Document Summary
The atkinson-shiffrin model: the first thing to notice about the atkinson-shiffrin model is that it includes three memory stores. Retrieval brings information from the ltm back into the. Stm; this happens when you become aware of existing memories, such as remembering a movie you saw last week. Echoic memory, the auditory form of sensory memory, is held for considerably longer, but still only about five seconds. After hearing the tone, participants were able to report the corresponding line of letters bottom, middle, or top. Short-term memory and the magical number 7: although transferring info from sensory into the stm increases the chances that this information will be remembered later, it is not guaranteed. This is because short-term memory (stm) is a memory store with limited capacity and duration (less than a minute): the capacity of stm was summed as the magical number 7 2.
