Two empirical challenges to the traditional "modal model" of short-term memory are that neither the Brown-Peterson distractor technique nor the recency effect in recall is well accommodated by that position. Additionally, the status of memory stores as such, has declined in response to proceduralist thinking. At the same time, the concept of coding, on which the modal model is silent, is increasingly central to memory theory. People need to remember things in the short term, but a dedicated store does not need to be the agency.
对传统短期记忆“模态模型”的两个实证挑战在于，布朗-彼得森干扰技术和回忆中的近因效应都无法被该模型很好地解释。此外，记忆存储本身的地位，因程序主义思维而有所下降。与此同时，模态模型未涉及的编码概念，在记忆理论中变得越来越核心。人们需要短期记忆，但不一定需要一个专门的存储机制来实现。
