Identify and describe the major steps of memory processing in the stores model of memory

What will be an ideal response?


Information that enters the information-processing system proceeds through three storage locations or stores. First, sensory stimuli from the environment enter the sensory store. Information is maintained in the sensory store very briefly and must be transferred to the next store in order to be remembered for a longer duration. Second, information from the sensory store enters the short-term store (or working memory). The short-term store holds information for several seconds and represents the storage location between the sensory store and the long-term store. Rehearsal enables information to be maintained in the short-term store. Finally, information is passed from the short-term store to the long-term store. Information that enters the long-term store is held permanently, and the capacity of long-term is unlimited.
