The Multi-Store Model

What does declarative memory primarily consist of?

• Skills and procedures

• Facts and events that can be consciously recalled

• General knowledge not linked to time and place

• Unconscious memory of skills

Which type of memory is NOT linked to time and place?

• Episodic memory

• Procedural memory

• Semantic memory

• Declarative memory

According to the multi-store model, what is the role of short-term memory (STM)?

• It stores memories permanently

• It acts as a gateway for transferring information to long-term memory

• It contains general knowledge of facts and people

• It is responsible for the unconscious memory of skills

What is procedural memory associated with?

• Conscious recall of facts

• Memory of specific events

• Unconscious memory of skills and how to do things

• Storage of general knowledge

What is a key process necessary to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory according to the multi-store model?

• Retrieval

• Rehearsal

• Sensory input

• Attention

What is the duration that information may stay in short-term memory (STM) without rehearsal, as traditionally assumed?

• About 6-18 seconds

• Up to 30 seconds

• About 1 minute

• Less than 5 seconds

Miller's Magic Number 7 suggests the average memory span is between how many items?

• 5 and 9 items

• 7 and 10 items

• 3 and 5 items

• 8 and 12 items

What does the case study of HM illustrate about memory storage?

• HM could not form any new memories after his surgery.

• HM had anterograde amnesia but could still access many of his old memories.

• HM completely lost access to both new and old memories.

• HM's procedural memory was impaired after the surgery.

According to Glanzer and Cunitz (1966), what is the primary effect?

• The ability to recall words from the beginning of a list due to long-term memory transfer.

• The interference caused by words recalled later in the list.

• The improved recall of words that have just been spoken.

• The difficulty in recalling words due to sensory overload.

What is a major criticism of the multi-store model of memory as discussed in the text?

• It accurately reflects the complexity of human memory.

• It is considered too simplistic and does not account for the integration of past experiences.

• It overemphasizes the role of short-term memory.

• It fully explains why some memories are vivid despite minimal rehearsal.
