- buffer for all of the information brief duration
- Short-term Memory
- limited
- can hold 7 bits of information for 18-30 seconds
- rehearsed to retain info for longer - may move to LTM
- Long-term Memory
- potentially infinite capacity
- can hold memories for a few memories for a few minutes or many years
- Evaluation
- weaknesses
- overly simplistic
- hard to test duration
