Strengths
- Many other researchers have undertaken experiments backing this model up
- This model can be seen in everyday life
- It has been expanded upon with the working memory model
Limitations
- As it was the first model for memory it is quite simplistic
- Shows STM and LTM as separate systems
This model was later expanded upon with the working memory model which is comprised of the:
- Phonological Loop
- Episodic Buffer
- Visuospacial Sketchpad
Models of Memory
Strengths
Pamoja Psychology 14.3
- The first model of memory
- A catalyst for research surrounding information processing
- Based on two assumptions: 1. memory is made up of numerous different stores, 2. memory processes are sequential
Limitations
Multi Store
Levels of Processing
Atkinson- Shiffrin (1968)
Craik and Lockheart (1972)
- Focuses on LTM
- States that rehearsal is a large reason behind long term memories
- Say that information can be processed at Shallow, Deeper and Deepest level
- 'The deeper the level, the stronger and more durable the memory'
