Preferred term
modal model of memory
Definition(s)
- Model of the structure and control processes of memory (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968). The information first enters the sensory register. Selected information is then transferred to the short-term store, whose capacity is limited. It is temporarily stored for several seconds. It may be kept longer if a mental rehearsal mechanism is engaged. Information is then transferred in the long-term store, and the latter can transfer information in the short-term store.
