    • Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) The multi-store model of memory
      • sensory register
        • duration: brief < 1/2 second
        • coding: two types: iconic memory codes visually echoic memory codes acoustically
        • capacity: high - many nerves
      • short- term memory
        • coding: acoustic
        • duration: limited- 18- 30 secs
        • capacity: 7+-2 items or 4 chunks
