Memory Model Characteristics

Medium Unit 5: Cognitive Psychology Memory Models

In the field of cognitive psychology, memory models provide crucial insight into how we process information. One well-known framework is the multi-store model, which suggests that memory consists of three distinct stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Each store has different characteristics, including duration and capacity. Which of the following statements correctly describes one of these memory stores?

Short-term memory can hold a limited amount of information for an indefinite period.

Sensory memory retains information for a duration of about 30 seconds.

Long-term memory has an unlimited capacity and can store information for a lifetime.

Short-term memory is capable of storing sensory impressions in detail.

Sensory memory only processes auditory information.
