What compartments of the sensory register are there?
Iconic store (coded visually)
Echoic store (coded acoustically)
Other sensory stores
What is the capacity of Short Term Memory in the Multi-Store Model?
7 plus or minus 2
What is the capacity of the sensory register in the multi-store model?
Huge. There are millions of receptors
What is the duration of the Long-term memory store in the MSM?
Very long. Studies suggested multiple decades
What is the duration of the Short-term memory store in the MSM?
30 seconds
What is the capacity of Long-term memory in the MSM?
Unlimited
What is the duration of the Sensory Register?
Less than half a second.
How is long-term memory coded in the MSM?
Semantically
How is Short-term memory transferred to Long-term memory in the MSM?
Prolonged rehearsal
What is maintenance rehearsal?
Repeating information. It really keeps it in the short term memory store
What research evidence supports the MSM as an explanation for memory?
Baddeley et al. He found that we tend to mix up words that sound similar when using our STM, but we mix up words that have similar meanings when we use our LTM. Showing that they are coded differently and are thus different stores.
