Memory
The multi-store model of memory
- 4 things to know
- Paper 1
Overview
Memory as three stores in sequence, with the coding, capacity and duration of each, the two parts of the sensory register, and the rehearsal that moves information between stores.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.
Your recallNot started
Numbers
State the capacity and duration of short-term and long-term memory.
Key term
Name the two parts of the sensory register and their coding.
Evaluation
Why does the difference in coding support two separate memory stores?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are the three distinct stores proposed by the multi-store model of memory?
Model answer
The sensory register, then short-term memory, then long-term memory.
- 2
What is the function of the sensory register in the multi-store model?
Model answer
It holds information in its original sensory form for a very brief duration before it is either transferred to short-term memory or lost.
- 3
What would happen to information that does not receive attention in the sensory register?
Model answer
It would be lost and not transferred to short-term memory.
- 4
What is iconic memory?
Model answer
Iconic memory is the visual component of the sensory register, where visual information is stored in its original visual form.
- 5
What is echoic memory?
Model answer
Echoic memory is the auditory component of the sensory register, where auditory information is stored acoustically.
- 6
What does it mean that coding in the sensory register is modality-specific?
Model answer
Information is stored in the same form as it was received - visual information remains visual and auditory information remains acoustic.
