Document Summary

One core assumption of information-processing approaches is that an individual has limited mental resources in processing information. A second core assumption is that information moves through a system of stores. Information is brought into the mind by way of the sensory systems, and then it can be manipulated in various ways, placed into long-term storage, and retrieved when needed to solve a problem. The model portrays the mind as containing 3 types of memory stores -- sensory memory, short-term (or working) memory, and long-term memory -- conceived of metaphorically as places where information is held and operated on. Each store type is characterized by its function, its capacity, and its duration. In addition, the model specifies a set of control processes, including attention, rehearsal, encoding, and retrieval, which govern the processing of information within stores and the movement of information from one stores to another. Sensory memory: the brief prolongation of sensory experience.
