Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory

A model of memory proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin that describes human memory as having three key stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Short-term Memory

The capacity for holding a small amount of information in an active, readily available state for a short period of time.

Sensory Memory

The shortest-term element of memory, it's the ability to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimuli have ended, acting almost as a buffer for stimuli through the senses.
