i actually practiced this exact question the night before which was lucky. for my outline i mentioned it being created by Atkinson and shiffrin, that its a theoritcal model and then described the capacity coding and duration of the sr,stm and ltm. for evaluation i did that there was loads of supporting studies, patient hm, and a weakness was the studies lacked ecological validity. What did you put?

i wrote the coding capacity and duration of sr, stm and ltm like you did, i spoke about patient KF, and i spoke about how it was too oversimplistic, and i said that it paved the way for other theories such as the working memory model to be introduced.

im not sure whether i confused maternal deprivation with monotropic attachment, but i wrote about rutter and the romanian orphans and how like if an attachment was formed before 6 months then they grow fine but if its after then they arent fine. i also spoke about the 44 thieves experiment and how 17 were remorseless and 15 out of the 17 didnt have a mum. I spoke about the need for a critical period as well

what other long questions were there? i know AQA didnt mention the fact that the topics are arranged in rank order but MSM is legit top of list for memory so if u guys get another essay for paper 2 that is on top of the list then maybe they were lazy and didnt bother putting it in different order ??

The maternal deprivation theory was about the 44 thieves study and affectionless psychopathy by Bowlby so yeah thats the right thing. the romanian orphans was to do with institutionalisation but was about maternal privation not deprivation so im not sure if it would count or not. The monotropic theory is about Adaptiveness, Social releasers, Critical period, Monotropic theory, Internal working model (ASC MI) also by Bowlby.

the 12 marker was either msm or maternal deprivation i forgot which was which but the other was an 8 marker
Thanks guys guess my theory was nonsense since maternal deprivation is legit bottom of list so couldn’t have been that! All the best hope you guys smash the rest !!
