In a brief look at Craik & Watkins (1973) on line: (http://intranet.yorkcollege.ac.uk/yc/new/HUMSOC/psycho/unit1/craikwat.htmtheir ) , the conclusions (in this link) stated that "Evidence is against the Multi-Store Model of memory, information does not automatically pass from STM into LTM when rehearsed. We often rehearse information to use in the near future, and allow it to be then discarded." If this is actually the original authors conclusions (which I don't think it is) then it doesn't really criticize the multi-store memory model but supports it. But, doesn't the fact that subjects knew that they were only to keep the particular word in memory for a short time (until the next one of the same letter occurrs) confound the results. After all, they never 'intended' to remember them for the long term in the first place. (Do the authors consider "intention" as depth of processing?) I'm also not sure that what was intended in the original model was that mere repitition automatically enables information to enter LTM. --Mike
