Multiple Model of Memory
This memory store holds information for less than a second and comes directly from the senses.
Sensory memory
This type of long-term memory stores facts and general knowledge.
Semantic memory
This structure is critical for forming new explicit memories.
Hippocampus
This component directs attention and coordinates the other parts of working memory.
Central Executive
According to this model, memory depends on how deeply information is processed.
Levels of processing model
This process keeps information in short-term memory long enough for it to be transferred to long-term memory.
Rehearsal
This type of long-term memory stores personal experiences and events.
Episodic memory
This large outer layer of the brain is involved in storing long-term explicit memories.
Neocortex
This component processes spoken and written language.
Phonological loop
Processing based on meaning is known as this level of processing.
Deep processing
This store has a limited capacity of about 7±2 items and lasts roughly 18–30 seconds without rehearsal.
Short-term memory
This type of long-term memory involves skills such as riding a bike or playing an instrument.
Procedural memory
This structure gives emotional significance to memories, especially fear-related ones.
Amygdala
This component processes visual and spatial information.
Visuospatial Sketchpad
Processing based on appearance or sound is known as this.
Shallow processing
Sensory, short-term and long-term memory
This psychological effect occurs when exposure to one stimulus influences how we respond to another stimulus later.
This structure is most associated with forming implicit memories such as motor skills.
Cerebellum
This later-added component integrates information from different sources and links working memory with long-term memory.
Episodic buffer
One limitation of this model is that this concept is difficult to measure objectively.
Depth processing
This type of evidence supporting the multistore model comes from studies of brain-injured patients showing separate short- and long-term memory systems
Case Studies
In Pavlov’s experiment, this stimulus naturally caused dogs to salivate before any learning occurred.
Food
A limitation of linking memory to single brain structures is that memory processes are actually this, involving networks rather than isolated areas.
Interconnected
One limitation of the working memory model is that this component is difficult to define or measure experimentall
Central Executive
This type of experiment, where participants remember words processed in different ways, provided key evidence for the model.
