  2. Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AtkinsonShiffrin_memory...

    Multi-store model: Atkinson and Shiffrin's (1968) original model of memory, consisting of the sensory register, short-term store, and long-term store. The model of memories is an explanation of how memory processes work. The three-part, multi-store model was first described by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968, [1] though the vac idea of distinct ...

  3. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    Two other theorists associated with the cognitive information processing theory are Richard C. Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin. In 1968 these two proposed a multi-stage theory of memory. They explained that from the time information is received by the processing system, it goes through different stages to be fully stored.

  4. Long-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_memory

    Long-term memory. Long-term memory ( LTM) is the stage of the Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model in which informative knowledge is held indefinitely. It is defined in contrast to sensory memory, the initial stage, and short-term or working memory, the second stage, which persists for about 18 to 30 seconds. LTM is grouped into two categories ...

  5. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    The multi-store model (also known as Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model) was first described in 1968 by Atkinson and Shiffrin. The multi-store model has been criticised for being too simplistic. For instance, long-term memory is believed to be actually made up of multiple subcomponents, such as episodic and procedural memory. It also proposes ...

  6. Richard Shiffrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shiffrin

    Richard Shiffrin (born March 13, 1942) is an American psychologist, professor of cognitive science in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University, Bloomington. Shiffrin has contributed a number of theories of attention and memory to the field of psychology. He co-authored the Atkinson–Shiffrin model of memory in ...

  7. Levels of Processing model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levels_of_Processing_model

    This theory contradicts the multi-store Atkinson-Shiffrin memory model which represents memory strength as being continuously variable, the assumption being that rehearsal always improves long-term memory. They argued that rehearsal that consists simply of repeating previous analyses (maintenance rehearsal) doesn't enhance long-term memory.

  8. Memory consolidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_consolidation

    Memory consolidation is a category of processes that stabilize a memory trace after its initial acquisition. [1] A memory trace is a change in the nervous system caused by memorizing something. Consolidation is distinguished into two specific processes. The first, synaptic consolidation, which is thought to correspond to late-phase long-term ...

  9. Forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting

    Forgetting or disremembering is the apparent loss or modification of information already encoded and stored in an individual's short or long-term memory. It is a spontaneous or gradual process in which old memories are unable to be recalled from memory storage. Problems with remembering, learning and retaining new information are a few of the ...
