1. Analysis & Evaluation
1.1. Next level topic
2. The MSM
2.1. What is the MSM?
2.1.1. - Multi store model of memory - Structural and linear - Shows how the different parts of the memory stores information How information is transferred from one section to another
2.2. Who developed the MSM?
2.2.1. Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin - 1968
2.3. What is the MSM made up of?
2.3.1. - Sensory register - Short-term memory - Long-term memory
2.4. What is the capacity?
2.4.1. The amount (items) of information that can be stored
2.5. What does coding mean?
2.5.1. The form in which information is stored
2.6. What does duration mean?
2.6.1. The length of time information can be stored
3. K+U
3.1. Stores
3.1.1. Sensory register
3.1.1.1. A place that holds information gathered through your senses for a very short amount of time, percieving information before it is stored or processed by any other memory store.
3.1.1.2. Capacity = Unlimited
3.1.1.3. Duration = 250 milliseconds
3.1.1.4. Coding = Constantly recieving information from senses, which are stored using mechanism of attention to selct relevant sensory information and discarding the rest (modality specific).
3.1.1.5. Info transferred by = Attention - first step in remebering something, attention focused on one of sensory stores then data is transferred to STM.
3.1.1.6. How does the sensory register code information?
3.1.1.6.1. Modality specific (information stored as it is)
3.1.1.7. What is the duration of the sensory register?
3.1.1.7.1. 250 milliseconds
3.1.1.8. What is the capacity of the sensory register?
3.1.1.8.1. Unlimited
3.1.1.9. How does information pass from the sensory register to the STM?
3.1.1.9.1. Attention (attention focused on one of the sensory stores)
3.1.2. STM
3.1.2.1. Capacity = 5-9 items
3.1.2.2. A type of memory store lasting about 30 seconds that can hold 5-9 pieces of information. Information from here can be moved into long-term memory via rehearsal.
3.1.2.3. Duration = 15 to 30 seconds
3.1.2.4. Info transferred by = Maintenance rehearsal - if this occurs long enough, information can be passed into the LTM
3.1.2.5. How does the STM code information?
3.1.2.5.1. Acoustic (by the way it sounds)
3.1.2.6. What is the duration of the STM?
3.1.2.6.1. 18-30 seconds
3.1.2.7. What is the capacity of the STM?
3.1.2.7.1. 5-9 items (7+/-2)
3.1.2.8. How does information
3.1.3. LTM
3.1.3.1. Duration = Up to a lifetime
3.1.3.2. Coding = Primarily acoustic, translates visual information into sounds
3.1.3.3. Capacity = Potentially nlimited
3.1.3.4. Info transferred by =
3.1.3.5. A type of memory storage that has potentially unlimited storage, in which we hold different kinds of memories for potentially unlimited time.
