• It accurately represents all types of memory

• It includes the working memory model

• It accounts for all brain functions

What evidence supports the idea of separate short and long term memory stores?

• Brain scan research

• Case studies on brain damaged patients

• Lab based memory studies on capacity, duration, and encoding
