MSM LIMITATIONS AO2
- Psychologists say that it has
''outlived its usefulness''
- E.G. Baddley & Hitch's WMM suggests
there is more than one store to STM
- Implies that STM is too
simplistic
- Many studies have shown that there is more
than one type of LTM (episodic, motor,
procedural, prospective) stored in different
areas of the brain
- E.G. H.M. was incapable of making new
episodic memories but could learn
motor skills
- Brenda Miller showed he could learn to
do a mirror drawing & improved it
everytime-even if he had no memory of
the learning episode
- Not accounted in MSM - supports the idea
that it is too simplistic (LTM is more
complex than MSM suggests)
- MSM describes only
one way to retrieve info
from STM to LTM
(Rehearsal)
- ppl can remember things without even
rehearsing it - may be funny/sad - Craik &
Lockhart found that semantic processing
improves your memory recall than repetition
- More than one way in which info can be transferred from STM
to LTM
