consisted of three stores: sensory register, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). Information passes from store to store in a linear way. Both STM and LTM are unitary stores. Sensory memory is the information you get from your sense, your eyes and ears. When attention is paid to something in the environment it is then converted to short-term memory. If any information is not important then it decays or disappears. Once in the short term memory informed can be rehearsed and some

other words, it is divided into three steps as the process of memory, from sensory to short-term to long-term memory. Sensory memory is the shortest memory in the brain. It received information through five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, which last 1-3 seconds but retain accurately. For instance, people saw something and remembered what it looked like is an ability of sensory memory. Short-term memory (“working memory, which is essential for human cognition, can be thought of as

stages of the system; sensory memory, short term memory and long term memory. Information passes through each stage of the system in a linear fashion by maintenance rehearsal. Also, external stimuli, like hearing the headline for the day's news, first enters the sensory memory in an uncoded form where they are registered for a very minuscule period of time. It is not until we focus our attention on the object, for the information to be transferred to the short term memory. For example, we notice everything

memory model suggest that short term memory isn’t a single system but rather an alliance of several temporary memory systems working together. The components of the working memory are, the central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketch pad (VSS) and the episodic buffer. Each part plays a vital role. In order for the WMM to work there must be some input which enters your sensory memory. The capacity is very large. The duration for sensory memory is very short up to 2 seconds. If the information

memory is sometimes called iconic memory because it refers to the short image of an image, or icon. Auditory sensory memory is sometimes called echoic memory because it is like an echo. (D. Hockenbury, 2009; S. Hockenbury, 2009 p. 233-235) According to Baddeley, short-term memory is the center that processes the sensory memory information then “holds that information for about 20 seconds and sends certain information to the long-term memory" (as cited in D. Hockenbury, 2009; S. Hockenbury, 2009

attention is paid to information it enters the short term memory. According to Miller, the short term memory has a capacity of 7+-2 items. The duration of the short term memory last between 18 and 30 seconds, the STM is encoded mainly acoustically but sometimes visually. If maintenance rehearsal takes place it will remain in the STM or will be lost through decay or displacement. Elaborative rehearsal will then transfer information into the long term memory, which has an unlimited capacity and duration

phonological store is the inner ear and contains snippets of sounds either from the outside world or recalled from long term memory. The articulatory control process is the inner voice which essentially is our own voice inside our heads as it constantly repeats or rehearses information so therefore preventing forgetting by decay. The visuo-spatial sketch pad is visual short term memory, or the inner eye. It can manipulate images in two and three dimensions. The WMM shows memory as an active process

enter short term memory ( STM )which, according to Miller, has a capacity of 7+/- 2 bits of information. It can last up to 18 seconds, without rehearsal, according to Peterson and Peterson. Baddeley found that information in STM is encoded mainly acoustically, although Brandimonte showed that sometimes it is done visually. If maintenance rehearsal takes place it will remain in STM or be forgotten through decay or displacement. Elaborative rehearsal will then transfer information into long term memory

The information processing theory studies how the human mind stores and categorizes newly learned information. Within this theory is the dual-store memory model, which consists of the sensory register, working (short-term) memory, and long-term memory. The sensory register is the first place newly learned information arrives, and it stays there for a small period of time. The sensory register can hold a large amount of newly learned information, but it quickly travels to working memory, as the learner
