Multi store model of memory
Evaluation
LIMITATIONS
The model is oversimplified, in particular
when it suggests that both short-term and long-term
memory each
operate in a single, uniform fashion. We now know is this not the case.
strengths
Many of the studies
to do with this support
the evidence of STM &
LTM.
the model is
influential a it has
generated lots of
research into
memory.
hOW DOES IT WORK
Series of events
Information arrives at our senses
It is then held
in the sensory store
but only stays there
for a short period
of time and will
be lost if you
don't do somethng
with it.
Memory store
long term
unlimited
up to a lifetime
short-term
less than one minute
