What is one main limitation of the multi store model of memory?
Limitations of the MSM The model is over-simplified. It assumes that each of the stores works as an independent unit. The model does not explain memory distortion. The model does not explain why some things may be learned with a minimal amount of rehearsal.
Why does HM support MSM?
The study of HM supports the model because it shows that the long term and short term memories are two distinct stores. After having his hippocampus accidently removed due to surgery for epilepsy, his short term memory remained intact.
What was criticized about the Atkinson-shiffrin three stage model of memory?
The model has been criticised as being too rigid, linear and ignoring the different types of presented memories and has indeed been supplanted by other models and more recently dynamic descriptions of memory that rely less on information processing models.
What was criticized about the Atkinson shiffrin three stage model of memory?
How does HM support and challenge the MSM?
What are the weaknesses of the multi store model of memory?
One weakness of the multi-store model of memory is that is too simplistic to explain the memory system. It fails to consider how people use strategies to remember. A second weakness of the model is that it only focuses on the process.
What are the strengths of the multistore model?
Strengths One strength of the multistore model is that is gives us a good understanding of the structure and process of the STM. This is good because this allows researchers to expand on this model. This means researchers can do experiments to improve on this model and make it more valid and they can prove what the stores actually do.
Which is a case study of the multi store model?
Clive Wearing is a case study that demonstrates the multi-store model of memory. Clive has an impaired Short term memory this is shown as he has a poor duration in STM of only 7 seconds.
Who is the creator of the multistore memory model?
Saul McLeod, published 2007. The multistore model of memory (also known as the modal model) was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) and is a structural model. They proposed that memory consisted of three stores: a sensory register, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM).
