- Multi-store model of memory
- Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968)
- sensory memory
- very limited capacity and duration
- multi-modal encoding
- info lost through rapid decay
- has a store for each of the senses
- hearing
- sight
- touch
- short-term memory
- limited capacity and duration
- acoustic encoding
- lost through rapid decay or displacement
- no seperate comparments
- long-term memory
- unlimited capacity and duration
- semantic encoding
- info lost through decay or interference
- no separate compartments
- rehersal
- attention
- three seperate stores - sensory, STM & LTM
- information entering the memory system passes through the stores in a fixed stage. sensory - (attention) - STM - (rehersal) - LTM
