Who proposed the multi-store model of memory?
The multi-store model of memory was proposed by Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968-1971).
Which component of the multi-store model of memory processes all sense-based information from the environment?
The sensory register is where all sensory information from the environment is processed.
Sensory information is held within the sensory register for a duration of:
a) 3-5 seconds
b) 1-2 seconds
c) milliseconds
c.
Sensory information is held within the sensory register for milliseconds, i.e. it has a limited duration.

Coding in short-term memory is:
a) semantic
b) procedural
c) episodic
d) acoustic
d.
Coding in short-term memory is acoustic.
Miller's 'magic number 7' refers to the of short-term memory.
Miller's 'magic number 7' refers to the capacity of short-term memory.
Short-term memory can hold 7 items + or - 2.
If information in short-term memory is not rehearsed what happens to it?
If information in short-term memory is not rehearsed, it cannot pass into long-term memory, i.e. it is displaced/forgotten.
Coding in long-term memory is:
a) semantic
b) procedural
c) episodic
d) acoustic
a.
Coding in long-term memory is semantic.
Some long-term memories may be unavailable, i.e., resistant to .
Some long-term memories may be unavailable, i.e., resistant to retrieval.
True or False?
One strength of the multi-store model of memory is that it is supported by case studies of brain-damaged patients.
True.
The case study of HM could remember events and some information and details from before the removal of his hippocampus but could not form new memories.
One limitation of the multi-store model of memory is that it may be:
a) too complicated
b) too simplistic
c) gender biased
b.
One limitation of the multi-store model of memory is that it may be too simplistic.
Research suggests that short-term memory and long-term memory are made up of more than one store.
Much of the research into the multi-store model of memory involves participants undertaking artificial tasks, which means it is low in:
a) reliability
b) falsifiability
c) ecological validity
c.
