Which three memory systems make up the Stage Model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin?
AEpisodic memory, semantic memory and autobiographical memory
BImplicit memory, explicit memory and procedural memory
CSensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory
DIconic memory, echoic memory and haptic memory
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory
1. The Stage Model groups memory into three structurally distinct stores.
2. It names them in bold as the Sensory Memory, the Short-term Memory and the Long-term Memory.
3. Each store has its own capacity and duration, and control processes carry information between them.
4. Distractor 2 lists implicit and procedural which cross the LTM boundary not the Stage Model's structure.
5. Hence the three Stage Model systems are sensory, short-term and long-term memory.
