AQA psychology memory mind map explained
An AQA A Level psychology memory mind map sets out the main ideas in the memory topic in one view. Memory is usually studied through models such as the multi-store model (sensory, short-term and long-term memory) and the working memory model (central executive and its slave systems). Long-term memory is divided into types, including episodic, semantic and procedural memory, and each area links to key studies and their evaluation.
- Multi-store model: stores, capacity, duration and encoding
- Working memory model: central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad
- Long-term memory types: episodic, semantic and procedural memory
- Key research: studies on capacity, duration and eyewitness memory
- Evaluation: strengths, limitations and real-world applications
Use the map to revise by covering branches and recalling each one from memory. To build a version from your own notes, create a personalised memory map with CogniGuide.

Memory topic questions
Common questions about the AQA memory topic and making a map.
What are the main memory models in AQA psychology?
The two models usually taught are the multi-store model, which describes sensory, short-term and long-term memory, and the working memory model, which describes a central executive with the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad. Both are assessed through their structure and supporting research.
What types of long-term memory should I know?
Long-term memory is commonly divided into episodic memory for personal events, semantic memory for facts and knowledge, and procedural memory for skills and actions. Each type has its own evidence and examples worth noting.
Which files can I use to make my memory map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic name instead.
Is it free to make a memory map with CogniGuide?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise the limits. You can also turn the finished map into a quiz.
