The multi-store model of memory

The multi-store model of memory makes a distinction between the separate stores of memory. These include:

• The sensory register

• The visuo-spatial sketchpad

• The phonological loop

• Short-term memory

• Long-term memory

The multi-store model of memory is an example of:

• A theoretical model

• A computer model

The MSM of memory describes how information passes through memory stores in a L________ way.

The ____________ __________ refers to the first and most immediate form of memory we have.

Sensory information must be __________ for it to transfer from the sensory register to short-term memory.

• Paid attention to

• Rehearsed

• Recalled

Which of the following are appropriate descriptions of short-term memory according to the MSM?

• It is holds a small amount of information

• It holds information in an active and readily available state

• It is the information we are consciously thinking about

• Information is retained in short-term memory through elaborative rehearsal

• Holds memories indefinitely

____________ rehearsal involves repeating information over and over again. This helps to keep it in short-term memory but can also help transfer it to long-term memory of rehearsed enough.

________-________ memory holds information indefinitely.

Information in LTM can be brought back into STM through:

• Retrieval

• Maintenance rehearsal

• Elaborative rehearsal

• The rehearsal loop

________ refers to the way in which information is stored in memory.
