The term "modal model" reflects the importance of Atkinson and Shiffrin's paper in capturing the major developments in the cognitive psychology of memory that were achieved over the previous decade, providing an integrated framework that has formed the basis for many future developments. The fact that it is still the most cited model from that period some 50 years later has, we suggest, implications for the model itself and for theorising in psychology more generally. We review the essential foundations of the model before going on to discuss briefly the way in which one of its components, the short-term store, had influenced our own concept of a multicomponent working memory. This is followed by a discussion of recent claims that the concept of a short-term store be replaced by an interpretation in terms of activated long-term memory. We present several reasons to question these proposals. We conclude with a brief discussion of the implications of the longevity of the modal model for styles of theorising in cognitive psychology.
“模态模型”一词反映了阿特金森和希夫林的论文在捕捉记忆认知心理学过去十年中取得的主要发展方面的重要性，提供了一个综合框架，为许多未来的发展奠定了基础。大约 50 年后的今天，它仍然是那个时期被引用最多的模型，我们认为，这对该模型本身以及更广泛的心理学理论化都有影响。在讨论其组成部分之一的短期存储如何影响我们自己的多成分工作记忆概念之前，我们先回顾一下该模型的基本基础。接下来，我们将简要讨论最近有人提出的用激活的长时记忆来解释短期存储的概念。我们提出了几个质疑这些建议的理由。最后，我们简要讨论了模态模型的长寿对认知心理学理论化风格的影响。
