARY- each is just one (no separate parts)
each store is SEPARATE to the others- features are very different to each other in terms of capacity, duration and coding, - one store can be damaged when the other is not - 5codingway info is changed so it can be stored in memory ( format which it is stored)
- 6capacityamount of info a store can hold at any one time
- 7durationlength of time information can be held in memory
