Multi-Store Model of Memory Sequence

Easy Unit 5: Cognitive Psychology Memory Models

In the study of cognitive psychology, memory models help us understand how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. One of the first and most influential models is the multi-store model, proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin. This model suggests that memory consists of three distinct stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Which of the following options best describes the sequence of information processing according to the multi-store model of memory?

Information first enters long-term memory, then into short-term memory, and finally is perceived by sensory memory.

Sensory memory processes information first, followed by short-term memory, and then it can be encoded into long-term memory.

Information goes directly from sensory memory to long-term memory without any further processing.

Short-term memory can only process information that has been stored in long-term memory.

Sensory memory and long-term memory simultaneously receive information at the same time.
