Question

Howis information processed through sensory, short-term and
long-termmemory systems?

Global Expert · Accepted Answer

Theinformation is processed through sensory, short-term and
long-termmemory systems in the following ways:

(i) Sensory Memory − The incoming information
enters through sensory memory which has a large capacity but is of
very short duration of less than a second It registers information
from each of the senses with a reasonable accuracy
(ii) Short-term Memory − It refers to the system
that holds small amount of information for a brief period of time
According to Atkinson and Shiffrin, the information is primarily
encoded acoustically and unless it is rehearsed continuously, the
information gets lost within 30 seconds
(iii) Long-term Memory − The information that
survives in short term memory enters the long-term memory system
Once information enters here, it is never forgotten as it gets
encoded semantically Thus, it is a permanent storehouse of all the
information
