Explain one weakness of the multi-store model of memory.

It is argued that the multi-store model of memory is too simple. The model suggests that the short-term memory and long-term memory are unitary stores. However, this appears to be too simple to account for the complex nature of memory. For example, it is suggested that there may be different stores for each sense in the short-term memory.
