Transitioning Memory Stages

In cognitive psychology, several models have been proposed to explain how memory functions. One influential model describes memory in terms of three distinct stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. According to this model, information is initially registered in sensory memory, where it is briefly held before either being forgotten or encoded into short-term memory. From short-term memory, the information can be either rehearsed to maintain it temporarily or encoded into long-term memory for more permanent storage.

Which of the following best describes the transition from short-term memory to long-term memory as proposed by this model?
