Describe the difference between models that state memory is a serial versus a parallel process

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Serial processing assumes that one stage is completed at a time and that activities within each stage happen one at a time. The Atkinson and Shiffrin three-stage model of memory is a serial model. A parallel process assumes that an individual can simultaneously process a number of different characteristics of an experience that could then be committed to memory. Connectionist models of memory, such as the parallel distributed processing model, are an example of parallel processing. These models assume that interconnected networks are activated together.
