Multi Store Model of Memory
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Outline the duration, capacity and type of info encoded of the stores in the MSM...
- 2Who proposed the MSM and in what year? How is info lost from the STM?Atkinson & Shiffrin 1968
If insufficient rehearsal, info is lost from STM through displacement or decay - 3Evidence for separate memory stores? ( Multi-store model of memory)Glanzer & Cunitz 1966 - Serial positioning study
2 conditions, 1 group did immediate recall, the other delayed recall after 30 secs ( interference task)
Found condition 1 remembered first and last few words the best (primacy/recency effect)
Condition 2 remembered last few words, yet both had trouble recalling from middle of the list - 4Further evidence for seperate stores in MSM from case studies?Clive Wearing - Viral encephalitis which developed anterograde amnesia which meant he could not form new memories. His STM can only hold info for 7-30 secs
Henry Molaison 1966 - Hippocampus removed to cure his severe epilepsy, memory prior to op was fine but now can't create new memories - 5Weaknesses of Multistore Model of memory by Atkinson & Shiffrin 1968- Overemphasis on role of rehearsel
- Too simplistic
- WMM argues STM is not a unitry store
- Unlikely different types of knowledge would be stored in same place
-HM's procedural memory is improving ( mirror tracing task)
- Passive one way model - 6—
