The Multi-Store Memory Model

About the lecture

In this lecture, we think about the multi-store model of memory as developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968, focusing in particular on: (i) tracing the model’s origins back to Broadbent’s research in the field of attention; (ii) the three components of the multi-store memory model, including the sensory store, short-term memory and long-term memory; (iii) the capacity and function of each store; (iv) Miller’s research on the capacity of short-term memory.
