What is the difference between levels of processing and the multistore model of memory
Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) proposed a multi store model of memory whereby the memory process consists of three distinct components: the sensory store, short-term store and long-term store. Firstly, information enters into the sensory store via the sensory organs. The short-term store receives and temporarily stores input from the sensory store, as well as the long-term store. Information retained within the short-term store via maintenance rehearsal transfers to the long-term store where it remains indefinitely (Atkinson & Shiffrin 1968). Craik and Lockhart’s (1972) levels of processing model is a non-structured approach which states that memories occur as a consequence of the depth of processing of information. Shallow processing involves input of structural and phonetic information requiring maintenance rehearsal, which enables short-term retention. Deep processing involves elaboration rehearsal of semantic information leading to a more significant analysis of information, stronger memory traces and improved recall (Craik & Lockhart 1972). One difference between both models is that the multi-store model describes short and long-term memory as two independent stores, whereby information must pass through short-term memory in order to be stored in long-term memory. The levels of processing model makes no distinction between short and long-term memory, but describes varying levels of processing – the deeper the processing the easier it is to recall the information. A further difference between the two memory models is that according to the multi-store model, maintenance rehearsal only occurs within the short-term memory store; however, the levels of processing model maintains that two types of rehearsal occur throughout the levels of processing: maintenance rehearsal, which occurs during shallow processing, and elaboration rehearsal, which is involved in deeper processing.
