According to Atkinson-Shiffrin model, what are the three distinct stages that a memory has to pass through in order to go into long-term memory?
Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, Long-Term Memory
What is the function of Sensory Memory?

Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
Who introduced an important methodological variation on the task of arrays consisting of three rows of four letters?
Sperling
This quiz explores the concept of auditory sensory memory in visual displays, where participants were cued to recall specific rows of letters after a delay. The results demonstrate a decrease in the number of items reported as the delay in the cuing tone increased.
