    Study Notes

    Short-Term Memory (STM)

    • The approximate capacity of STM is 7 items, as found by Miller's study.

    Study on STM Duration and Rehearsal

    • The study by Peterson and Peterson (1959) provides evidence for the STM duration and the role of rehearsal in memory.

    Alternative Model of Memory

    • The Working Memory Model is an alternative model that explains short-term memory in more depth.

    Phonological Loop

    • The Phonological loop in the Working Memory Model deals with the verbal, speech-based information.

    Separation of STM and LTM

    • The idea that STM and LTM are separate stores is supported by the fact that information in STM is lost quickly if not rehearsed.

    Multi-Store Model of Memory

    • The three main memory stores in the multi-store model of memory are Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory (STM), and Long-Term Memory (LTM).

    Process of Information Transfer

    • The process of information moving from Sensory Memory to Short-Term Memory is called consolidation.

    Encoding of Information

    • The three main ways in which information can be encoded are visually, acoustically, and semantically.

    Capacity in Memory

    • Capacity refers to the limited amount of information that can be held in memory.

    Elaborative Rehearsal

    • When information is given meaning through elaborative rehearsal, it is passed on to Long-Term Memory.

    Strengths and Weaknesses of the Multi-Store Model

    • The strengths of the Multi-Store Model (MSM) of memory include its ability to explain many memory phenomena and its simplicity.
    • The weakness of some research into short-term memory (STM) duration is that it is often based on artificial tasks and may not reflect real-life situations.

    Primacy-Recency Effect

    • The primacy-recency effect in relation to memory refers to the phenomenon where people tend to remember the first and last items in a list better than the items in the middle.

    Working Memory Model

    • According to the Working Memory Model, the role of the Phonological loop is to deal with verbal, speech-based information.
