Preferred term

SPI model  

Definition(s)

  • The SPI model (for Serial, Parallel, Independent) is based on the idea that memory is composed of several hierarchically organized systems (Tulving, 1995). In addition, the model clarifies the functional relationships between these systems. 1. The encoding is assumed to be serial, coding in a system is dependent on the successful coding in the previous system; 2. The information is stored in parallel in the different systems; 3. The information retrieval in a system is independent of the retrieval in the other systems.
