| information- processing model | proposes that the three processes that are central to long-term memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. |
| multi-store model | Three stages are Sensory memory, Short-term memory and Long-term memory; also called three-stage model |
| George A. Miller | developed the information-processing model of memory |
| Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin | developed the multi-store stages of memory |
| sensory memory | It's retained just long enough to be recognized; main two types include iconic and echoic |
| short-term memory (STM) | memory that can only be stored for a brief period of time (about 30 seconds); capacity is very limited |
| long-term memory | unlimited capacity; this type of memory can be stored for decades |
| encoding | conversion of a sensory input into a form capable of being processed and deposited in memory |
| explicit memory | the stored memory of facts; includes semantic and episodic memory |
