Comprised of three systems: short-term sensory store, short-term memory, long-term memory, short-term sensory store (stss) Veridical: like a snapshot: constantly updating and replacing these snapshots, new snapshot replaces old one, the information from the old snapshot can no longer be retrieved. Purely sensory: visual (strongest sense), can involve sound and other senses. Flashed an array of letters and asked participants to recall all the letters that they saw.
