Describe the capacity and duration of each stage of memory in the three stages model

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
In sensory memory, information that comes in from our eyes, ears, and other senses is briefly (a fraction of a second) stored in a sensory form, such as a sound or a visual image. If we pay attention to the information in our sensory memory, the information is sent on to the second stage, short-term memory (STM), for further processing. Short-term memory functions as a temporary holding tank for a limited amount of information. We can hold information in short-term memory for only a few seconds before we must act either to send it further on in the memory system or to keep it in short- term memory by refreshing it. If we decide to further process the information, we can move it from temporary storage in short-term memory to the permanent storage system of long-term memory (LTM)?
