What does the Multi-Store Model of Memory attempt to explain?
The Multi-Store Model of Memory attempts to explain memory processes in terms of separate storage components and the flow of memory from one store to the next.
What is the sensory register?
The sensory register is where environmental stimuli are initially detected by the five senses.
True or False:
Sounds are encoded as iconic memory in the sensory register.
False. Sounds are encoded as echoic memory in the sensory register.
What is the capacity of short-term memory?
a) 5 items +/- 2
b) 7 items +/- 2
c) 9 items +/- 2
b) The capacity of short-term memory is 7 items +/- 2.
How is information transferred from short-term to long-term memory?
Information is transferred from short-term to long-term memory via rehearsal.
True or False:
Chunking can aid short-term memory.
True. Chunking is the process of grouping information into manageable units to improve recall in short-term memory.
What is the duration of long-term memory?
Long-term memory is a vast storage system for enduring memories with potentially limitless duration.
True or False:
Encoding in long-term memory is acoustic.
False. Encoding in long-term memory is semantic i.e. based on meaning.

a) lab experiments and case studies
b) observations and content analysis
c) correlational analysis and review articles
a) The multi-store model of memory has been supported by lab experiments and case studies.
