MSM Atkinson and shiffrin

Question 1

MSM process

Answer 1

Information enters the sensory memory from 5 senses it is held here for no longer
than a second or 2.
* If you pay attention to it; it enters the STM, which can hold 7+-2 items in capacity for
30 seconds duration. This store is encoded acoustically. It can be held here via
maintenance rehearsal.
* If rehearsed enough it will transfer to the LTM (Elaborative rehearsal) where it can be
stored for a life time and has an unlimited capacity. Encoding here is semantic.
Information can be retrieved when needed.
