Multi-Store Model of Memory Question

Medium Unit 5: Cognitive Psychology Memory Models

In the study of cognitive psychology, various models of memory help psychologists understand how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. One influential model is the Multi-Store Model of Memory, which suggests that memory is divided into three distinct stores: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). Each store has a unique function and duration for holding information.

Based on this understanding, which statement about the Multi-Store Model of Memory is true?

Sensory memory has an unlimited capacity but retains information for only a few seconds.

Short-term memory has a limited capacity and can hold information for up to 30 seconds.

Long-term memory requires continuous rehearsal to retain information indefinitely.

Sensory memory processes information in a semantic format rather than an iconic or echoic format.

All memories stored in long-term memory eventually decay over time.
