Multi store Memory Model (MSM)

Who developed the Multi-Store Model of Memory (MSM)?

• Baddeley and Hitch

• Atkinson and Shiffrin

• Tulving and Peterson

• Miller and Bahrick

According to the MSM, memory consists of three unitary stores. Which of the following is not one of them?

• Sensory Register

• Short-Term Memory

• Working Memory

• Long-Term Memory

Reorder the following to go in order for the multistore memory model

• LTM

• Sensory register

• STM

In the MSM, information passes from the sensory register to the short-term memory when:

• It is rehearsed repeatedly

• Attention is paid to it

• It is encoded semantically

• It is chunked into groups

What is required for information to move from STM to LTM according to the MSM?

• Retrieval

• Chunking

• Rehearsal

• Displacement

According to Miller what is the capacity of the short-term memory (STM)?

• Unlimited

• 7 ± 2 items

• 4 ± 1 items

• 30 ± 2 items

What is the duration of the short-term memory according to Peterson & Peterson (1959)?

• 1–2 seconds

• 18–30 seconds

• 1–2 minutes

• A few hours

How is information mainly encoded in STM

• Visually

• Semantically

• Acoustically

• Tactilely

What is the duration of information in the sensory register?

• About ¼ to ½ a second

• 10 seconds

• 1 minute

• Several hours

Which of the following best describes LTM encoding

• Visual

• Acoustic

• Semantic

• Olfactory
