weaknesses phyc

a weakness of the multi store model is its

• not enough research has been done about it

• focus on repetition for remembering information

• only got 3 stores and the brain is more complex

• focus on just the 3 stores

a weakness of the multi store memory is its focus on repetition for remembering information and its

• inability to explain why people struggle to recall info that has been rehearsed

• inability to explain why people can remember more than 7 items

• inability to explain why people with learning diffficulties cant remember

• inability to explain why people can remember only 2 items

weaknesses of the model include the inability to explain why information that has been heavily rehearsed is difficult to

• remember

• bring up from semantic memory

• recall or appears to be forgotton

• recall and has decayed

think about preparing or revising for an exam, you might heavily rehearse, but a question comes up in the exam and you could

• fail to recall the information

• pass out

• fail to write the answer down

• fail to do the working out

this model does

• nothing to help that idea

• explain that this happens to us

• explain that we have to rehearse to remember things

• not explain why this happens to us

why could this happen to us, when we heavily rehearse and then when the exam comes up, then we can not recall

• boredom

• not interested

• tiredness

• stress may have an impact on recall

stress may have an impact on recall but the multi store model

• includes this information through decay

• doesnt need to include it because its expected that stress can lead to not being able to recall

• does not include this information

• has accidentaly missed it out

likewise you may look at something once and

• and remember and recall it

• can be passed to LTM

• can be passed to sensory

• remember for 18 seconds

yet the multi store memory focuses on

• sensory

• rehearsal

• the 3 stores

• repetition

yet the multi store model focuses on repetition as a key factor in the

• ability to process information

• ability to re learn information

• ability to recall information

• ability to pass through the stores
