Storage duration of sensory memory (MSM)
visual - 200-500 milliseconds
echoic - 3-4 seconds
Storage duration of short term memory (MSM)
15-30 seconds
Storage duration of long term memory (MSM)
20 mins - lifetime
Storage capacity of sensory memory (MSM)
unlimited but most decays
Storage capacity of short term memory (MSM)
5-9 items
Storage capacity of long term memory (MSM)
potentially unlimited
Forgetting in the sensory memory (MSM)
decays if not transferred into STM
Forgetting in the short term memory (MSM)
decays if not rehearsed or displaced
