What is the multi store model an example of?
The multi-store model is an explanation of memory proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin which assumes there are three unitary (separate) memory stores, and that information is transferred between these stores in a linear sequence.
How does Clive Wearing go against multi store model?
In conclusion, the case study of Clive Wearing provides evidence for the multi store model, because it shows that Clive Wearing can remember long term but cannot remember short term. This means that he has lost his short term memory leaving him with only long term memory from his childhood.
What did the HM case study demonstrate about procedural memories?
H.M.’s experience indicated that a single system did not constitute the entirety of memory. Subsequent research conducted on amnesic patients revealed that this ability to learn and perform certain activities extended beyond motor skills (such as mirror drawing), and included cognitive tasks as well.
Why is Wmm better than MSM?
The model is very influential and psychologists use the WMM in place of ‘STM’ in the MSM. It is better than the MSM because it looks more at processes. It gives more than 1 way of transferring information (not just rehearsal). A lot of research backs the model up in place of what the MSM can’t explain.
How does Clive Wearing support the MSM?
Support for the MSM comes from the case study of Clive Wearing, who contracted a virus that caused severe amnesia (memory loss). Following the virus, Wearing could only remember information for 20‐ 30 seconds; however, he was able to recall information from his past, for example his wife’s name.
Does KF support MSM?
(2) Point: Case studies of brain damaged patients (e.g. KF) have also offered support for the Multi-Store Model of memory. Evidence: Shallice and Warrington (1970), reported the case of KF, who was brain damaged as a result of a motorcycle accident. His STM was severely impaired, however his LTM remained intact.
Why was HM important to our study and understanding of memory?
The findings from H.M. established the fundamental principle that memory is a distinct cerebral function, separable from other perceptual and cognitive abilities, and identified the medial aspect of the temporal lobe as important for memory.
