Multi Store Memory Model

What are the three main components of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory?

• Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

• Sensory memory, working memory, procedural memory

• Short-term memory, working memory, episodic memory

• Long-term memory, procedural memory, declarative memory

Which component of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model is responsible for holding information for the shortest duration?

• Long-term memory

• Short-term memory

• Sensory memory

• Working memory

In the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, which process is responsible for transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory?

• Encoding

• Retrieval

• Rehearsal

• Attention

What is the typical duration for which information is held in short-term memory according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• 1-2 seconds

• 15-30 seconds

• 1-2 minutes

• Indefinitely

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of long-term memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• Unlimited capacity

• Permanent storage

• Rapid decay

• Retrieval of information

According to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, what is the primary function of sensory memory?

• To store information permanently

• To process information for immediate use

• To filter and hold sensory information briefly

• To retrieve information from long-term memory

Which of the following best describes the capacity of short-term memory in the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• Unlimited

• 7 ± 2 items

• 20 ± 5 items

• 50 ± 10 items

In the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, what is the role of attention in memory processing?

• It helps in encoding information into long-term memory

• It filters sensory information to short-term memory

• It retrieves information from long-term memory

• It decays information in sensory memory

Which of the following processes is essential for maintaining information in short-term memory according to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• Chunking

• Encoding

• Rehearsal

• Retrieval

What is the primary limitation of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model?

• It does not account for the role of attention

• It oversimplifies the process of memory storage

• It ignores the existence of sensory memory

• It suggests that long-term memory has limited capacity
