Atkinson-Shiffrin multistore model of memory

multimodal

using a variety of methods

memory

the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information that has been previously encountered

Atkinson-Shiffrin multistore model of memory

a model of memorywhich outlines the three separate stores of memory (sensory, short-term, and long-term) each of which interact through the processes of encoding, storage, and retrieval

sensory memory

a store of memory which very briefly stores raw information detected by the senses

short-term memory

a store of memory that temporarily stores a limited amount of information that is consciously being attended to and actively manipulated

rehearsal

a controlled process which involves consciously repeating or manipulating information in short-term memory

encoding

the process of converting information into a useable form which can be manipulated and stored in the brain

long-term memory

a store of memory in which a potentially unlimited amount of information is stored for a relatively permanent amount of time

storage

the retention of information over time

retrieval

the process of accessing information, that has been stored in long-term memory, and bringing it into our conscious awareness in short-term memory
