Question 1: What are the three main stores in the Multi-Store Model of memory?

Answer: Sensory register, Short-term memory, Long-term memory.

Question 2: Describe how information is transferred from the sensory register to the short-term memory.

Answer: Information is transferred when it is attended to or focused on consciously.

Question 3: Explain what is meant by 'rehearsal' in the context of short-term memory.

Answer: Rehearsal is the repetition of information to keep it in short-term memory or to encode it into long-term memory.

Question 4: Identify two factors that can cause forgetting in short-term memory according to the Multi-Store Model.

Answer: Interference and decay.

Question 5: Describe what happens in the long-term memory according to the Multi-Store Model.

Answer: Information is stored permanently and can be retrieved back into short-term memory when needed.

Question 6: Explain the difference between maintenance rehearsal and elaborative rehearsal.

Answer: Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating information to keep it in short-term memory, while elaborative rehearsal involves linking new information to existing knowledge to transfer it into long-term memory.

Question 7: What role does rehearsal play in the transfer of information from short-term to long-term memory?

Answer: Rehearsal helps consolidate information, making it more likely to be stored in long-term memory.

Question 8: Think of a scenario where someone is trying to remember a phone number. Describe how the Multi-Store Model explains this process.

Answer: The person hears the number and it enters the sensory register, then they consciously repeat it (rehearsal) to keep it in short-term memory. If rehearsed enough, the number is transferred into long-term memory for later retrieval.

Question 9: Draw a simple flowchart illustrating the stages of the Multi-Store Model of memory. Label each stage clearly.

Answer: A flowchart with three boxes labeled 'Sensory Register', 'Short-Term Memory', and 'Long-Term Memory', connected with arrows showing the flow of information. Include a note that information can be forgotten or transferred at each stage.

Question 10: Sketch a diagram of the sensory register, showing how it briefly holds incoming sensory information. Do not include images, just describe the key components.

Answer: A box labeled 'Sensory Register' with arrows pointing inward representing incoming sensory stimuli (e.g., visual, auditory), and an arrow pointing outward labeled 'Attention' indicating that only attended information moves to short-term memory.
