1. Multi-store model

   • STM
   • ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI
     • ATTENTION
       • SENSORY
         • STM
           • Duration: 18-20 Capacity 7+-2 items encoding: accoustic
           • Maintnence rehersal
             • LTM
               • duration: Unlimited Capacity: Unlimited Encoding: semantic
               • retrieval
   • unitary stores
   • forgetting is different for each store
   • Strengths
     • recency effect supports
       • Participents recalled those at the begining of the list better because they count accoustically rehearse
     • HM has lost long term but STM is still in tact
   • Weaknesses
     • The WMM proves that MSM is over simplified as there are sub compartments in LTM
     • Different types of LTM have been discovered ie. episodic, samantic etc
     • maintnence rehersal helps but does not take into account flash bulb memory

2. Working memory model

   • central executive
     • decides how attention is directed
     • Episodic buffer
       • Accounts for when two or more things happen at the same time
         • limited capacity
       • phonological loop
         • Auditory storey : Holds speech 1-2 seconds
           • articulatory process: rehersal takes place through written words being converted sub-vocally ie. Reading
         • Visuo- spatial sketchpad
           • processes visual infomation. The relationship between things
