Multistore Model of Memory

What are the three main processes involved in memory?

• Encoding, storage, retrieval

• Learning, remembering, forgetting

• Sensation, perception, cognition

• Input, process, output

Which of the following is a type of declarative memory?

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Implicit memory

• Sensory memory

What does the Multi-store Model (MSM) of memory propose about memory processes?

• They are random and unpredictable

• They are sequential

• They are parallel

• They are intermittent

According to the Multi-store Model, what is the function of short-term memory (STM)?

• To store information permanently

• To serve as a gateway to long-term memory

• To process sensory information only

• To retrieve forgotten information

What is the duration of information stored in short-term memory (STM) without rehearsal?

• 6-18 seconds

• 1-3 minutes

• 1 hour

• Indefinitely

What is Miller's "Magic Number" for the capacity of STM?

• 3

• 5

• 7

• 9

Cowan (2010) argued that Miller's magic number might be overly optimistic. What did Cowan find the actual range to be?

• 3-5 digits

• 5-7 digits

• 7-9 digits

• 9-11 digits

Which part of the brain is associated with short-term memory capacity according to fMRI studies?

• Parietal cortex

• Frontal lobe

• Hippocampus

• Occipital lobe

The case study of HM provides evidence for what aspect of the MSM?

• The integration of sensory and short-term memory

• Separate stores for STM and LTM

• The role of rehearsal in STM

• The unlimited capacity of LTM

What effect describes the tendency to recall the first items in a list better than those in the middle?

• Recency effect

• Primacy effect

• Serial effect

• Interference effect
