Understanding Memory Models: Multi-Store Model

Hard Unit 5: Cognitive Psychology Memory Models

In the study of cognitive psychology, models of memory play a crucial role in understanding how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. One influential model of memory is the multi-store model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin. This model outlines different stages of memory processing. Based on this model, which of the following statements accurately describes a component of the multi-store memory model?

Working memory is a long-term storage system that maintains information indefinitely.

Sensory memory is responsible for the short-term retention of information for seconds.

Information in short-term memory is permanently stored unless it is rehearsed.

Long-term memory is characterized by a limited capacity for information.

Information passes through sensory memory, short-term memory, and then into long-term memory.
