Out line and evaluate the Multi-store Model of Memory The multi-store model of memory was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in1968. The model consists of three separate stores – the sensory store‚ the short term memory and the long term memory. Information enters via our senses (sight‚ smell‚ sounds‚ taste and touch) into the sensory store. We pay attention to some of the things that enter our sensory store‚ these things them move on into our short term memory. Whatever is stored in the short

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 experiment

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

“To what extent does the multi-store model offer a reasonable account of human memory?” (12 Marks) The most influential multi-store model (or MSM) was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. They found out that memory is divided into a series of stages. At each stage‚ the information is passed from one to another and is constraints in terms of capacity‚ duration and encoding. The first part of the MSM is the sensory memory. According to Baddeley‚ the sensory memory holds information for a

Describe and evaluate the multi store memory model Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968 suggested that memory was comprised of three separate stores - the Sensory Memory store‚ the Short-term Memory store‚ and the Long-term Memory store. Information from all around us enters the through the sensory memory and encoded through one of the 5 senses depending on the type of information. If attention is paid to this information it will enter short term memory which has a limited capacity of about 4 chunks of

All the information is said to pass through each stage in a fixed sequence. There are limitations of capacity and duration at each individual stage. A study which supports that the stores are distinct is Murdoch (1962) He did a lab experiment

Memory is the storing and remembering‚ or retrieval‚ of information in the brain. When we are given a stimulus‚ the information we take in through our senses‚ it is encoded‚ then stored appropriately to be retrieved when needed. This essay will first describe what the multi-store model of memory is and how it works‚ then evaluate the theory by making comparisons with other models of memory‚ and showing its strengths and weaknesses by applying it to real life situations. The essay will continue

Outline and evaluate the multi store model of memory (12 marks) The multi store model is made up of three different stores – the sensory store‚ short term store and long term store. It is an explanation of how memory processes (attention and rehearsal) function. The multi store model was described by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin in 1968. The first store is the sensory store. It is composed of many different stores such as the eyes‚ nose‚ tongue‚ fingers etc. and the consistent sections

Describe and Evaluate the Multi-Store Model of Memory (12 Marks) The Multi-Store Model explains how memory works through three stages in a fixed‚ linear sequence. Information is first detected from environmental stimuli and stored in the sensory memory as haptic‚ echoic or visual information. Only certain information can only be paid attention to‚ as the capacity and duration of the sensory memory is very limited. This information is then passed onto the STM. Only 7 + - 2 items can only be stored
