essay is going to look at how the Multi Store Model of Memory works and how it compares with The Working Memory Model. It will also look at three theories of forgetting (Cue Dependent‚ Interference and Trace Decay) and show the evidence that supports or criticises the models and theories. The Multi Store Model of Memory (Atkinson and Shiffrin‚ 1968) describes memory as a flowing through system in terms of information. The multi store model of memory itself has its fair share of strengths and weaknesses

The working memory model is the dominant and influential theory of memory designed to actively store information and refer to ideas that are thought of‚ or made available to the mind. Information can be manipulated when it is required during thinking‚ mental tasks‚ solving a problem or reasoning tasks (Cowan 2007). Working memory is important

Psychology "Outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory" (12 marks) The multi-store model of memory‚ was first described by Atkinson and Shiffrin(1968)‚ and suggested that memory consisted of three seperate stores‚ the sensory memory store‚ the short-term memory (STM) store and the long-term memory (LTM) store.They also presented a diagram to represent this and according to this model‚ memory is portrayed as a flow of information through a system of fixed stages‚ beginnging with

Multi store model of memory The idea of a multi store memory was discovered by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968 and argues that memory can be divided into three separate structures; (commonly referred to as stores) sensory memory‚ short term memory and long term memory. Information from the environment first enters the sensory memory also known as (sensory store) encoded through one of the five senses depending on the type of information. It remains in the sensory memory for duration of 2 seconds

The Working memory model‚ proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 has great significance as it developed the multi-store model of Atkinson and Shiffrin which proposed that information was stored in specific locations; the short-term store‚ long-term store and the sensory store‚ along with suggesting the new idea of central executive and its slave systems. The Central executive is the element which is involved in a higher mental process such as decision making‚ as it can co-ordinate performances

Working Memory Introduction Human memory is a complex cognitive structure‚ which can be defined in many ways. One would argue that memory is 1.) The mental function of retaining information about stimuli‚ event‚ images‚ ideas‚ etc. after the original stimuli is no longer present. 2.) The hypothesized storage system in the mind that holds this information is so retained. A clear distinction is made between different types of memory systems and can be divided into subclasses. The first model of

Psychology Outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory (12 marks) There are three parts of the multi-store model of memory; sensory memory‚ short-term store and long-term store. The model was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. The proposed that information enters the system from the environment and first registers on the sensory memory store where it stays for a brief period of time before either decaying or passing onto the short term memory store. Sperling (1960) did a sensory store

Describe and Evaluate the Working Memory Model - 12 Marks The working memory model is a model which specifically defines the short term memory. It is made up of three sections: the central executive‚ visuo-spacial sketchpad and phonological loop. The central executive is the ’boss’ of the three and this section of the system is the part that makes it possible for humans to multitask. It does this by allocating attention to different parts of the system. These are its slave systems. The capacity
