couple of seconds if rehearsing this information is prevented. Lots of research has taken place in order to determine the capacity of short term memory. The most famous experiment, the influential paper titled “The magical Number Seven, plus or minus Two,” psychologist George Miller suggested that people can store between five and nine pieces of information on our short term memory. However, recent research suggests that we can’t store this much information, in fact we can only store 4 pieces of information

Describe and Evaluate the Multi-Store Model of Memory. Atkinson and Shiffrin proposed the Multi-store model of memory in 1968. The model had two distinct stores known as a Short-term store and a Long term store. The model also unravelled a stimulus from the environment known as the sensory register. The memory model elaborates three stages that take place from information passing to the sensory register then to the short-term memory and eventually stored in the long-term memory. The main features

Outline and Evaluate the Working Memory Model The working memory model (WM) explains why we can do two different tasks at the same time, but not two similar tasks. It replaced the idea of a unitary short term memory (STM) in the working memory model information is passed from STM to the central executive and this decides if the information is visual or auditory. Information is then passed to the corresponding store. The central executive is a key component of the WM. It directs information from

Memory, broadly speaking, refers to our ability to retain information. There are various types of memories that a person uses to retain information of his/her interest. Some on permanent basis and rest is on temporary basis. Long term memory which is also a knowledge base of the user stores the information on permanent basis whereas short term memory (STM) allows the person to retain items for a short period of time. As per the research, a typical adult’s memory span is approximately 7 (between 5

the episodic buffer. Baddeley & Hitch's argument for the distinction of two domain-specific slave systems in the older model was derived from experimental findings with dual-task paradigms. Performance of two simultaneous tasks requiring the use of two separate perceptual domains (i.e. a visual and a verbal task) is nearly as efficient as performance of the tasks individually. In contrast, when a person tries to carry out two tasks simultaneously that use the same perceptual domain, performance is

other three “slave systems” in the model. Below we have the other three components: The visuo-spatial sketchpad which stores data made up of visuals and spatial awareness within the two components of the visual cache and the inner scribe, the Phonological loop which deals with auditory information again consisting of two sections where one stores words we hear and the other allows maintenance rehearsal by repeating over and over (the phonological store and the articulatory process) and the final component

for those two properties. He wants to take a benefit of like-kind exchange, because under Internal Revenue Code (IRC), like-kind exchange can defer gain and loss from the transaction. Therefore, it may save some tax cost. However, those IRC defined this nontaxable like-kind exchange in an extremely narrow range. Conflicts of the recognition of like-kind properties often happen between taxpayer and the Tax Count. Therefore, it may hard for owner A to take this tax advantage of like-kind exchange.
