retrieval. It does not help to understand nor
explain how even visual information would
have to be stored acoustically in the STM.
Focuses on the structure of the model Since it pays more attention to the structure
of the model, it does not explain the
processes involved in it. For instance, it
does not explain how letters are encoded in
the STM to be accessed later.
Distinguishes between STM and LTM in This provides a clear distinction between
terms of encoding, capacity and duration the two memory stores. Miller (1957) did a
study on the capacity of STM, and found
out that STM can hold a capacity of about 7
items comfortably, but cannot go above 9
items.
States that things are remembered only This is inaccurate as some things can be
when they are rehearsed. remembered because they are more
interesting, funnier or more distinctive. This
suggests that the MSM is incomplete.

showed that participants were able to
remember more words from the beginning
or end of the list rather than the ones in the
middle, showing the primacy/recency effect.
