2 models might be different. - It helps deepen each other understanding.

- increase understanding complexity,

- both LTM and STM stores actively interact
- retrieval of information to add meaning
- But not multi-store model because its linear.

Working model memory:​​ Baddeley and Hitch (1968)

- Central executive : Drives the whole system
- Visuospatial sketchpad (inner eye): Stores and process information
- Phonological Loop: Phonological (inner voice) and Articulatory
control process (inner ear)
The verbal reasoning task made use of the central executive and the digit
span task made use of the phonological loop.
Multi store model memory :​​ Atkinson and shiffrin (1968) Consisted of 3
stores:
- a sensory register, (memory
store)
- short-term memory ()
- long-term memory ()

Similarities Differences

- models acknowledge the different types of
memory: sensory memory, STM, and
LTM, as separate stores as they try to
explain memory.
- models show encoding, storage, and
retrieval in their portrayal of the memory
systems.
- have different values for the different
aspects
- highlight similar features like attention,
which is represented in the multi-store
model as sensory memory and in the
working memory model as the central
executive
- rehearsal, represented in the multi-store
model to move information from STM to
LTM and in the working memory model as
the a part of the phonological loop
- But represented differently in their
respective models.
- both models encompass the same idea of
memory as an active process and similar
concepts regarding the process.
- Results: people remember shorter words
as there are less interference between the
two processes, low capacity
- Criticism: lab experiment, longer words
have less semantic meaning, consent:
D.C. 
- They represent the sequences of events
in the memory process differently.
- ​Multi-store model shows memory as a
linear sequence of events, as the
information passes through the different
stores to finally arrive at the LTM.
- Multi Store memory: focuses on the entire
model memory, structure (1968)
- Working memory model focuses
on the workings of STM (1979)
- Result: Showed that condition 3 had less
random digits: cannot attend to many
things at once
- Criticism: Low ecological validity, high
reliability, demand characteristics
- Multi-store-model: if not rehearsed the
information will decay.
- Working model: stores STM differently by
subsystems. - central executive to create
dynamic and interact with LTM. - Add
meaning semantic encoding and retrieval.
- Working model : focuses on complex
ideas of STM (Phonological loop and
visuospatial sketchpad)
- Multi store : explains the capacity
encoding and duration of sensory
memory, STM, and LTM
