EvaluationA strength of the multi-store model of memory is that it has supporting evidence from the case studies of HM and KF. HM lost the ability to form new long term memories after he had his corpus collosum severed as treatment for severe epilepsy, his short term memory was still intact, and KF damaged his short term memory store in a motor bicycle accident, it was limited, but his long-term memory store was normal. These case studies provide evidence for the multi-store model of memory as it proves than the long-term store and the short term stores are separate but unitary as one can be damaged whilst the other is still intact and perfectly working. A weakness of this model however, is that it oversimplifies the stores of memory. The model assumes that there is only one long-term store and one short-term one. This has been disproved by the working memory model as it assumes three stores for the long-term store as well as evidence from brain damaged patients suggesting different stores for the long term memory, so weakening the multi-store model of memory. |
