The Multi store model-(Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968)Describe the multi store model The multi store model consists of _____unitary, separatestores; ________register, _______term, and long term. Information flows through these stores in a one way, ______flow. Informationfrom the environment,for example the sound of someone’s name, will pass into the sensoryregister along with lots of other sights, sounds, smells and so on. The store has ______stores (one for each of our senses) and the two main stores are ________(sound or auditory information so encoded_________) and iconic (visual information so encoded_________). Material in the sensory store only lasts very briefly (less than half a_________) but has a high capacity. Very little information from the sensory store passes into STM, it only passes through if we pay _________to it. So the key process here is________. The capacity of STM is limited (________) so once in STM if informationis rehearsed it will be kept in STM, if notit will be lost from STM(within about 15-30 seconds according to______________). Information is usually encoded ______________at this stage. Simply repeating information over and over again in our heads is called ____________rehearsal. If we rehearse the information for long enough it will pass to LTM and remain for a life time although loss is possible. Capacity is ____________and information can last for a very long time.

ANSWERDescribe the multi store model The multi store model consists of three unitary, separatestores; sensoryregister, shortterm, and long term. Information flows through these stores in a one way, linearflow. Informationfrom the environment,for example the sound of someone’s name, will pass into the sensoryregister along with lots of other sights, sounds, smells and so on. The store has fivestores (one for each of our senses) and the two main stores are echoic(sound or auditory information so encoded acoustically) and iconic (visual information so encoded visually). Material in the sensory store only lasts very briefly (less than half a second) but has a high capacity. Very little information from the sensory store passes into STM, it only passes through if we pay attentionto it. So the key process here is attention. The capacity of STM is limited (7 items)so once in STM if informationis rehearsed it will be kept in STM, if notit will be lost fromSTM (within about 15-30seconds according to Peterson and Peterson). Information is usually encoded acousticallyat this stage. Simply repeating information over and over again in our heads is called maintenancerehearsal. If we rehearse the information for long enough it will pass to LTM and remain for a life time although loss is possible. Encoding here is semantic, and the capacity is unlimitedand information can last for a very long time. Although the information is stored in LTM when we want to recall it it has to be transferred back to STM by a process called retrieval.maintenanceattentionx2 sensoryx2 unlimited short echoic visually 7 items Peterson and Peterson five acousticallyx2 semantic retrieval threelinearseconds
