a)
Scoville and Milner's Case Study of HM
b)
Sperling
c)
Atkinson and Shiffrin
17.
Which of the following is NOT a strength of the MSM?
a)
There is clinical and empirical evidence to support the existence of different sections of memory. I.e.., STM, LTM and sensory memory.
b)
The multi-store model sparked research at the time and it has been one of the most influential models to date. It served as a basis for the development of other models of memory.
c)
There is clinical evidence to support the idea that there are separate memory stores.

The model distinguishes between different types of Long-Term Memories.
18.
Which of the following is NOT a limitation of the Multi-Store Model of Memory?
a)
There is no research study to support the study as a whole.

The multi-store model proposes just one long-term memory store, rather than separate types of long-term memory. The Case Study of HM highlights this point.

There is no research evidence to support the idea that STM and LTM are separate memory storage systems.
d)
The theory is not falsifiable (in that we cannot see memory).

should be viewed as separate structures, rather than a process. Memory is a byproduct of processing.

should be viewed as a process rather than as separate structures. Memory is a byproduct of processing.

According to the Levels of Processing Theory, if we want to remember something long term we should.....

repeat it as many times as possible.

move it to our Long Term Memory.

we should focus on the structure of the word.

Which of the following is NOT a strength of The Levels of Processing Theory?

There are multiple empirical research studies that support the theory.
b)
It was the first theory to show that memory is improved when we undertake deep processing.
c)
It is falsifiable
30.
Which of the following is NOT a limitation of the Levels of Processing Model of memory?
a)
There is no clear definition for the terms deep and shallow processing. And the theory does not explain why they lead to better recall.

the model ignores the possibility of separate short term and long term memory structures (even though HM suggests that there are separate structures).
c)
There is no research study that supports the theory in full.
d)
Deeper processing takes more effort than shallow processing and it could be this, rather than the depth of processing that makes it more likely people will remember something.
