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

Water memory Water memory is the claimed ability of water to retain a "memory" of substances previously dissolved in it to arbitrary dilution. No scientific evidence supports this claim. Shaking the water at each stage of a serial dilution is claimed to be necessary for an effect to occur. The concept was proposed by Jacques Benveniste to explain the purported therapeutic powers of homeopathic remedies‚ which are prepared by diluting solutions to such a high degree that not even a single molecule

Working Memory When understanding many of these processes one can understand why short-term memory is better considered working memory. Baddeley and Hitch came up with a working memory model. This model consists of a phonological loop and a visuospatial scratchpad that is controlled by a central executive processor. There are other theories of working memory; most of which built off of this particular model the Baddeley-Hitch Model. Baddeley and Hitch basically explains how working memory performs

Short term memory often involves recent events over a period between 30 seconds to several days. According to the researcher George A. Miller‚ the typical storage capacity for short-term memory is seven plus or minus two items depending on each and every individual. There exist different
