Atkinson-Shiffrin Memory Model

The Atkinson-Shiffrin model, also known as the multi-store model or modal model, is a model of memory proposed in 1968 by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin. It asserts that human memory has three separate components: a sensory register where sensory information enters memory, a short-term store, also called working memory, which receives and holds input from both the sensory register and the long-term store, and a long-term store, where information rehearsed in the short-term store is held indefinitely; the model has come under much scrutiny and criticism since its first publication, but is notable for its significant influence in stimulating memory research.
