The multi-store model was propsed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. It is a processing system and is divided into stages in which each one concerns either capacity, duration or encoding. They believe information from the enviorment registers with the sensory memory for a brief period of time. It then either decays or passes on into the short-term memory store. Short-term memory (STM) has a small capacity and short duration, therefore information can be lost within a few seconds if it is not rehearsed. Items are usually held in the STM in the form of sound. If sufficiently rehearsed it can be passed into the Long-term memory (LTM). Once in there, it can be stored for a lifetime but can be lost or damage by damage to the brain and/or processes of decay or interference. 1 of 2 What is Sensory Memory? 2 of 2
