the Rolling Stone Model

The Rolling Stone Model is a framework for understanding how people process and remember information or events over time. It suggests that initial impressions or experiences are strong and influential, but their impact can diminish as new experiences accumulate. Essentially, earlier events shape perceptions early on, but as more information is gathered, the influence of earlier experiences "roll" or fade, similar to a stone rolling down a hill and gathering momentum or losing it. This model highlights the dynamic nature of perceptions and memory, emphasizing ongoing change rather than static impressions.
