A model of memory proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) that features memory as being comprised of three major components: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Also known as the Multistore Model of Memory. Show
IntroductionIn their proposal of the Dual-Store Model, Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) claim that memory processing involves a series of sequential processes that lead to the input, storage and usage of information. This model of memory breaks down memory processing into three distinct components known as sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information is first processed in the form of sensory memory, and subsequent processing leads this information to be stored in short-term memory and later transferred to long-term memory. Sensory MemoryIn the initial phase of memory processing, stimuli from the environment are detected via the senses and the information provided is stored in the form of sensory memory.

These stages were first proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968).
What is the 3 component model of memory?It describes the general nature of the three components (sensory register, working memory, long-term memory) and integrates the roles of attention, in-depth cognitive processing, and executive functions into the model.
What did Atkinson and Shiffrin say about memory?Atkinson and Shiffrin believed that once information enters the brain, it must be either stored or maintained and that the information which is stored goes into three distinct memory systems: the sensory register, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
