Who proposed the multi-store model?
Glanzer and Cunitz
Atkinson and Shiffrin
Craik and Lockhart
What year did Atkinson and Shiffrin propose the MSM?
1966
1972
1968
1970
The MSM is made up of ________ stores?
2 - Short-term memory and Long-term memory
3 - Sensory memory, Short-term memory and Long-term memory
4 - Attention, Sensory memory, Short-term memory and Long-term memory
What is encoding?
The way information is changed into a form which can be stored, e.g. visual, acoustic, semantic.
The amount of time information is stored
The way information is lost and forgotten
Information is rehearsed in the STM and if rehearsed sufficiently it is transferred to LTM
What capacity does the short-term memory hold?
There is no limit
7 plus or minus 2
Just 7
5 plus or minus 2
Who stated that the short-term memory had a limited capacity of 7 plus or minus 2? and what year? (SELECT TWO ANSWERS)
Jacobs
Miller
1956
1887
Information in short-term memory is mainly stored in what form?
Visual
Acoustic
Haptic
Information in the short-term sensory store is stored in chunks of 7 plus or minus 2?
If there is too much information and it cannot be rehearsed the short-term sensory store still transfers it to the long-term memory?
Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) conducted a study in which they asked participants to recall a list of words. Half of the participants were required to recall the list of words immediately. What did their results show?
All participants only remembered 7 words
Individuals tended to forget most of the words on the list apart from the last words, as short-term memory has limited duration
Participants tended to remember the first few and last few words and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list
Participants tended to remember the words in the middle of the list and forget the words at the beginning and end of the list
In Glazer and Cunitz's (1966) study half of the participants were asked to conduct a task before recalling the list of words. Results found that the participants who had to carry out a task before recalling the list tended to forget the words at the end of the list, but still remember the words at the start of the list. Does this support the MSM?
Yes
No
Encoding is mainly semantic (meaning based) in the long-term memory store.
According to the MSM the long-term memory store has a limited capacity and duration
Forgetting in long-term memory occurs in the retrieval stage not the processing stage
Each store within the MSM differs in terms of what?
Duration - how long the information is stored
Capacity - how much information is stored
Encoding - the form of information (eg. visual).
