Basic Facts about the multi-store model:

Sensory Memory:

  • The sensory memory is the first store in the Model.
  • It is where information is first recieved
  • information is recieved through our senses (hence why its called "sensory") e.g visual, smell, touch and echoic (sound)
  • The sensory memory has a vast capacity (how much information it can grasp) e.g when you look at a picture, you can see the whole image
