U3 AOS 2 Atkinson-Shiffrin Multi Store Model of Memory (7)

The multi-store model of memory....

• describes a flow of information through three separate memory stages in a fixed order.
• describes a flow of information through three separate memory stores in a fixed order.
• sees memory as a byproduct of processing.
• suggests that memory has 4 separate memory storages.

Which of the following provides the best definition for the sensory memory store? 

• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for a very brief time.
• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for up to 30 seconds.
• All short term memories are retained as exact copies for a very brief time.
• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for a potentially unlimited time

What is the capacity of sensory memory?

• A fraction of a second
• Up to 30 seconds
• Unlimited
• 7 + or - 2 bits of information

What is the duration of iconic memory?

• up to 30 seconds

• unlimited

• 7 + or - 2 bits of information

• 0.2 - 0.4 of a second

What happens to information in sensory memory that we DO NOT attend to?

• It is transferred to STM
• It remains in sensory memory
• It is lost 
• It is transferred back to sensory memory.

What is the capacity of Short Term Memory?

• 7 plus or minus 2 bits of information.
• unlimited
• 30 seconds
• 5 to 7 bits of information

According to the multi-store model, what is the duration of short term memories if they are not renewed in some way? 

• 7 plus or minus 2 bits of informaiton.
• unlimited
• a fraction of a second
• around 18-20 seconds

According to the multi-store model, what the capacity and duration of long-term memory?

• Relatively permanent capacity and unlimited duration.
• Semi permanent capacity and unlimited duration.
• Unlimited capacity and relatively permanent duration.
• Semi-permanent duration and unlimited capacity.

A more effective way to encode information into long-term memory.

• Episodic memory
• Maintenance rehearsal
  
• Elaborative rehearsal
• Using eidetic (photographic) memory

Memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and "declare" is known as  

• iconic memory
•  explicit memory
• echoic memory
•  implicit memory
