Evaluating the Multi-Store Model of Memory: Patient KF Case Study

The multi-store model predicts that if people have damage to their short-term memory, then they will also have damage to their long-term memory. But patients like patient KF have damage to their short-term memory without damage to their long-term memory. So, the first limitation of the multi-store model is that it isn’t supported by findings from case studies.
