Multi-Store Model

The Multi-Store Model of memory explains how information is processed and stored in our minds through three main stages. First, sensory memory briefly holds incoming information from our senses. If we pay attention, it moves to short-term memory, where we actively work with it. With rehearsal, some of this information can be encoded into long-term memory, where it can be stored for future retrieval. This model highlights that memory involves different processes and storage locations, helping us understand how we learn, remember, and forget.
