Describe the three-stage concept of memory developed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin.
What will be an ideal response?
According to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, memory involves a sequence of sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory stages. Much information makes it no further than the sensory memories of sounds and sights. This information is retained only for a brief instant. However, some information, especially that to which one pays attention, is transferred to short-term memory, where it can be retained for about 30 seconds (or longer with the aid of rehearsal). Atkinson and Shiffrin claimed that the longer information is retained in short-term memory through the use of rehearsal, the greater its chance is of getting into long-term memory. Information in long-term memory also can be retrieved back into short-term memory.
