Multi-store model Proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin, it explains how our memory processes information
Sensory store Receives information from the senses, remains in the store for a brief period. If focused on, the information transfers to the STM
Short term memory Information disappears quickly if not rehearsed. Capacity = 7(+-2) chunks. Duration = 18-30 seconds.
Long term memory Information travels here from STM with rehearsal, the capacity and duration is unlimited
Semantic memory For knowledge about words and the world, gives meaning to words
Episodic memory What has happened recently such as what you had for dinner yesterday
Procedural memory Memory of activities such as riding a bike or learning to read
Serial position effect Explains that people recall words at the start of a list because it is stored in the LTM (primacy effect), and words at the end because they are still in STM (recency effect)
