Baddeley and Hitch argue that the MSM... 

  • Is too simple, because they only describe ONE pathway to forming/recalling memory. It doesn’t consider different types of memory, such as episodic, procedural, sematic etc. These different pathways are seen in Clive Wearing and HM Milner 

  • Doesn’t explain flashbulb memories (memories that are deeply rooted into our brains due to high emotional significance or high significance in general) 

However, doesn’t emphasize the role of rehearsal.
