Using the Atkinson Shriffin memory model, which process forms a LTM from STM

The multi-store model of memory....

• describes a flow of information through three separate memory stages in a fixed order.
• describes a flow of information through three separate memory stores in a fixed order.
• sees memory as a byproduct of processing.
• suggests that memory has 4 separate memory storages.

Which of the following provides the best definition for the sensory memory store? 

• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for a very brief time.
• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for up to 30 seconds.
• All short term memories are retained as exact copies for a very brief time.
• All the stimuli that bombard our senses are retained in their original sensory form (i.e.., as exact copies) for a potentially unlimited time
