What are the three main stores in the Multi-Store Memory Model?
STM, Procedural, Episodic
Sensory, Short-term, Long-term
Iconic, Echoic, Semantic
Attention, Encoding, Retrieval
What is the duration of the sensory store?
Around 1 minute
Around 30 seconds
A few seconds
A few minutes
Which process moves information from sensory memory to short-term memory?
Encoding
Attention
Rehearsal
Retrieval
Which type of encoding is most common in short-term memory?
Visual
Acoustic
Semantic
Procedural
What is the capacity of short-term memory, according to Miller (1956)?
4±1 items
7±2 items
10±3 items
Unlimited
How long can short-term memory typically hold information without rehearsal?
10–15 seconds
15–30 seconds
1–2 minutes
5–10 seconds
What process maintains information in STM?
Elaboration
Maintenance rehearsal
Retrieval
Chunking
When information is given meaning, what type of rehearsal takes place?
Maintenance rehearsal
Elaborative rehearsal
Auditory rehearsal
Visual rehearsal
In long-term memory, information is usually encoded:
Visually
Acoustically
Semantically
Procedurally
Which term describes forgetting due to new information replacing old information?
Decay
Interference
Retrieval failure
Encoding failure
Which researcher found that STM has a short duration when rehearsal is prevented?
Sperling
Peterson & Peterson
Glanzer & Cunitz
Bahrick
Who showed that the sensory store has a large capacity but short duration?
Miller
Bahrick
Sperling
Milner
Bahrick et al. (1975) studied which aspect of long-term memory?
Capacity
Duration
Encoding
Process
Glanzer & Cunitz (1966) found a serial position effect because:
Participants remembered middle words best
STM and LTM are separate stores
Rehearsal improves all memory equally
Long-term memory decays quickly
What term describes how information moves from one store to another?
Storage
Encoding
Rehearsal
Decay
What happens to information in STM that is not rehearsed?
It is permanently stored
It transfers to LTM
It decays or is displaced
It becomes procedural
Which statement best describes the structure of the MSM?
A loop between LTM and STM
A single store with unlimited capacity
Three stores in a linear system
Two independent sensory channels
What is the main weakness of the MSM according to later research?
It ignores the role of attention
It oversimplifies STM and LTM
It focuses too much on rehearsal
It cannot be tested experimentally
Which psychological process is attention an example of?
Structure
Process
Bias
Retrieval
Which of the following correctly matches store and evidence?
STM → Bahrick et al.
Sensory memory → Sperling
LTM → Peterson & Peterson
STM → Glanzer & Cunitz
