What are the strengths and weaknesses of the multi-store model of memory by Atkinson and Shiffrin?

Answer 1

Weakness: Doesn't show causation
Strength: Primary recency effect

Explanation:

Weakness: It show us what happens in every memory store but never why it happens or how.

Strength: Murdock (1962). It is the best and most well known backup for the multi-store model of memory.
